By Liisa Ladouceur (CHARTattack) August 5, 2009 4:24 pm
If you wanted to catch Holy Fuck in an outdoor setting this summer, you've had multiple choices of big-time music festivals, from Fuji Rock in Japan to Sled Island in Calgary. But if you wanted to witness Holy Fuck play a tiny stage in the middle of a dark field surrounded by robots, there was just one place to be this past weekend: Electric...

Here's his report: Final Fantasy's Owen Pallett may be a man of few words, but it was the fans at Calgary's third annual Sled Island Music Festival that were left speechless after his show.

Metric's Fantasies Revealed Live In Toronto

in
By Sheena Lyonnais (CHARTattack) April 15, 2009 4:29 pm
I'd never seen Holy Fuck before, and was eager for their electro-rock assault. They ripped through primarily instrumental dance numbers with the fervour of a punk band, using a mass of synths, keyboards, effects pedals, heavy bass and raging drums as their weapons of choice. It all seemed to fly over the heads of the collected Metric fans,...

LOLA Festival Day Two

in
By Zack Vitiello (CHARTattack) September 22, 2008 11:47 am
I woke up ready for day two of the LOLA Festival feeling rejuvenated in the way that only the Do Make Say Think show the night before was capable of producing, so I packed some snacks and headed back to Victoria Park. I arrived just as Feuermusik were beginning their set. The experimental jazz outfit from Toronto seemed to be the perfect...

Holy Fuck — LP

in
By Phil Villeneuve (CHARTattack) October 30, 2007 8:51 pm
Take five of the six tracks from Holy Fuck's self-titled EP, add on four heavy-hitting new ones, and you have a cohesive, grimy, fast-paced record that'll blow your mind. LP starts out in the smartest way possible, with a live track. The screaming electro-antics of "Super Inuit" demand attention and remind listeners what this ferocious...

Lightning Strikes Twice For Wolf Parade

in
By Noah Love (CHARTattack) August 27, 2007 1:00 pm
Exactly two weeks ago Saturday, a band made my head explode. It was an unusual experience because it was a group who I'd seen numerous times in the past, one who I hadn't exactly lost my passion for, but who I thought would never reach the sheer unmitigated highs they'd provided during my earliest viewings. But at the Wolfe Island Music Fest,...

Wolf Parade Continue Setting Hearts Alight

in
By Pras Rajagopalan (CHARTattack) August 8, 2006 4:30 pm
Early concerts often cause all kinds of confusion, as the standards of show etiquette are thrown into doubt by strange set times and venue restrictions. This show was no exception, with Frog Eyes putting on a half-hour set a mere 15 minutes after doors had opened at 6 p.m. The result was that many patrons, myself included, missed all or some...

Hometown: Toronto, ON Background/Composition: Electro-dance mayhem brought to you by a handful of indie boys and their funny toys. Grade: 86 Comment:I usually get pretty bored watching people hunched over machines on stage, but these guys were just overcome by their own energy — and it's infectious. Achievement of...

There are many ways to express how awesome this debut is, but honestly, there's no better way than "Holy fuck." You'll hear those two words shouted intermittently during the live show of this Brian Borcherdt-founded band and those same two words will run through your head non-stop when their debut kicks you in the ass with 50 minutes of...

No self-respecting fan of the internet should be ignorant of the LOLcats phenomenon. We're not even going to explain it here because to do so would just be insulting.Holy Fuck are clearly aware of its existence and how hilarious cats can be when you put them in funny, bizarre situations.

By CHARTattack Staff (CHARTattack) October 15, 2010 2:59 pm
If you love LOLcats (or just cats in general), chances are you're going to get a kick out of Holy Fuck's new video for "Red Lights."It features many kittehs playing bass, drums and a keyboard while another one is chased by an evil puppeh in a car. It's like kittehs inserted into an '80s action flick. Anthropomorphism never looked so good. In fact...
