Artist Bio

Death From Above 1979 are a Toronto dance-punk duo built around Jesse F. Keeler’s distorted bass and Sebastien Grainger’s drums and vocals. Their 2004 debut You’re a Woman, I’m a Machine became a defining record of the era’s aggressive dance-rock revival. They first played Shaky in 2015, giving a twelve-year gap by 2027. Ticketing sources already show a substantial February–March 2027 U.S. and Canadian run, making them one of the strongest current routing profiles in Batch 10.
