1601 Johnston St, Vancouver, BC V6H 3R9

Farida Amadou (Belgium) and White People Killed Them (US) meet at the intersection of performance and politics. With scathing electronics, turbulent guitar, enveloping bass sonorities, and power-clatter drumming, this first-time convergence encourages surprise inventions, calamities and celebrations, and the erecting and defending of democratic spaces (beyond the limits of the bandstand). Bassist Farida Amadou has worked with a dizzying array of musical thinkers, from legends like Thurston Moore, Linda Sharrock, and Ken Vandermark, to European contemporaries Jasper Stadhouders, Onno Govaert, and Eve Risser. The first Native American to win a Pulitzer Prize for music, Raven Chacon is a composer, performer, and installation artist from Fort Defiance, Navajo Nation. John Dieterich is best known as a guitarist in the innovative noise pop(-ish) group Deerhoof. Marshall Trammell (Black Spirituals) is an experimental percussionist and designer of interculturally-situated, arts-driven social engagement interventions.
