With a bass output usually reserved for dubstep shows and Honda Civics, the Edmonton electro sextet Shout Out Out Out Out pounded out a tight set at the Rickshaw Theatre with precision.
Touring behind their latest effort Reintegration Time, the inordinately personable Albertans returned triumphantly to Vancouver to a voracious crowd dedicated to dancing just as much as the T-shirted artists onstage.
Seemingly determined to master the timely high kick and to steal the dance-rock cowbell crown from the Rapture, Shout Out Out Out Out tore through the vast majority of their catalogue to the delight of a packed theatre. Their short career was duly represented, with old favorites, like “Nobody Calls Me Unless They Want Something,†and some promising new numbers, like the stellar “Bad Choices.â€
The heat was off in the Rickshaw, making sure the crowd and the band stayed bundled up in heavy coats, but by mid-way through the set, Shout Out Out Out Out made sure we all warmed up.
