by Jason Birchmeier Woodhands are an analog-fashioned electro-pop group with a penchant for tongue-in-cheek decadence. In addition to issuing studio recordings, the group tours and is known for its wild dance parties. The roots of Woodhands can be traced back to the basement of frontman Dan Werb's apartment in Montreal, where the group began as a recording project. Werb (vocals, synths, drum machines) has been joined off and on over the years by numerous musicians, most notably drummer Paul Banwatt. The group later relocated to Vancouver and Paris before settling in Toronto. Woodhands released their self-titled debut album on the Good Clams label in 2005, followed three years later by Heart Attack on Paper Bag Records.
