Formed in 1986, this Edmonton-based electric/electronic duo combined heavily processed acoustic and electric instruments with spoken word and field recordings of acoustic "world" instruments/singing samples. The result was pan-ethnic and somewhat experimental grooves, with tongues planted firmly in the cheek.

On 'Rhesus Pieces' and 'Evidence I Was Here' Guerilla Welfare extended the concepts explored in their eponymous debut to stronger beats and denser production, while incorporating guest vocalists (Patrick Higgins, Mandy Cousins, Denise Spitzer) to change up the sonic palette.
