presents MAD
SHADOW, MIDNIGHT LIGHTNING Hendrix
Tribute, The IRREVERENTS &
The AFTERTASTE @ PUB
340, Cambie Street / Tix available
directly via the bands or purchase
advance tickets online HERE!
MAD
SHADOW - Electric, charged
and explosive, Mad Shadow features
guitarist Danny Sveinson, who
many have exclaimed will be
one of the next great rock guitar
legends. Bringing the thunder
of heavy '70s rock into the
new millennium, Mad Shadow leave
crowds speechless with their
style, energy and obvious talent.
The combination of Danny's hook-laden
riffs, singer Erik Olufson's
charismatic, one-of-a-kind stage
presence and the fist-pounding
rhythms provided by bassist
Tyler Lindgrin and drummer Josh
McDonald never fail to leave
the crowd wanting more. The
depth of these rockers' ability
to break out, sending Danny
into blistering solos and jaw-dropping
jams of their best known songs,
is sure to drop you right in
the middle of the rock and roll
inferno that is Mad Shadow.

MIDNIGHT LIGHTNING Hendrix Tribute
- The pure musical genius of JIMI
HENDRIX made him one of the most influential
guitarists ever in modern music. Self-taught
and left-handed, he played with a
right-handed Fender Stratocaster turned
upside down and restrung, and his
use of the Strat's tremelo bar was
one of the signature elements of his
blues-influenced style of rock music.
He perfected the deliberate use of
distortion and feedback to complement
his natural virtuoso ability, all
the while exuding unequaled charisma,
raw talent, and creativity to deliver
some of the most revolutionary music
of the 20th Century. Be sure to come
out and take in the timeless music
of Jimi Hendrix this special evening,
as Midnight Lightning featuring MIKE
ZYKE Of The Unknown Soldiers
Doors Tribute, deliver their loving
tribute to the raucous and anthemic
Hendricx experience!
IRREVERENTS
- A lethal blend of contagious
power-pop rock exploding with thunder,
Irreverents' guitar, bass, and vocal
prowess combine into a juggernaut
that scored them a spot as a CFOX
Seeds finalist. Combining energized
power rock, hip hop influences and
funky rhythms with a punk feel and
maniacal urges, tha band has been
burning up the Vancouver scene and
has been favorably compared with System
of a Down, Rage Against the Machine,
Foo Fighters, Megadeth, Rush, and
Motley Crue. The band endeavors to
show their depth and strives to deliver
their unique lethal blend live!
The
AFTERTASTE - With a perfect
blend of savage guitars, melody, scathing
lyrics and fantastic 3-minute pop
arrangements, The Aftertaste are four
Vancouver musicians looking to leave
modern rock shirtless, penniless and
begging for more by the side of the
road. Acid-soaked blues and high octane
power pop are put through the grinder
and spat out as demented tales of
substance abuse, sexual deviancy and
love gone seriously wrong. Stories
of excess and schizophrenia somehow
become irresistible singalongs when
wrapped in the infectious riffs and
melodies spun out by the foursome.

The
SICKS - Voted Vancouver's
3rd Best Unsigned Band in
the 2009 Georgia Straight
Readers Choice Awards, The
Sicks' distinct, memorable
songs capture a simple, positive
sound that makes audiences
get up and move. Two guitarists
trade licks in a style reminiscent
of the Stones, and each song
is infused with Animal-worthy
drums and steady bass chops
that draw from reggae and
rock. With meaningful lyrics
that relate to everyday experiences
and soulful vocals that convey
raw power and energy, their
diverse backgrounds and influences
forge a rootsy pop sound that
can really be put in a class
by itself.
|

WALTZ
DARLING have entertained local
audiences for years with their crazy
musical journeys. Sustained by their
passion for all styles of music, their
Eastern European roots have always
been woven into their songs. Atila
is Hungarian while his cousin Robert
hails from just across the Serbian
border. Their disagreements are the
stuff of legend and high comedy. Rich's
background is Polish and German, while
Michael's grandparents were Russian
Jews who ran from pitchfork-wielding
neighbors.
LIMO WRECK - This classy
crew delivers crushing cover songs
from bands you normally wouldn't hear
replicated. Prepare to be moved by
this high energy, versatile group
that will take you through an array
of great music including Rage Against
the Machine, Soundgarden, Tool, Foo
Fighters, Alice in Chains, Guns 'n
Roses, Stone Temple Pilots, Red Hot
Chili Peppers and more. Don’t miss
this ultimate party band!

MATTHEW
MEI WITH YOU BRIGHT MINDS -
Having traveled the world as the son

introduction to the world of music
was his dads classical, old blues
and folk records, but it was his struggles
in life and his soulful growth that
fueled his desire to write emotional
and heartfelt songs. Matt teamed up
with Jonathan Anderson (Jonathan Inc.)

thoughtful album that showcased some
of his favorite songs he had written
over the years.

