Foundation Concerts’ presents Toronto-based synth-drum duo Woodhands this February 24th, 2010 at The Pawn Shop in Edmonton, AB. Woodhands are touring in support of their anticipated new release, Remorsecapade (Paperbag Records), out January 26, 2010. Vancouver’s Brasstronaut will support.

Woodhands’ Dan Werb and Paul Banwatt are intent on injecting electro pop into a dose of emotional intensity and a generous portion of glam rock swagger. With a live show that’s got to be seen to be believed, Woodhands creates big dance tracks that are built out of blood, sweat and tears without the assistance of any pre-recorded samples, laptops or other safety nets. Instead, they rely on some seriously monster drumming, finger-licking keytar work and some pretty punk rock vocals to get the party started.

Since the release of their debut album, Heart Attack, Woodhands has received all kinds of accolades for both their recorded work and their relentless live show, appearing on ‘Best of’ lists including recently being anointed one of the 10 Best New Bands On Earth by British tastemaker Q Magazine following their coverage of SXSW 2009. In short, kids are going crazy for this Woodhands dance party thing.
