The Clips (NOT to be confused with the Virginia-based hip hop duo Clipse) are a Vancouver fivesome that I accidentally happened upon at last year’s Pop Montreal several slots before Woodhands was set to perform in the seedy basement of a Portuguese community centre. I’m thrilled that I made the decision to show up early, because The Clips, fronted by regally-named supercutie Edo Van Breemen (pictured above, in blue) dominated the stage and injected some much-needed energy into the evening, getting the crowd sufficiently pumped for the performances still to come. (

The keyboard-heavy group’s new video Space Kidz (from 2008’s Matterhorn) is a catchy builder of a song that starts off sounding like an homage to Iggy Pop & The Stooges’ I Wanna Be Your Dog (sidenote: H&M now sells Iggy Pop t-shirts…wow. I wonder how Iggy feels about that?)and really gets going at the 2:47 mark. It’s a dark, Blair Witch-inspired video that takes place in a limited-visibility forest, cut with a slowed down rendering of a performance. It’s a great song - have a look at the video below!
