Manitoba Live Music Event

About

Van Damsel has amassed a heap of accolades on the back of their powerful and propulsive live show, which they’ve taken across Canada twice and also played a big part in their $50,000 finish in the 2015 edition of BC’s prestigious PEAK Performance Project. They’ve earned slots supporting the likes of Tokyo Police Club, Mother Mother, and Yukon Blonde, and whether it’s a festival main stage or packed club, Van Damsel brings their unique energy and empowering message to the masses. “We want people to walk away from a show feeling inspired,” Barron adds – “inspired to do whatever it is they want to do, to pursue it with passion and persist through challenges.”

It’s part of human nature – consistently striving to reach new plateaus and pinnacles in virtually any personal pursuit. And in addition to being a central lyrical theme in the debut LP from BC-based electro-pop outfit Van Damsel, it’s also critical to their creative union and, by extension, their eclectic sonic concoction. Van Damsel seamlessly weaves organic indie rock with glossy synth pop, blurring lines between styles and eras and bridging now with then, digital with analog, sparkle with substance. It’s a sound that tastefully borrows from genre benders like Phoenix, LCD Soundsystem, and even contemporaries like The 1975, resulting in a fresh mix with massive mainstream appeal.
