A small gathering at Factory grew increasingly larger and became more animated as Daniel Lee and April Aliermo of Hooded Fang treated Newfoundland to their frenetic sound collage duo, Phèdre.
 
Featuring disembodied, processed voices (Gordon Lightfoot) and recognizable stems (the Pharcyde) plus live raps and vocals, the set was dizzying and unsettling but also, it had a good beat and you could dance to it. The pair are underrated vocalists and lyricists and they pushed their chopped up rave-ready music to its outer limits.
