Theo Vandenhoff

Theo Vandenhoff is a post-punk act from Toronto, Canada, performing at The Lanes in Bristol. The project pairs a pseudonymous outlet for lyricist Theo Klaver with a band sound shaped by two other members.

Theo Vandenhoff is based in Toronto and makes post-punk that is sombre yet danceable. The project serves as a pseudonymous outlet for frontman and lyricist Theo Klaver, while the sound is worked out with guitarist Callum Crombie and bassist Tom Nixon.

The music draws on a biting strand of European art pop linked to Klaver's background and on the metallic noise of Northern England, where Crombie and Nixon grew up. Blended together, these influences produce goth-adjacent music that feels both nostalgic and contemporary. The members handle every stage, from initial idea to finished recording, in a deliberately do-it-yourself way.

Their debut album, Saviour On The Spilled Blood, came out in 2026 on Artoffact Records. Its storytelling and emotionally direct performances aim past style towards something shared and human. The Lanes is a Bristol venue that hosts concerts and shows.
