Duster at The Pearl in Vancouver – Gallery

On November 17, American indie rock band Duster performed at the Pearl in Vancouver, BC, with support from Dirty Art Club.

Supporting their latest album, In Dreams, which came out earlier this year, the band took the crowd on a journey through their expansive catalog. Kicking off with the iconic “The Twins / Romantica,” they flowed effortlessly into tracks like “Making Room,” “Chocolate and Mint,” and “Starting to Fall.”

The visuals were a perfect match for their sound. Lights in shades of red, green, blue, and white bathed the stage. The band members each had their own energy, jamming and moving across the stage, clearly feeling the music as much as the audience.

The crowd was a mix of longtime fans and younger ones, all swaying together in a shared appreciation for Duster’s unique sound. Their sombre, spacey melodies filled the room, creating an almost hypnotic atmosphere. Clay Parton and Canaan Dove Amber delivered every note with precision, and the result was something that felt intimate yet massive.

Duster reminded everyone why they’re still such a big deal in the slowcore scene. The show was chill, moving, and impossible to look away from—a perfect night for fans new and old.
