Wolf Parade is an indie rock band from Montreal, Quebec, and will be rocking out in Indianapolis at The Vogue on Tuesday, November 11th. Tickets are available at Indy CD & Vinyl, The Vogue box office, and online at www.ticketmaster.com.

Wolf Parade began when former Frog Eyes member Spencer Krug was offered a gig by Grenadine Records' Alex Megelas. With only a 3-week deadline to form a band, Krug contacted a fellow Canadian guitarist Dan Boeckner (formerly of British Columbia band Atlas Strategic) and began writing songs in Krug's apartment. Initially using a drum machine for their rhythm section played through computer speakers, Krug later invited Arlen Thompson to the lineup as the drummer; however, the newly formed trio rehearsed as a full band only the day before their first show. During the tour, Wolf Parade recorded and released their self-titled debut EP (referred to as the 4 Song EP) in 2003.

In 2004, Hadji Bakara joined Wolf Parade, contributing his synthesizer and sound manipulation skills to the lineup. Within the year, the band released its second independent, self-titled EP, commonly referred to as the 6 Song EP.

Dante DeCaro (formerly of Hot Hot Heat) joined in 2005 as a second guitarist and percussionist. Wolf Parade was signed to Sub Pop Records by Isaac Brock of Modest Mouse. On its new record label, the band released its first widely-distributed EP, Wolf Parade, in July 2005.

In September 2005, the band's debut album Apologies to the Queen Mary was released on Sub Pop Records to critical acclaim, earning a 2006 Polaris Music Prize nomination.

The second album, At Mount Zoomer, followed in June 2008.
