Lake Cowichan’s, Dan Boeckner, Set To Play This Saturday On SNL.

Frontman of the band “Wolf Parade”, Dan Bocekner, is set to perform on this week’s episode of Saturday Night Live.

He is now a member of the band “Arcade Fire”. The band was a last-minute addition to the Coachella lineup that occurred on April 15th to April 24th. They were added to the lineup a day before the festival.

He, along with his band, are appearing on Saturday Night Live as a part of their current tour for their new album called “We”. The album was released today, May 6th, and already has a 96% like rate from Google users. 

The group is under the label called “Columbia Records”.

The band will perform here in Vancouver on November 25th of this year. They will perform at Rogers Arena, and pre-sale tickets were already available, however, the sales are currently blocked on Ticketmaster, with the next tickets now going on-sale on Tuesday, May 10th, at 10am PDT.

Bocekner is well known for forming and helping bands throughout his career. His first band that he formed was called “Uncle”, and then afterwards, he created a band called “God Shaped Vacuums”, which featured drummer Carey Mercer, who is currently playing in a band called “Frog Eyes”.

He later co-founded a band called “Atlas Strategic”, before moving to Montreal where he formed “Wolf Parade” with Spencer Krug, and then formed another band called “Handsome Furs” with his fiancée at the time, Alexei Perry.

Finally, he formed “Divine Fits” with Britt Daniel after “Handsome Furs” disbanded, and then debuted his final new band called “Operators”.

After all of the band forming, he decided to return back to “Wolf Parade” in 2016, but is now with “Arcade Fire”, like mentioned earlier.

Hoo-boy, that’s a lot of bands he has formed. I wouldn’t be surprised at this point if he was a part of a new band formation in the future!
