(2003 – present)

Wolf Parade is an indie rock band from Victoria, British Columbia, now based in Montreal,QC. Wolf Parade was formed when Spencer Krug (also Sunset Rubdown, Frog Eyes and Swan Lake) was offered a gig supporting Arcade Fire. He called Dan Boeckner (formerly of notable B.C. band Atlas Strategic, now also part of Handsome Furs) and they wrote songs with a drum machine before calling Arlen Thompson to play drums. Hadji Bakara joined in 2004. Dante DeCaro (formerly of Hot Hot Heat and currently of Johnny and the Moon) joined in Summer 2005 as second guitarist and percussionist.

Wolf Parade released their eponymous debut EP in 2003 with only Spencer, Dan and Arlen performing on it. After Hadji joined the group, they released another independent, self-titled EP in 2004. They were signed to sub pop by Isaac Brock of Modest Mouse and released their first widely-distributed record, Wolf Parade EP. In September 2005 their debut album Apologies to the Queen Mary was released.

Apologies to the Queen Mary was given this name because, as in rock and roll tradition, Wolf Parade trashed the Queen Mary hotel. It was said that they trashed the hotel worse than any band before them.

Their second album, At Mount Zoomer, was released June 17, 2008.

That's Spencer Krug. I don't think he sounds like Bowie at all though. Other lead singer is Dan Boeckner.

Yeah, I mean, I haven't really listened enough to know that. ONE of the lead singers sounds like he is trying too hard to sound like Bowie.

ok themard. i agree with you, those comments were bullshit. but i will say, loveth90s listens to some good music...ben folds, radiohead, cake...however, i think both of you should give wolf parade and bands like arcade fire and modest mouse a chance.

Sooo, I just noticed on my top 15 played albums I knew something was missing.... "At Mount Zoomer" I prob got like 500+ plays from that album... And I was wondering why it wasn't on the top 15.... its because Last.Fm doesn't say it exists.... Anyone know how to fix this? Make the At Mount Zoomer Album!!!

wow, this is like the only band I've seen who's latest album isn't played more than their debut. And mount zoomer is really good too. I guess people weren't into them buckleing down and making a more mature album.
