Career

Education and breakthrough

After graduating in 2006 from University of King's College, Dalhousie University with a BA(Hons) in Philosophy & Contemporary Studies, Aucoin recorded his first EP, Personal Publication, [4] using one microphone (a Behringer B-1) and playing over a dozen instruments.

Inspired by a Halifax Oxford Theatre midnight screening of The Wizard of Oz's audio swapped with Pink Floyd's The Dark Side of the Rainbow phenomenon, Aucoin recorded an EP, claiming it syncs with the Dr. Seuss’ 1966 film How the Grinch Stole Christmas! . [3] Aucoin put the video up on YouTube. It was taken down after receiving a cease and desist order from the Seuss Estate. [7]

Personal Publication EP (2007)

Aucoin's first show was on December 20, 2006, at Tribeca in Halifax and released Personal Publication EP in 2007/2008 managed by mixing record producer Joel Waddell.

[20] [21] Aucoin decided to go back to syncing the album with just one piece of media rather than the collage of public domain films for We're All Dying to Live and so Ephemeral plays as an alt soundtrack to the 1979 Will Vinton claymation movie The Little Prince .

Media reception

According to The Globe and Mail , "Aucoin's sweat-soaked shows are near legendary events of mosh-pit euphoria, surfboard situations and dancing underneath a multicoloured parachute". [13]

Aucoin might be best known for his live show in Canada. [53] [54] [24] It began with Aucoin playing like a silent film era pianist on the size of the stage with the focus being on the screen he was playing the music to accompany but then slowly morphed into a communal singalong dance-party with Aucoin frequently in the middle of the audience leading the choruses. [3]

The show has always involved a mixed media performance involving a collage of images which the show runs in sync to with everything from the films Aucoin composed the music to synchronize with to viral videos and memes to anything and everything as visual samples. [3] [55] These film clips include All Dogs Go to Heaven 2 , in which Aucoin features. Often times, the framing of a night at the movies is used with opening previews of the other bands on the bill to fake advertisements and a crowd singalong of all the major media companies’ fanfares mashed up together. Custom 3D glasses were distribute in 2009 for his sets which were partially 3D filmed. [56]

Aucoin has been known to make a personalized show for every performance given thousands of fans personalized intro credits in the opening credits of the show; messages usually revolve around topical humor or cultural references like "So and So doesn't settle for anything, except Catan". [24]

Aucoin has narration and other comedy elements added between songs to give time for costume changes and other props, including crowd surfing on a real surf board. [55] [57]

Another signature element has been the use of a multi-colored parachute which he throws over the audience and leads the singing dance party underneath. [58] [59] The shows have had heavy use of many other props, from water gun fights to balloon drops and usually a sea of confetti. [54] [16]

Group movement plays a large role, with Aucoin leading the audience through many interactive moments and large group coordination. [24] Aucoin plays either solo with samples or with a various configuration of backing band members from all over North America and Europe. [60] [61] Some configurations are drums, bass, synths, guitar, horns and back up singers to having larger bands with strings and choral groups. [61]

Reoccurring members include:

Satellite bandmates have included:

Aucoin had nearly 90 musicians join him for his album release for We're All Dying to Live at the Halifax Pop Explosion in 2011 at St. Matthew's Church. [11] Aucoin also was backed by Choir! Choir! Choir! at The Toronto Urban Roots Festival in 2015. [62]

Aucoin has been a promoter of the Gender Is Over! If You Want It trans-rights campaign. He has worn their tank top since 2017. [63] Aucoin also developed a performance character in 2019 for his first shows doing support for TWRP and, keeping with the sci-fi style of the band, Aucoin developed The Space Cowboy and would enter stage to the Steve Miller Band track The Joker and its line "some people call me the space cowboy". [64] Aucoin announced he would retire this version of the show at the end of 2025. [47]
