You've got a chance to see one of the more exciting live bands that's currently making noise. Live, Edmonton's Shout Out Out Out Out (that's four Outs for all of you playing at home) are the real deal. Their blazing electro antics are "more than meets the eye" (see: vocoder).

Now this is what a live band should be: two drummers, four bass players, two samplers and five synthesizers. Toronto's Shout Out Out Out Out are one of my very fav-fav-fav-favorite bands to see with a bunch of people who've never heard of them before. It's always amazing to watch a passive crowd perk up and congregate around the stage once these guys begin to play. They always just rock it.

Shout Out Out Out Out may have a long and redundant name, but don't judge a band by its moniker. These six dudes rock exciting and energetic electro pop. They channel all their vocals through a vocoder (I know, I know, but don't judge a band by this criteria either), which reaffirms that before anyone did anything, Cher and the Transformers did everything.

Shout Out Out Out Out have a S.O.O.O.O. hard to find record out called Not Saying, Just Saying, and they have a brand new full-length on the way! It's sure to be nice and bouncy, but not nearly as nice and bouncy as seeing them straight from the stage. If you want their electric essence, see them live first before listening to them on disc.
