Folk Festival Countdown: Chad Vangaalen

This guy might be the act I'm nost looking forward to seeing at the Folk Festival. Chad Vangaalen is a musician and visual artist who animates his own videos. His stuff is... well, maybe I should just show you. Note: this video for the song, "Molten Light", which is from the Polaris prize-winning album Soft Airplane (Flemish Records), has cartoon gore and nudity and violence and might be Not Safe For Work (NSFW). Depends on your job I guess. Anyway:





Chad Vangaalen plays the mainstage Saturday night at 7:00 and will play a couple of free shows on the weekend. He's also got a show of his art up at Neutral Ground gallery (on the Scarth mall) which will be worth checking out.
