Immaculate Machine

Kathryn Calder, Brooke Gallupe, and Luke Kozlowski

If you've heard of this Victoria, BC band, then you know Immaculate Machine member, Kathryn Calder, is Carl A.C. Newman's niece. Not that that means a helluva lot, except the reception at family weddings must have a great band.

Immaculate Machine are a trio that practice the beloved art of extremely catchy indie pop. In addition to Calder (vocals/ keyboards), the line-up includes Brooke Gallupe (vocals/guitar), and Luke Kozlowski (vocals/drums). Currently touring their latest release, Ones and Zeros, with Uncle Carl's New Pornographers (I haven't YET had the pleasure) but I'll bet the track, "Broken Ship" is a show stopper (at least an opening act show stopper).

From what I have heard, their new material is a definite step forward for the band with "Broken Ship" especially being favoured by Kathryn Calder's lead vocal. When she belts out the lines her vocals are very arresting and she puts a strong, piercing voice to good use in this song.
