The Evaporators is a Canadian garage rock band formed in 1986 in Vancouver, British Columbia. Vocalist/keyboardist Nardwuar,[2][3] its founding member, is also known for interviewing musicians and celebrities.

History

[edit]

As well as recording and performing as a separate group, The Evaporators often collaborate with other musicians, including Rodney Graham and Andrew W.K. John Collins is a member of the band The New Pornographers[4] and David Carswell is in The Smugglers.

The band members also perform as Thee Goblins and sometimes under other names. Lisa Marr,[5] formerly of Cub, was also formerly a member of The Evaporators.

By 2008, the band had released four albums.[6] The Evaporators were featured on a compilation album, Busy Doing Nothing, in 2013,[7] and in 2016 the band released an album Ogopogo Punk. Most of their releases have been available on compact disc, vinyl,[8] and 8-track.
