GODSPEED YOU! BLACK EMPEROR
Wednesday, February 28
Kingston Grand Theatre
8 pm
With ambient soundscapes, chaotic crescendos, and mainly instrumental songs, GY!BE are perhaps best known for their song ‘East Hastings’ which was the main song used in the 2002 film 28 Days Later. Through extensive touring, the band has gained a reputation for mesmerising live shows marked by orchestral dynamics, epic rock power and clunky, beautiful film loops. Godspeed includes experimental filmmaker Karl Lemieux, the band’s primary creator (and projectionist) of 16mm film footage and loops; an array of analog film projectors remains central to GY!BE’s live performances.
