After more than a decade apart, Immaculate Machine will perform this week at the 11th annual Eventide Music Series in Centennial Square, held each Wednesday through July and August.
Admission: Free
The three friends from Vic High had their share of success as a unit, including four well-regarded albums and a spot as the opening act for Arcade Fire’s legendary performance in 2004 at Lucky Bar in Victoria. Everything appeared to be going well for the group — from a recording contract with Vancouver’s Mint Records, positive reviews in Pitchfork, and an impromptu recording session with Alex Kapranos of Franz Ferdinand — but long-term success was not to be.
Which explains why the members, now in their early 40s, were in rehearsals at Gallupe’s home on Monday, prepping for a comeback performance on Wednesday — their first show as Immaculate Machine in more than a decade. The band performed briefly on New Year’s Eve, at a house party among friends, but that is the only occasion since 2012 they have played together in any capacity.The group is trying to take things at a measured pace, as music is no longer the only thing on their plates.
The finer details have not yet been worked out, but the free show will includes songs from the trio’s four full-length albums, Transporter , Ones and Zeros , Immaculate Machine’s Fables , and High on Jackson Hill . “We’re going back into the catalogue, and picking ones that are favourites of ours, and also for people who might remember us. But we also want to go with songs that had a great live feel.
