Biographies

Lum and Desranleau met in the underground noise music scene of Montreal, eventually forming their first band Electric End. They began making their hand-printed posters as a way to attract people to their shows, [2] but then eventually dropped out of art school in the early 2000s to make tour posters for six bands' entire tours, resulting in 25 to 45 posters for each band. [1] Both are graduates of Montreal's Concordia University. [1] The two are also members of noise rock quartet, AIDS Wolf, [5] which has since stopped playing shows. [2]
