"Don’t be the least bit surprised if Immaculate Machine’s members are in line for honorary doctorates in pop pharmacy." - TERMINAL CITY
Immaculate Machine is an indie-rock band that lives on an island. In order to be able to travel freely to and from their geographically isolated homeland, they make rock albums. The newest of these is "High On Jackson Hill". Recorded in the comfort of frontman Brooke Gallupe's childhood home by producer Colin Stewart (Black Mountain), the latest offering is their most spontaneous sounding yet.
2007's "Fables" garnered praise in the international press and from fans during tours of Canada, the United States and Europe. Lead single "Jarhand" was downloaded close to 300,000 times when it was chosen as the iTunes download of the week. High profile collaborations with John Collins (New Pornographers), Owen Pallett (Final Fantasy), Alex Kapranos (Franz Ferdinand) and The Cribs caught the attention of indie music fans.
Gallupe started Immaculate Machine with two high school friends from Victoria, BC. He, Kathryn Calder (New Pornographers) and Luke Kozlowski silk-screened t-shirts, released their music independently and booked themselves long tours in barren stretches of Canada. Vancouver, BC veteran indie label Mint Records was wowed by the band's tenacity after seeing them on the way back from six months of DIY touring.
Immaculate Machine released Ones and Zeros, its label debut, on Mint Records in September 2005 and set off immediately on a tour of N. America and Europe with Destroyer and The New Pornographers. Ones and Zeros was followed in October 2006 by an EP of French translations of songs from Ones and Zeros, translated by Gallupe himself, a graduate in French Literature. It was met with puzzled enthusiasm.
Great review of The Horseshoe set in Toronto's Now Magazine 'West Coast breezy and loose, the three-woman, two-man band played a career-spanning set. They give off great vibes and inventively use percussion and falsetto harmonies, and Gallupe’s quick-fingered solos, especially in Don’t Build The Bridge, prove he’s no guitar slouch'

hi guys we saw you at the dragon boat festival in Victoria when we were on holiday there in August. We really enjoyed your set! We see that you are playing the Fish Tank, Durham, on Friday, this is where we live. We played there in the summer and live about 20 miles away. BUT we are supporting Chris Helme at Shildon Civic hall on the same night, so we cannot make it. We couldnt stop talking about how good you guys were on the journey back to the UK and were hoping you would come to England so we could see you again and we find it so strange that you are playing the fishtank which is so close to us! hope you have a great night, and good luck with the tour Chris and Georgia xx