MYSTERY POINT, BULLETS OVER BEAUTY,
The SAINTS COLLAPSE & TIMOTHY
@
The Railway Club, 579 Dunsmuir . Doors
8pm / Cover $10 @ the door
MYSTERY
POINT is a four-piece rock
band from White Rock, originally known
as Long Story Short. With a mix of
alternative, punk, pop, jazz, ska
and acoustic, their versatile sound
directly reflects their expansive
scope of influences. Mystery Point
transcends the limits of conventional
music, mixing bits and pieces from
their diverse backgrounds while offering
their own unique sound that anyone
can appreciate.
BULLETS
OVER BEAUTY -
This powerhouse dark alt-rock combo
is a combustible combination of modern
rhythm-driven blues and rock influences.
Formed as a means to fill a void by
members of Painted Self, A Murder
of Crows, CrankRiot and An Oracle,
Bullets Over Beauty have continued
into an obsession of musical camaraderie.
Bringing emotive vocal stylings together
with a powerful dual guitar assault
to create a uniquely memorable musical
experience, they will soothe you with
angelic melodies before punishing
you with malicious musical persistence.
The
SAINTS COLLAPSE -
Originally writing and performing
under the name This Week In History,
this Vancouver-based rock outfit re-emerged
as The Saints Collapse with a dark,
film-inspired, genre-hopping EP, "The
Seven Days of Fire". From guitarist
Colin Pattullo's origins in shred-driven
guitar rock to vocalist Jesse Castillo's
pre-occupation with video game soundtracks
and horror film scores, the band's
chaotic range of influences is well
represented as a euphonious whole.
Offering material that strikes as
eerily familiar while maintaining
a unique sense of perspective, The
Saints Collapse have delivered a rock
record uninhibited by preconceived
ideas of what rock music is supposed
to be.
TIMOTHY
are
four gentlemen from Coquitlam, a mountainous
region favoured dearly by the clouds
and dead to the sun, yet by all accounts
unspurious in its claim to beauty.
Being reared in such conditions they
are given to both cheerfulness and
melancholy, the latter overcome by
the former, incandescing into the
evening in a movement of sound mighty
as an unbridled storm, watering the
thirsting gardens of the human heart.
For those of you in a semi-conscious
slumber, allow us to introduce ourselves.

TROPHY
WIFE put
the mental back in instrumental, combining
blistering riffs, funky bass and rhythmic
beats into an intensely contagious
blend that has hooked fans at venues

pin down their mix of rock, funk,
metal and blues, but they've steadily
made believers out of legions of people

CRIMSON
ROOTS -
This is the dawning of a great age,
one where man and metal can live as
one with rock as their foundation.
Deep in this time was birthed a band.
In the dying moments of '07, a young
man entered a basement lair that would
make the average man tremble. Hit
by the soulful cry of a gleaming,
radiant guitar and taken over by a
driving, powerful beat, he plugged
in his bass guitar with pure euphoria
and screamed with all the love and
hate within him. As the three warriors
pillaged the vaults of creativity
within their minds, their intensely
passionate musical voyage spawned
a heavy, groove-rockin trio that has
exploded onto the Vancouver scene
with an unquenchable thirst!
HUGENELK
play
riffs and drums and put words over
it too - it's crazy!
RORSCHACH

DESERT RADIO @ The Railway
Club, 579 Dunsmuir . Doors 8pm / Cover
$10 @ the door
The
MATINÉE is emerging as one
of the West Coast's premier independent
bands. Blending a passion for fine
ale and finely crafted tunes, they
offer a unique spin on a roots rock
sound that is quickly attracting both
national and international audiences.
Writing songs that paint pictures
of empty bottles and broken hearts,
broken bottles and empty hearts, their
collection of songs vividly comes
to life. As they continue with their
hard-nosed, DIY, blue collar work
ethic, there is little doubt that
this show is worth the price of admission.
The
GASTOWN ROYALS - Some of Vancouver's
hardest working & partying Bourbon
Pub staff deliver straight up contagious
alt-country with sweet ass vocals,
mouth harp, banjo, ukulele, guitars
and percussion. Some of the band's
many interests and influences include
whittling, spittoons, rocking chairs,
straw hats, horse drawn carriages,
Clint Eastwood, scrappin'n'cussin,
cornbread, neckin' (with their best
gals of course), barroom brawling,
homemade jam, bathtub gin and everything
olde timey!
DESERT
RADIO's original combination
of Americana, Classic & Southern Rock
is the soundtrack of a road trip to
Juarez in a '68 Dodge where Merle
Haggard, The Who and Elvis Costello
all play on the mix tape stuck in
the dashboard deck. A few years ago,
old friends were looking for an excuse
to hang out, drink lots of beer and
write some great, country-flavoured
rock 'n' roll, and one thing led to
another and they soon found themselves
playing shows and recording tracks.
"February Day" (from their recently
released debut album) became the number
one ranked Americana genre song in
the history of garageband.com, leading
to features on Budweiser.com as well
as NASCAR's use of the track in a
Speed Channel video tribute to Dale
Earnhardt Sr. that was broadcast throughout
North America.
