Got wood?

Electro-dancepop duo Woodhands have lots of fans, thanks to their energetic, slightly crazed show and their oddball take on the genre. Dan Werb and Paul Banwatt are the guilty pair behind this noise (you may also know Paul from another hot band of the moment, Rural Alberta Advantage, who are playing Zaphod Beeblebrox this week).

Those Hands!

Paul shows the Star Trek love.

Dan multitasks.

Dan sings! And slightly resembles a cranky Elvis Costello.

Gesticulating action!

Dan can roll his sleeves up and work on his tan now since it turned sunny.

Paul sings! (There was no girl available to do so.)

Big finish! Or the whole lot, if you prefer.

They've just finished a stint with Junior Boys, and head out west at the end of the month.
  • Show reminder: Two Foot Falls perform at Zaphod Beeblebrox. Wise, Young & King perform at The Rainbow. Dan Voltan, Sydney York, Amy Thiessen and Kaley Bird are at the Avant-Garde.
