Because the Evaporators came to play, thats why, and they took no prisoners. Theyre an punk band from Vancouver, British Columbia, playing in a sort of updated, louder 77 punk style and theyre fronted by a guy named Nardwuar. Nardwuar, whose full title is Nardwuar the Human Serviette, is a guy whose fame rests largely on his kamikaze interviewing style; he works for the CBC, and he approaches both big-name celebrities and entry-level journeymen with a zeal that defies description. Like Howard Sterns Stuttering John without any of the ill will, Nardwuar asks celebrities really stupid questions, and the way his interviewees answer tends to reveal a lot about them. While hes undeniably obnoxious, hes also quite charming, and his craft, examined closely, is much more savant than idiot to the discerning eye. He is a Canadian national treasure, and at this years YoYo he did a very special thing. |
