There isn’t a single bad spot in the room when Les Savy Fav is performing. Wish you were closer to singer Tim Harrington’s antics? Not to worry — he’s on his way up the stairs to the balcony, and he’d like you to help him hang off of it.

At the Rickshaw Theatre in the middle of Vancouver's notorious Downtown Eastside a bra beer and belt all went sailing towards the Les Savy Fav singer's glistening bouncing belly.

They might not share the headliner's carnivalesque spirit but Cloud Nothings knock out their art-punk power-pop with comparable energy.

From KISS to GWAR some bands just don’t let their music speak for itself rather they create (or enhance) the experience through a gimmick an act or in the case of Les Savy Fav‘s Tim Harrington total insanity.

Sure ABC2 is an unlikely venue for this premiere of Warp Films' All Tomorrow's Parties picture but it is a great place to witness the engrossing collision of art-rock and post-hardcore thrown crowd-wards by New York's brilliant Les Savy Fav.

When the band plays a show they bring not only music but also a stage show and more excitement than necessary.
