Wunderbar (8120 101 Street)
Friday, Mar. 20 at 9:00 p.m.

There isn’t a lot of information about Dada Plan online. Their website, an artistic masterpiece, raises more questions about the band than it answers, and only two songs are released on Soundcloud. However, even without Facebook the Vancouver-based band has generated a lot of buzz. Supported by Edmonton’s own ambient Artisan Loyalist and the experimental “harp-hop” band Feverfew, it’s a night of untapped musical genres and the inevitable mind-expansion that comes from broadening your horizons.
