Bejar split his time between Destroyer and other bands of note like the New Pornographers and Swan Lake\, among others\, but Destroyer gradually grew from their Bowie-esque indie folk of their early recordings into far more ambitious experiments with arrangement\, instrumentation\, and delivery. Bejar’s laid-back yet theatrical songwriting presence sits at the center of every phase Destroyer goes through\, from the acoustic-leaning melodrama of 2004’s Your Blues to the cinematic lounge pop of 2011’s Kaputt to experiments with synthesizers and spoken word on albums like 2020’s Have We Met and dense pop orchestration on 2025’s Dan’s Boogie.\nDestroyer has released records listed by Exclaim! magazine as among the “ten best Canadian albums of all time”\, has been nominated multiple times for the Polaris Prize\, been on countless Best of the Year lists…and is truly one of the most enigmatic singer songwriters of this century.\nhttps://www.mergerecords.com/artist/destroyerhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Destroyer_(band)https://destroyer.bandcamp.com/https://www.facebook.com/Destroyer/https://www.instagram.com/destroyer_band/\n\nwith special guests\nFROG EYESFrog Eyes’ music is a feverish\, theatrical strain of indie rock built around Carey Mercer’s unmistakable vocal style—quavering\, urgent\, and emotionally maximal—and songs that lurch between jagged intensity and fragile beauty. Their records often feel like surreal narratives delivered in bursts: guitars slash and shimmer\, drums tumble forward with restless momentum\, and Mercer’s lyrics spill out in dense\, imagistic torrents. Across albums from The Golden River to Violet Psalms and their recent reunion releases\, the band has carved out a singular sonic world—art‑rock that’s raw\, strange\, and deeply expressive\, always sounding like it’s pushing against the edges of its own imagination.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frog_Eyeshttps://paperbagrecords.com/frog-eyes/https://www.facebook.com/FrogEyesBand/https://www.instagram.com/frogeyesmusic/https://www.allmusic.com/artist/frog-eyes-mn0000988108https://frogeyes.bandcamp.com/album/the-open-up\n\nand local uber talents\nGLOBAL FAKE (Victoria/Courtenay)(members of The Jolts\, TV Freaks\, Night Mirrors)Melodic punk rock and post punk from across van island. 3 piece with some beautiful and some dirty tunes.https://globalfake.bandcamp.com/album/western-declinehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ILu0KKvIj5o\n\nPRANATRICKSAndrew Clements is Pranatricks and has been crazy busy releasing his new album Infiniteness\, getting loads of cross Canada raves for his indie psych folk\, wrapping up a tour…and is now planning a special set (with band and visuals) for Destroyer.https://pranatricks.com/https://pranatricks.bandcamp.com/https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCXC8pNorwKHptjIpSP7GGtwhttps://www.instagram.com/pranatricks/https://www.tiktok.com/@pranatricks?lang=en
