Destroyer seduces the Crocodile

Dan Bejar has always been a source of musical mysticism for me. I adore the New Pornographers, have been through lengthy Destroyer-only phases and have grown to love Swan Lake. His odd, slightly nasally but illuminatingly piercing, voice is completely original to him and coupled with his evocative songwriting, comes close to perfection at times.

Tonight's Recommended Show: Destroyer at the Crocodile

The ever-prolific and oddly-voiced Dan Bejar will bring his Destroyer act to the new and improved Crocodile, Wednesday at 8pm. Tickets are only $12... a helluva deal!

Dan is a genius writer and has put his vocals to the test with nine, count them NINE, albums as Destroyer. He also formed supergroup Swan Lake with members from Frog Eyes and Wolf Parade, as well as his most infamous endeavour as co-songwriter for the New Pornographers.

Don't miss out on this rare chance to see Dan in all his glory. And come check out the awesome Croc!

Latest comment by: Joseph Riippi: "The new Destroyer is good. Not great, but good. If you liked Rubies you'll dig it. I got tired of Rubies, frankly. And Sera Cahoone is a goddess. This new record is a great step forward from the already excellent debut. "

Another band to check out: Hello, Blue Roses

I really enjoy the New Pornographers, but when I listen to them, I get the feeling that they don't have enough going on outside of the band.
