MAD
SHADOW - Bringing the
thunder of heavy '70s rock into
a new era, Mad Shadow leaves
crowds speechless with their
style, energy and obvious talent.
The combination of guitar prodigy
Danny Sveinson's hook-laden
riffs with singer Erik Olufson's
charismatic, one-of-a-kind stage
presence never fails to leave
the crowd wanting more. Electric,
charged and explosive, their
jaw-dropping jams and blistering
solos are sure to drop you in
the middle of a rock and roll
inferno!
BLACK
SUGAR is a refreshingly
exciting band among the latest
crop of intelligent and imaginative
hard-rock hopefuls emerging
from Vancouver's bountiful music
scene. Powered by the winning
charisma and multi-octaved Cornellian
pipes of lead singer Rob Krys,
Black Sugar carves out a gripping
and unique blend of prog-fusion
chops and funk-tinged hard rock.

Soldiers, The Dead Cats and The Rebeat
Generation have united together to

first wave of roots and rhythm.
Standing on the shoulders
of roots & rhythm giants, Lock N'
Key heralds the music of Howling Wolf,
John Lee Hooker, Chuck Berry and Bo
Diddley, masters of rhythm who were
directly responsible for molding the
blueprint of the rock and pop music
we enjoy today.

moving their sound over to North America,
MudJack are a four-piece alternative
band that creates a savage, untamed
sound with a blues essence, tearing
time into torn space. Their songs

GRIZZ, The
MILK PIPES &
D.B.COOPER
@ The Media Club, 695 Cambie St .
Doors 8pm / Buy
advance tickets online here
The
MILK PIPES - Sounding like
a ’63 Impala comin’ sideways around
a corner on two wheels, The Milk Pipes
always drop the hammer on their original
tunes with a joyful and reckless abandon.
Tube amps and classic guitars slash
against the solid punch of a rhythm
section born to serve the song while
keys and ukes underpin the whole cacophony
with delicious counter melodies.
The
GRIZZ
sprang to life from the ashes of a
cancelled jam session of another Vancouver
band, The Sicks. With a penchant for
getting really high and embarking
on mind-expanding space jams, the
power trio has been hard at work writing
material, honing their sound and getting
ready to rock. They've also recently
made the decision to be really loud.
D.B. COOPER
- The members of D.B. Cooper have
played in such locally acclaimed bands
as Alma and The Sicks. Named after
a famous unidentified hijacker and
who leapt from a plane with a bag
of cash never to be seen again, they
have all had extensive experience
performing at home and in various
showers around the world.
