Moes Alley presents Canadian post-punk band ACTORS with special guests Holy Water and LEATHERS plus DJ Archive 65!Tuesday, May 13thDoors: 7pm / Show: 8pm$20 in advance / $25 day of the show21+ACTORSACTORS began by releasing a string of popular singles, starting with Post Traumatic Love in 2012 and building a dedicated fanbase while eschewing a debut album release for the bands first six years of existence. In 2018, the Jason Corbett-led foursome signed with Toronto-based Artoffact Records and released its long-awaited debut, It Will Come to You, quickly becoming one of the marquee acts on the label and following with their sophomore release Acts of Worship in 2021. In Late 2020, ACTORS announced a new single, Love U More, with Juno-Award winning director Peter Ricq contributing his talents to the accompanying video.Songs like Lappel du Vide, Slaves, Face Meets Glass, and Bury Me are bangers that glisten via Corbetts production job: infectious beats propelled by the warm layers of synth, bass, and drums contributed by the rest of the band. Corbett writes, produces, mixes, and masters all ACTORS music at his own Vancouver studio, Jacknife Sound and names David Bowie as a fundamental influence Bowies sense of confidence and creativity are in full effect on It Will Come to You. Much more than a retro act, this is music that stands all on its own, full of life and complete with unforgettable hooks. Perhaps best described as a post-post-punk band, ACTORS belongs in the mix alongside bands like The Soft Moon and Cold Cave. ACTORS have spent the last several years touring the USA, Canada, and Europe, while hitting many of the best-loved festivals, including Amphifest, Wave-Gotik-Treffen, Cold Waves, Substance, Death Disco, Verboden and many more.HOLY WATERHard-hitting electro house from Sacramento, CA.LEATHERSInside a neon-lit dreamscape, LEATHERS (aka Shannon Hemmett; Canadian musician, visual artist, and keyboardist of acclaimed Vancouver post punk band ACTORS) crafts songs with razor sharp style and substance.Although Hemmett was musical from an early age, she came to singing later in life after a career in the graphic arts. Her songs, mingled with her love of photography, the films of David Lynch, and the writings of J.G. Ballard; explore the disquieting uncertainty of modern life and the liminal spaces where our emotions reside.
