Christian Hansen & the Autistics were formed in the Fall of 2007 in Edmonton Alberta Canada. After playing many local shows, doing a Canadian tour, rocking the CBC and playing New Music West, they wanted to dance. So, they destroyed their acoustic guitars and drum kits, did the Wild Rose cleanse, watched the Breakfast Club and wrote a bunch of new songs designed to make people move. Quickly gaining a reputation as one of Edmonton's best live acts (all 4 members have Performing Arts degrees), Christian Hansen & the Autistics put on a show that entertains and inspires, appealing to both the Richard Simmons and Jello Biafra in everyone. They were showcased at the SLED ISLAND music festival, rocking with such excellent acts as Andrew WK, The Breeders, Japanther and Wood Pigeon .

Christian Hansen & the Autistics were named "Band of the Month" by Edmonton's Sonic 102.9 FM, had 2008’s “Song of the Year” (Edmonton Journal) for Cocaine Trade and were nominated for “Best New Artist” at the 2009 Verge XM awards. Their songs Cocaine Trade and Pump it are played on Sonic 102.9 FM and CityTV will air ‘The Making Of: Cocaine Trade Music Video” in October 2009.

Upcoming Show:

June 2 @ the Artery with Doug Hoyer & Liam Trimble. $10 in advance,

E-TICKETS available starts @ 8pm.

*We featured Christian's song Jessica.
