It's a night of the battling electronic duos in Nanaimo, featuring Moonbean, Avro, and Rare-Earth Magnet!
Moonbean is a queer, Toronto-based electronic duo who lace their live, synth hardware set with lush vocals. Their experimental synth-pop weaves in psychedelia, acid-house, techno, and disco, while their performance style harkens to a punk aesthetic.
The night also features Denman Island synthpop, classic new wave / cold wave duo Avro. Featuring Atom Percy and Megan Rose, they released their full length album ‘Futuretroactivism’ in June 2022, and have a new EP in production for release in spring 2024.
And rounding out the line up is Rare-Earth Magnet - based in Port Alberni, BC (originally formed in Whitehorse, Yukon), they're a synth playing, prog-ish, guitar soloing, shoe gaze, bedroom pop, modern rock band fronted by Zach and Amber Pelland.
Doors at 8pm, music at 8:30, admission is suggested $20.
