Acrpost: A Project of the Pacific Association of Artist Run Centres

Event Description

Petroleum By-Product is a trio with a penchant for garbage and glamour, their lush and lavish new wave/post-punk embellishes our trash-based culture. Reviewed as “the most downright fierce electropop since David Bowie was being angular in front of the Berlin Wall,” they are the band you must have to survive these days.

Boats - Armed with a bucket of toy instruments, boundless enthusiasm, and Mat Klachefsky’s high pitched squeal and absurdist lyrics, Boats is the kind of band you probably don’t want your cool friends to see you dancing to.

Hard Drugs - Originally a side-project of a side-project, Hard Drugs is now the musical focus of husband and wife duo Jeffry Lee and Jenni Lee Nelson, and has always been an outlet for them to collaborate with many of their talented friends.
