Cirque at FIVESIXTY presents LONGWALKSHORTDOCK on Friday, May 15.

Hailing from Nelson, British Columbia LONGWALKSHORTDOC made waves with his breakthrough performances at Soundwave 2009 and Shambhala 2010. He’s now selling out venues all across Canada, including FIVESIXTY a few short years ago.

As a veteran of sound design and electronic music production, LWSD has established his own genre of music, one that is heavily influenced by early 80’s video games, rock music and vintage analog synthesis.  Moreover, his vast musical library includes DM, electro, acid, house, big beat, indie-rock, drones, electronica and down tempo, ultimately making for an undeniable visceral experience.

Tickets are $15.00 in advance and available online or at Zulu, Beatstreet and Redcat Records.  Doors at 9:00 pm, show at 10:00 pm.

Hitting the stage with LWSD will be SHAH DJS, Vincent Parker, as well as CIRQUE’s residents DJs.  For more information visit the event page.

I’ll give you 1,2,3 reasons you need to hear this Pittsburg duo; simple, catchy, and oh-so-fresh. Oh sure, you get reasons like that all the time right? If you’re into high quality rock with roots and soul this is for you… I’m struggling to find someone who doesn’t appreciate a little sex. What? Sex?

Just listen.

1,2,3 – Work

Yes, they are called 1,2,3.

I find it really hard to hate this catchy-as-fuck pop song by Swedish duo Icona Pop.  Mostly because they speak another language and I’m totes a 90′s bitch.

New York based duo Ghost Beach are exactly what you need for summer, as their tropical take on indie pop is the perfect backdrop for new romances and drunken encounters.

One of the toughest tricks in being a pop musician is creating music that feels current, and yet sets itself apart from it’s peers. In the midst of Vancouver’s indie scene, Synthcake rears it’s mast. The band makes a unique blend of electronic pop music that leaves many other local acts feeling just a tad generic. Believe it or not, Lana Pitre, frontlady and songstress of Synthcake, gets away with making indie-electro-circus pop, this is honestly the best way to describe what you hear.

Molding Through the Seasons is their freshly released EP. The five tracks offer a rich blend between hallucinative and haunting lady voices, and bouncing carnival grooves that are just plain fun.

Synthcake – Drip
Synthcake – Sail Away

You can check out their EP Release on May 11th, and you can purchase a digital copy of MTS on Bandcamp.
