Rio Bent is a Vancouver band. I've seen them before a little while ago and they were pretty good, a kind of punk and rocka-horrorbilly group. I think they did a thank at New Music Waste.

Sat., June 30, 2007. SWAYZAK @ Lotus Sound Lounge (455 Abbott St. @ Pender). 11:00PM, Tix. $18.
I can't say enough about Swayzak, they are simply one of my favorite atmospheric electro groups. They have incredible skill to offer. I've listened to these guys for years, and encourage anyone who loves music to give their last three albums a hear, they are incredible. I will send you a copy of their work to help out, if you're too cheap! In short, see this show!
