We’re doing a new weekly post highlighting our local Vancouver scene.
To start things off we have hometown hero’s, Japandroids.
They have just released their debut album, Post Nothing which has been greeted with a 8.3 pitchfork rating and a feature on their coveted, best new music section. Anyone who knows aaanything about anything will understand this significance.
They have been taking the internet by storm. Everyone is writing about their lo-fi noise pop sound which sounds like a load of nerdspeak. I think it’s better put that these two dudes rock pretty hard and their music is great.
East Van represent.

Antonia Hirsch
Antonia Hirsch teaches at Emily Carr still I think and she’s been pretty active in Vancouver for over a decade working in all mediums. She has a new show of conceptual photographs opening at Republic Gallery Friday night, 6-8pm, 732 Richards St. She’s also debuting her Vancouver Community College commission at their Broadway campus of mirrored acrylic domes, which you can see on her official website.
My fav project by her though is still the dress made of tea bags that she filmed transforming in a swimming pool.
