Southpacific (colloquially, "SoPac") is a Canadian post-rock/space rock band with prominent shoegaze leanings, originally based in Ottawa.
Southpacific's guitar-oriented music is generally psychedelic in nature and filled with reverb, yet at times contains sheets of noise and heavy drumming.
The music was highly recording studio-intensive, using many layers of guitar tracks and subtle samples to create a dense overall sound.
They performed at the 1999 Canadian Music Week Festival, and embarked on a cross-Canada tour with indie rockers Tristan Psionic and Crooked Fingers between April and May 2000.
[8] After disbanding in August 2000, Toelke focused on an experimental recording project entitled Frihavn, which created a demo CD.
