HOLY FUCK
The Toronto-based electronic collective Holy Fuck was formed in 2004 by Graham Walsh and Brian Borcherdt. Described as "blip-hoppers" and "a shabbily dressed Kraftwerk," Holy Fuck's lo-fi electronic noise music is created entirely with old analog musical and non-musical instruments -- including a 35mm film synchronizer. Without the use of laptops and other conventional electronic instruments, the group strives to re-create their chaotic, Casio-driven live presence on their recorded output. The group released their eponymous debut album in 2005.

NICE NICE
Portland’s experimental duo Nice Nice features guitarist Jason Buehler and percussionist Mark Shirazi. Though the pair began playing in the mid-‘90s, they didn’t adopt the Nice Nice moniker until 1999. From the start of their collaboration, however, their improvisations and nimble interplay defined their music on record and in their live shows. Their self-titled debut EP appeared in 2001 on the Archigramophone imprint, followed by a single on White Denim and appearances on compilations from that label and Tigerbeat6.
