Hooliganship are the masterminds behind a set of visual compilations called Cartune Xprez, which bring together some of the best illustrators/animators in North America and beyond, dedicated to the cause of avant-garde cartoon delight. Having completed the second Cartune Xprez compilation, and having embarked on their biggest tour ever, Hooliganship are happy to be taking the Xprez train to Victoria for a northwestern homecoming show/DVD release party at Open Space 510 Fort st. in Victoria. The event is presented by the fifty fifty arts collective and will feature cartoons by Takeshi Murata, Bruce Bickford, Paper Rad, Blu, and more. And of course, they'll be live music from HOOLIGANSHIP, THE REVOLUTIONARY CYBORG WEDDING BAND and VINCAT

Hooliganship have an unforgettable live show which blends their penchant for animation with their passion for electro rock. Coming off like a game of Super Mario in a parallel dimension, Hooliganship craft elaborate video sequences with which they interact on stage. They at once create the blip-bleepingly glorious live soundtrack for the video, while also playing along -- a giant remote control on stage turns on a TV screen within the video, etc. The result is compelling, humorous, and downright innovative -- plus costume changes!
