| Comment: Although they originally hail from Laval, Que., these two not-quite-hipsters could easily be mistaken for any ultra-cool French dance DJ duo. Somehow the idea they could be European makes seem cool. |

hard we peed our pants. |

With their heavy accents and floppy hair hanging dangerously low over their eyes, these two electro-teens are hip and they know it. They dance, sing, and turn buttons as they please, as if playing to a bedroom basement full of drunk friends. Although they thanked the sparse crowd a lot, this night was just another chance to have fun in front of people. |

You know Justice? Well, picture them 10 years younger, singing and being gay. That pretty much sums up Rawalpindi. This is extremely danceable music with few signs of melody or chorus, perfect for hip loft parties where people want to dance, but don't necessarily want to pay attention. |

Rawalpindi incorporated a lot of hair metal dance moves into their set (i.e. head banging, power thrusts and magic fingers), which is not seen with enough dance duos. One half of the duo disappeared for the final two songs. At first it was unclear if that member passed out off stage in between songs. But he returned when the set was done, so he's alive and well, don't worry. He must have just been bored.
