Albums

Macho
  • Macho documents the group from its very beginnings with a number of its singles and some new and some not widely available tracks.[1]
  • Michael Douglas was the muse for Black Rain, one of 10 tracks on their latest collection, Macho. (Douglas also starred in a 1991 crime film of the same name.) "The movie's great and Michael Douglas is an icon," smiles Darren Veres. It's obviously a huge joke," adds Jered Stuffco.[2]
  • Recorded and mixed in Edmonton via computer—the disc required patience, humor and, above all, high-speed internet connections and trust. Some songs required two weeks of edits and dozens of e-mails between band mates.[2]

Mixtapes and Remixes
  • DVAS have released three Internet-only mixtapes, a slew of remixes, and the track "Inner Sanctum" featured on the 2009 France based blog turned label, Valerie: "Valerie And Friends" Compilation.

gollark: "Bees" means "bad", it's a trendy term now.
gollark: > bees?Yes, bees.
gollark: Calling people you're interacting with idiots (well, implying it) is fairly bees.
gollark: Full lockdowns are maybe not great, but charizard was advocating distancing + masks.
gollark: Apparently vaccine trials have a 1/3 success rate in general, which is pretty high, and there's relevant information from SARS to use, and tons of vaccine trials running, so I figure *some* should be available fairly soon.
