Vancouver Live

[SaggyBalls]

Some news about Vancouver's RedEye

"They have scored an opening slot for G Love and Special Sauce for 19 dates all through the US and A. Gabe (from Redeye) has known G Love for a little while and worked some magic to make it happen"

So there's some great news for some Local Boys!!!

What else is happening for Vancouver music?

Who else are some real contenders?

Hey Ocean?

Sekoya/1LUV?

Motion Soundtrack?

Kinnie Starr?

Zubot and Dawson?

Fond of Tigers?

Baked Potato?

Mother?

Five Alarm Funk?

Threat from Outer Space?

Green Room?

FreeFlow?

Jackfruit?

Parlour Steps?

Go Ghetto Tiger?

I'm sure I'm missing a lot of great Vancouver acts.

This town is full of great players trying to keep busy and I hope that if you'll add to this list.

Okay...so here are some more.

It's definitely more 'indie' as I got this from Stillepost but at least they're doin' it.

Some of these bands are fucking awesome.

You Say Party, We Say Die! are super energetic and Geoff Berner is a bit shocking (and a great accordion player). Check it out.
