This week’s Friday Night Lights on Live Jam brings you a true spectacle from the electrifying Art d’Ecco and his Demon Band—a performance that will leave you hooked, entertained, and absolutely mesmerized. Recorded live at The Pearl in Vancouver, this performance has all the elements of a glam-rock dream. It’s vibrant, theatrical, and undeniably electric—everything you could want in a live performance, but with a modern twist.
Presented as part of CBC Music’s Road to the Junos, this show kicks off the countdown to Canada’s most prestigious music awards, the JUNO Awards, which will take center stage on March 30, 2025. The special showcases Vancouver’s finest emerging talent, and Art d’Ecco, known for his mesmerizing stage presence and genre-blending music, is making his mark as one of the most exciting artists on the West Coast music scene today.
Glam-Rock Meets Psych-Pop: The Electric Energy of Art d’Ecco
Art d’Ecco’s sound is a wild, thrilling ride through glam-rock, post-punk, and psych-pop, but what truly sets him apart is his incredible commitment to showmanship. From the first note, The Pearl became more than a venue; it became an altar to rock ‘n’ roll excess. With his androgynous flair and Bowie-esque charisma, Art transforms every moment into a grand performance. He doesn’t just play music—he embodies it, making every song feel like a part of a larger narrative.
And what a narrative it is! Art d’Ecco and His Demon Band don’t just play songs; they bring them to life with an unmatched intensity. Highlights from the set include tracks like “Only Ones,” “Midlife Crisis,” and “Desires,” each pulsating with a retro-futuristic energy that channels the very best of classic rock while carving out a space in the future. Swirling synths, sharp guitar riffs, and irresistible hooks fill the air, with Art leading the charge like a cosmic rock prophet.
The show is not just about the music, though—it’s about the experience. Every song is performed with a sense of devilish humor, cosmic swagger, and just the right touch of camp, creating an atmosphere that feels like a late-night rock sermon in the best possible way. Art prowls the stage with a confidence that screams Ziggy Stardust reincarnate in the heart of Vancouver.
