Immaculate Machine
Biography
Kathryn Calder (keyboard/vocals), Brooke Gallupe (guitar/vocals) and Luke Kozlowski (drums/vocals) began Immaculate Machine with two independent releases (The View EP 2003 and Transporter LP 2004) and a bunch of shows in Canada. The trio shared the stage with fellow Canadians The Arcade Fire and The Constantines before finding a label home with Mint Records.Immaculate Machine released its label debut on Mint in September 2005. Ones and Zeros received critical notice and made the band a hit on non-commercial radio stations and music TV in Canada. The album was supported with tours in Canada, the USA, and Europe, including a support tour for Destroyer and The New Pornographers. Incidentally, Carl Newman, frontman of The New Pornographers, is related to the band by more than just his labelmate status. He is also Kathryn's long lost uncle. Kathryn played piano and sang on The New Pornographers' album Twin Cinema, and has now taken on double duty becoming a full-time member of the band. (The New Pornographer's new album 'Challengers' out 21st August on Matador.)
October 2006 saw the release of an EP of French translations of a selection of the songs from Ones and Zeros, which was met with puzzled enthusiasm. Les Uns Mais Pas Les Autres delighted bilingual and francophone fans and media. Immaculate Machine can now surprise an audience by throwing in a French chorus or an entire verse to mix it up, a proven crowd pleaser with Parisians and Francophone Canadians.
