What began as a theme song for a haunted docu-series has morphed into a nostalgic ride through the sparkling touch of The Golden Age of Wrestling. Retro touches carry Boulanger's airy voice through a haze of Stranger Things. It's dark and uplifting all at once. Edging the entire time to break out into a banger. Both Boulanger and TGAOW's Cancade grew up on Vancouver Island, Canada but both moved to Vancouver. The two have a shared affinity for sparkles and darkness and infuse these two elements into the west coast music scene of Canada

Spirit Seekers (The Golden Age of Wrestling Remix)

Late Stage 12 Gauge

FashionTelevision (aka "FT") was something you flipped through when trying to find something else to watch, but sometimes it was sunday and there wasn't much else on and you'd already seen those episodes of The Littlest Hobo or Anne Of Green Gables... (i don't actually dream of Jeanne Beker)

I hope you save me
Cause I’m being pulled apart
We’re so abrasive
Knew that from the start
They all want you
social butterfly
Just come to me
Will you come to me

Could be your hero
If it wasn’t summertime
Just keep me waiting
Wondering to pass the time
You’re not the only one who’s been let down
Just come to me
Hope you come to me!

Baby, I’m out my mind and full of mistakes
Maybe I don’t, wanna wait for nothing to change
I’m out, my body can’t you tell by my face
But I won’t leave, for nothing if you make me stay

Oooooh!
I’m falling to pieces
Oooooooh!
I’m falling apart

And I don’t care
If you’re not alone
I need you more
Than just on my phone
And I think that
Something’s happening
I’m losing my mind
So just come to me

Baby, I’m out my mind and full of mistakes
Maybe I don’t, wanna wait for nothing to change
I’m out, my body can’t you tell by my face
But I won’t leave, for nothing if you make me stay

Baby, I’m out my mind and full of mistakes
Maybe I don’t, wanna wait for nothing  to change
I’m out, my body can’t you tell by my face
But I won’t leave, for nothing if you make me stay

Lately you’ve been missing
Now nobodies watching, cause you got all you wanted
I heard you took that nasty feeling
To that friend of yours

I don’t mean to air out your business
But it’s an easy out to call when you’re in pieces
Guess time will tell what we both needed

Did you think no one would ever notice
How you’re scared that you’ve got nothing to give
Don’t you wanna be somebody’s something
Instead of nothing

Who are you deceiving?
Play it so well, say you’re almost honest
You run away from what you need to
Does it ever get old?

If you dreamed a little better 
You could swim right up the river
It’s harder to consider
When you’ve lost your place forever

Did you think no one would ever notice
How you’re scared that you’ve got nothing to give
Don’t you wanna be somebody’s something
Instead of nothing

Stay away from me
Stay away from me
Stay away from me
Stay away from me

Somebody's Something

i play music + host and curate frequencies.

catch us every month

contact therealtedkennedy(-at-)gmail.com

i am an electronic music maker, musicologist, and ex-dj. unless it's plunderphonics pieces or remixes/mashups (usually in a lo-fi vaporwave drag style) the music is 100% me outside of samples from shows and movies or other media sources, occasionally Shelley or Loren will lend their vocals to my tracks. 

my work with Shelley & Loren is sometimes a hybrid of original music and AI, and not just auto-generated slop, we work a lot on the pieces regardless of whether AI was used or not. they are talented musicians in their own right, and sometimes the end results are magnificent, but we're always experimenting, and the results are sometimes rough... however, we do love damaged sounding recordings, record crackles, tape hiss, glitches, etc.

Elise Boulanger is a sweet darkness wrapped in orchestral instrumentation. Hailing from Vancouver, Canada, this operatically trained Orchestral-Pop artist completely captivates audiences with her haunting avalanche of a voice. This July she releases her first remix with The Golden Age of Wrestling (Jeff Cancade of DEVOURS). It recreates her self-produced track, “Spirit Seekers” into dewy glambience for our summer sensuality.

What began as a theme song for a haunted docu-series morphs into a nostalgic ride through the sparkling touch of TGAW. Retro synths carry Boulanger's airy voice through a haze of Stranger Things. It's dark and uplifting all at once while constantly edging to break out into a banger. Both artists grew up on the Island but now live in Vancouver which brought Boulanger to connect with Cancade. 

When not electrifying her sound, the bilingual Boulanger is advocating for the environment and creating cinematic dreamscapes atop strings, piano, drums and ukulele. Her angelic yet raw dramatic artistry is reminiscent of Kate Bush. She is both bold and beautiful. Boulanger has performed for some of Western Canada’s largest events including Canada Day Victoria and composes for film and TV.

“Spirit Seekers” (2024) showcases an electronic entrance for Boulanger. This composition is for the seven part docuseries Spirit Seekers that shares the rumoured ghost stories of locations around Vancouver Island. What’s more is Director and Medium Paula DeMontigny's special ability to sense and communicate with the Spirits who roamed the areas.
Performing for over 15 years, she began touring in 2021 to Western and Eastern Canada as well as Vancouver Island and the Kootenays as she continues to grow in the Canadian market. Boulanger is sonically reminiscent of Kate Bush with her angelic yet raw dramatic artistry and has been deemed as "definitely one to watch" by the Times Colonist. Her actions are bold and beautiful as she takes advantage of the stage to teach audiences how to adapt to climate change. 


She has played shows with Carmanah, Tanika Charles and Etienne Fletcher. Notable performances include Canada Day Victoria (2023), the Honda Celebration of Lights (2022) and numerous festivals, concert series and theatres including Jeux Franco-Canadiens du Nord et de l'Ouest (2023), Filberg Festival (2022), the Banff Gondola (2022), the Tidemark Theatre (2021,2023), Port Theatre (2021), Evergreen Cultural Centre (2023) and Orange Day in the Bay with Snaw-Naw-As First Nation (2022).
