It's much more fun to participate in a Toronto dance party when you've just made friends with some rockin' MILFs. In fact, both Opopo and Stereo Image only held my attention span for so long and not once had me grooving. But when it came time for Shout Out Out Out Out to get on stage (with eight synth tables and two drum kits), Mary-Ann "...

Opopo

By Jen White (CHARTattack) April 29, 2008 4:37 pm
Toronto dance rock trio Opopo sound like the type of band you'd book for a big house party. Their self-titled EP flows seamlessly from one song to the next, never letting the beat stop. Opener "Clockstop" gets things moving, and the fun interplay of shouting vocals on "Dktrdktr" steps it up a notch, making you want to both...

Nitzer Ebb Show Creates Dancing Machines

in
By Aaron Brophy (CHARTattack) December 2, 2009 5:36 pm
Pioneering industrial dance group Nitzer Ebb's connection to Toronto runs deeper than you'd expect. The reformed Chelmsford, England band's music was the anchor for no less than a half dozen major alternative/electro club nights in this city about 15 years ago, and that scene's survivors — the hardy misfits who still wear black, or shave the...

All the cool kids in downtown Toronto are making crazy electro keyboard techno rock right now and blowing people's minds. We caught up with Bryan Sutherland, Craig Macgregor and Corey Poole, three culprits from the peculiarly named Opopo to get their take on the whole scenario. ChartAttack: I read that you heard the name Opopo in a dream, is that...

Opopo Need Support So Their Instruments Don't Get Rained On

By Evan Dickson (CHARTattack) May 6, 2008 7:00 pm
This interview began with an innocent question about the name Opopo, which was followed by a sprawling, seemingly improvised explanation that had three young men talking over each other about imperfect palindromes and binary number code. "This process," says vocalist/guitarist Bryan Sutherland, "usually writes a song for us....

in
By Ryan Kelpin (CHARTattack) April 10, 2008 4:30 pm
Call it death-disco, dance-punk, electronic or whatever, Opopo have one goal in mind: to get you on the dance floor. The Toronto trio have played with the Klaxons and made a name for themselves in the local club scene. Now they're set to release a six-song, self-titled EP through Urbnet on April 29. You can hear samples from it on Urbnet's...
