Friday Night Lights on Live Jam: Art d’Ecco and His Demon Band Burn Bright at The Pearl
Presented by CBC Music | Road to the Junos | March 2025
This week's Friday Night Lights on Live Jam dives into the electric spectacle of Art d’Ecco and his Demon Band, recorded live at The Pearl in Vancouver—a performance that can only be described as glam-rock theater with a pulse.
Part of CBC Music’s Road to the Junos, this fiery set celebrates the upcoming 2025 JUNO Awards, which will take center stage in Vancouver on March 30. The showcase highlights some of the West Coast’s most dynamic emerging artists, and Art d’Ecco stands out not just for his music, but for his full-on commitment to showmanship.
A Glammed-Out Rock Ritual
Art d’Ecco, known for his androgynous style and Bowie-esque flair, turns the stage into a neon-drenched altar of sound. From the first note, his Demon Band conjures up glam, post-punk, and psych-pop influences in a set that’s equal parts theatrical and raw.
Songs like “Only Ones”, “Midlife Crisis”, and “Desires” get the crowd moving with their retro-futurist energy, complete with swirling synths, sharp guitar work, and irresistible hooks. The performance is laced with devilish humor, cosmic swagger, and just enough camp to feel like a late-night rock ‘n’ roll sermon. Art prowls the stage with a confidence that suggests the ghost of Ziggy Stardust has been reborn in British Columbia.
A Pre-JUNO Celebration Done Right
As anticipation builds for Canada’s biggest night in music, Road to the Junos offers a brilliant platform for rising stars like Art d’Ecco to shine on a national stage. This isn’t just a warm-up act—it’s a declaration that Vancouver’s underground scene is very much above ground and ready for the spotlight.
