Immaculate Machine is an indie-rock band, that includes members of the New Pornographers and 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.

Joining Immaculate Machine on the 20th are Introverter and Versa. All three bands represent
the cutting edge of indie-rock on the Westcoast.
