Theo Vandenhoff is an Exclaim! Top Pick

Everything is better now that Theo Vandenhoff has been chosen as an Exclaim! staff pick... or to put it more eloquently 'Alles Ist Besser'.

That's right, rubbing shoulders with the likes of Neil Young & Crazy Horse, The A's, Aquakultre, The Deslondes and Kali Malone, we're stoked that Theo Vandenhoff's latest single was picked out by Exclaim! writer Sydney Brasil who said —

"If saxophone solos keep popping up in '80s-inspired synthpop, we'll be better for it. "Alles Is Besser" swallows you in Theo Vandenhoff's embellished contradictions, with the lead synth hook shining over the track's darker elements. His striking baritenor vocals surprise, yet make perfect sense within his ode to the history of the European underground. As Vandenhoff toys with singing in German on the choruses, he reminds you not to bottle up your feelings — even if it makes for some great dance floor catharsis."

Toronto Music Scene Documentary - Screening and VIP Q&A!

Have you heard about No Tickets At The Door? It's the ultimate Toronto music scene documentary; a film by Danny Alexander that explores the ups and downs of musicians and the venues that serve them in our local community.

No Tickets At The Door features renowned underground rockers like Sook-Yin Lee, Dan Burke, Luna Li, Vypers and many more including our very own World News and Idious Carrie (of Kali Horse).

The documentary has been making waves since its premiere at Hot Docs cinema, and this Thursday 10th June 2021 at 7PM will be streamed online, co-presented by Wavelength Music Series and Exclaim! The screening will be followed by a Q&A panel featuring Idious Carrie.

No Tickets At The Door examines the importance of music communities in the modern age and what is at stake if a city is no longer hospitable towards them. It gives the audience a chance to meet the talented indie musicians, promoters and venues that are fighting to survive and persevere amid the ongoing lockdown and the overwhelming effects of gentrification.
