Theo Vandenhoff

Theo Vandenhoff, a Toronto-based act whose music draws on post-punk, plays a London concert at The Old Blue Last, a venue that hosts concerts and shows.

Theo Vandenhoff is a pop, rock and indie act based in Toronto, Canada, with a sound closer to post-punk: songs that are sullen yet danceable. Frontman and lyricist Theo Klaver writes under this name, and the band's line-up includes Callum Crombie on guitar and Tom Nixon on bass. Crombie and Nixon grew up in Northern England, while Klaver's European heritage informs the sardonic art pop side of the music, which blends nostalgic and contemporary elements in a goth-adjacent style.

The band handles every step from conception to completion itself, following a deliberately do-it-yourself approach. Their debut album, Saviour On The Spilled Blood, was released on Artoffact Records, the label that also issued the single Theo Vandenhoff put out earlier. A review of that single compared the band with Nick Cave, Tuxedomoon and Crime & The City Solution, and described the songs as shaped around the band's own sense of pressure and place.

The concert takes place at The Old Blue Last, a London venue that hosts concerts and shows, and suits listeners interested in post-punk and indie songs with strong storytelling and emotionally direct performances.
