BEEKEEPER is an indie post-pop power trio from Vancouver consisting of comedian Devon Lougheed, protein synthesist Luke Cyca, and opera singer Brandi Sidoryk. Their music blends together infectious hooks, stunning male/female harmonies, and unsettling math-rock dissonance. Their music and live shows are infused with good-natured twists, pranks, and hoaxes that keep listeners guessing. As they just returned from a Western Canada adventure to promote their new album “Shout at People” they haven’t stopped asking questions to fans via the social media sphere. As a way to engage the public, much like their shows, questions such as “What do you want your gravestone to say? Or “Do you have any regrets?” color their interactive wall space. SAD MAG decided to reverse the asking of questions, giving beekeeper ten lines to fill out, of which lead-singer Devon responded in the most serious way possible.

First show ever was The Philosopher Kings with my dad in Brantford, Ontario. The singer got multiple girls to throw their bras onstage. My dad’s mind was blown, and I knew what I needed to do with my life.

Best words from a stranger were “You can’t just shout at people”.

My love for Arby’s will never die. I’m the worst vegan ever… although, Arby’s is barely food, much less meat, right? Horsey sauce!

Favourite spot inside my mind is halfway between two coffees and two whiskies. It’s called “songwriting ultrazone”, and it is a good – albeit frightening – place to be. Wanna join me?

I feel great when ladies throw bras onstage. Ok, that’s never happened, and I’m not sure what I would do with them. Maybe I’d give them to Brandi, our bass player. I wonder what her bra size is…
Vancouver can be the really vibrant music scene that it is — we just need to let ourselves admit it. There are fantastic bands here, and some great venues (although we could use some more of those). Let’s be proud! We can be the new Montreal, come on folks.

Most people think that beekeeper is too hard or too soft, when really, we’re just right. And also those other things too.

I can only imagine that you’re reading this on your iPad in the bathroom.

My grandma was in the first graduating class of doctors at the University of Toronto to allow *gasp* WOMEN to graduate.

beekeeper better notice that you popped by http://buy.bkpr.ca/ to check out our new EP. Honestly, it is the most fun thing we’ve ever made, and we think you’ll really enjoy it.
