Instead of having one lead vocalist, Brian King and David Prowse of Japandroids “decided to forego the logistical nightmare of having a ‘lead singer’ and do it themselves,” according to their official website.

In addition to singing, King plays guitar with Prowse on drums.

They call themselves “a two piece band trying to sound like it’s a five piece band.”

The garage rock duo from Vancouver has released three albums, “Post-Nothing” in 2009, “No Singles” in 2010 and most recently, “Celebration Rock” in 2012. The yell-sing vocals of Japandroids do, in fact, sound like a garage band, but their intelligent and poetic lyrics say otherwise.

Earlier this year, the band performed on “Late Night with Jimmy Fallon” and the New York Times described Japandroids as having the “most exuberant, affirming live show” of recent two-member bands. Critics have compared their sound to artists from Titus Andronicus to Bruce Springsteen.

Japandroids are set to play at 4:20 p.m. Nov. 4 on the Black Stage.
