DOOMSQUAD's Personal and Political Outsider Dancefloor Jams

Soundcheck | Aug 5, 2019

Toronto electro-psych dance-rock sibling trio DOOMSQUAD brings a mix of protest music, catharsis, and groove, plus banging flute solos to their outsider electronica. They’ve written songs about the anarchist and activist Emma Goldman along with New York drag queen Dorian Corey as well as modern societal struggles and eco-crises. Trevor, Jaclyn and Allie Blumas cite as inspirations their tour-mates Tanya Tagaq and Peaches, along with Underworld,  Peter Gabriel, Diamanda Galás, and Genesis P-Orridge. DOOMSQUAD joins us to make some of this art-dance music in-studio.
