meggo Posted August 10, 2004 Report Share Posted August 10, 2004 or "drunken" as we called it in university, ahhh the young minds put to good work... duncan is a small town less than an hour up-island from victoria. their claim to fame is the copious amount of totem poles found there. neil plays on september 17th for some kind of protest... i think it may be logging. definitely jealous of anyone who can make it to this one!

snarfmaster C Posted August 10, 2004 Report Share Posted August 10, 2004 i heard the concert is to benefit a community-environmental group so they can afford to assess the impact of a local mill switching to burning tires for fuel. :: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhishyK Posted August 10, 2004 Report Share Posted August 10, 2004 Drunken Duncan, city of scrotums... Worst town on Van Isle by a country mile. Yuck! The big hockey stick IS pretty sweet, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimmyB Posted August 10, 2004 Report Share Posted August 10, 2004 All who know me know that Neil Young is my favorite. I'm still distraught that Farm Aid is in Washingtown state this year, breaking my skreak of six Farm Aids in a row. I made a post about this benefit a month or two ago. Randy Bachman a resident of the area has gotten Neil Young, the Barenaked Ladies and Bachman's son Tal to perform at this benefit. You couldn't get tickets via ticketmaster, and I'm sure the venue being so small, it's completely sold out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhishyK Posted August 10, 2004 Report Share Posted August 10, 2004 The Cambie in Victoria is the sketchiest lil' cowboy burger beer hellhole you've ever been to. My old jam band played there twice. We'd rip some blues in soundcheck and they'd all be whooping it up, but by the time our set came around they'd be watching all the hippies dancing like "WTF?"
