We've featured him before in the Interrobang last fall. His CD case (which he designed) for his album Windows and Doors folds out into a 3D house (yeah...YEAH). For his single, Fix, his video consists of about 2,022 still photographs and over 600 bandaids.
Frankly, he's almost TOO creative - we're kidding. He's a cool dude.
We recently spoke with him while he was at Canadian Music Week in T.O. during his cross-Canada tour.
This time around with touring, he's been pleased with the results.
"I've quadrupled my audience at every venue so far...There's growth and I'm really excited about that. There are lots of people talking about the video."
(See the video craziness below - MuchMusic's picked it up)
For those interested in seeing De Roover live - you can expect a high energy, one-man show.
"I like to make sure people at the show are having as good a time as I am," he said.
"(There will be) new songs and new takes on old songs."
Since it's just him playing rather than a full band, it's also pretty exciting to watch him construct his songs solo.
"You're literally watching me build the songs from scratch," he said.
De Roover will be playing at the East Village Arts Co-Op at 757 Dundas St. It's actually a singer-songwriter night as well so sign-up if you'd like!
