keither Posted July 8, 2003 Report Share Posted July 8, 2003 DISCOVER ENTERTAINMENT are very pleased & excited to inform you of a couple of great shows we have coming our way, along with some new developments taking place in our world. We'll start things off with the shows... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ATTENTION ALL LIVE MUSIC FANS!!! The recent surge of great musical groups pioneering sounds at the forefront of the live electronica movement including SOUND TRIBE SECTOR 9, THE NEW DEAL, & PARTICLE have another amazing band to join them in their quest to erase the lines seperating live & electronic music. Discover Entertainment are extremely happy to present show #1 in what is sure to be a long, healthy, & music filled relationship with Vancouver's underground sensations... INJECT Inject is Amrit Basi (electronic and acoustic drums), Jamie Lubiner (guitar, bass, guitar-to-midi conversion, and synths), and Peter 'Fish' Fisera (synths). Unlike much electronic dance music, Inject is 100% LIVE (no sequencing, no loops, no click tracks, no turntables) & highly improvised, covering many styles ranging from jazzbient and downtempo through tech-house, trance and breaks, and into drum&bass and jungle. Every gig is a different experience with the band drawing from the energies of their crowd and driving their sound to get you off your seat & onto your feet... moving your bodies to the rhythm & the beat. Friday July 11th Side Door Cabaret 2291 West Broadway (@ Vine St.) ONLY $5.00!!! **show starts at 10:00 pm** check out the amazing sounds for yourself at http://www.inject.org ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Next week, we're extremely happy to once again welcome out one of Eastern Canada's best groove representatives when we present Montreal's... HIWAY FREEKER Serena Southam - Vocals Paul Malin - Guitar Mike Felber - Bass Mark Hoeppner - Keys Shaun Bronstein - Drums With their soulful female vocals, beautiful songwriting, & high energy live performances, Hiway Freeker are sure to satisfy listeners of all shapes & ages. Originally formed in New York City in the Spring of 2001, the Freeker moved North to Montreal in April 2002 and have spent much of the last year touring extensively & playing such established venues as NYC's Knitting Factory and The Rivoli in Toronto (as well as everywhere in between). This relentless touring has earned them a reputation as one of the best new bands to roll into the Canadian scene. Their debut CD 'shark' is compiled entirely of originals written by guitarist Paul Malin, bassist Michael Felber, and songsmith Jared Shore. This variety in songwriters provides the band with the opportunity to push stylistic boundaries, as is certainly exemplified on 'shark'. Thriving on live performance, Hiway Freeker guarantee a hearty 2-set show full of different musical stylings including country-pop, funky R&B, experimental improvisations, & straight-up blues... really anything goes. Be sure to catch the Freeker as they bring their infectious blend of grooves through Vancouver next week. Thursday July 17th The Fairview Pub 898 West Broadway $7.00 @ the door **show starts at 10:00 pm** Check out more from Hiway Freeker at http://www.hiwayfreeker.com plus some of the amazing press they've received at http://www.jambands.com/NewGroove/content_2003_04_25.00.phtml ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ And now last, but most certainly not least... We here at Discover Entertainment have spent the last year attempting to build a healthy 'groove' music scene here in Vancouver that was strong, lasting, of the highest quality, and CONSISTENT. We had originally set up residencies in a couple of Vancouver's live venues (Green Room, Fairview, Waldorf, Side Door) as well as throwing the odd presentation into other local venues (Arts Club). Recently... Discover was offered, and accepted, the full-time duties of taking on the Entertainment Management position at the Side Door Cabaret in Kitsilano. We felt that accepting the offer was in our best interests as it would give us an exclusive canvas on which to begin painting our masterpiece. The room has given us complete autonomy on decisions of entertainment, and we have already instituted the initial steps towards completely changing the format & identity of this room (and eventually the NAME!!). We are currently implementing the initial changes we felt were necessary to change many of the people of Vancouver's attitudes towards "The Side Door". We are also working on a number of ideas & future plans that will be geared towards changing this room into Vancouver's first & only 'New Groove' venue 7 days a week. We hope that the changes we make will meet with the approval of Vancouver's growing community of musicians & live music supporters... and we hope that we're successful in creating a room that everyone will be happy to call their 'home base'. here is a look at the immediate changes that we have already instituted into the room format. Expect even more radical change to take place over the next few months as we look to secure our position in this marketplace and move forward towards operating Vancouver's most enjoyable live room.
