Pretty Lights and Dead Bob

Pretty Lights is a musical project by Derek Vincent Smith known for fusing electronic beats, poetic samples, and modular synthesizers. After a five-year hiatus, the project returned with improvisational audiovisual performances emphasizing live collaboration across mediums.

Dead Bob is a Canadian punk rock supergroup from British Columbia, led by John Wright, co-founder and drummer of the influential band NoMeansNo. Known for its restless rhythmic intelligence, dark humor, and genre-defying blend of punk, jazz, and post-hardcore, the project features collaborators like Ford Pier and Kristy Lee Audette. Their albums include "Life Like" (2023) and "Nothing Changes Everything" (2026), showcasing original material and reimagined NoMeansNo tracks.
