Flowmotion's live performances are renowned for stellar musicianship, contagious energy, packed dance floors and, courtesy of their two lead guitarists, smoking guitar riffs. Fronted by singer/songwriter Josh Clauson (electric guitar, vocals), with RL Heyer (electric and slide guitars, vocals), Sabu Miyata (bass), Scott Goodwin (drums, vocals) and Bob Rees (percussion, vibraphone), Flowmotion's expertly controlled grooves harness the power of their funky, percussion-driven rock and roll.Friday April 4The Fairview Pub898 West BroadwayDoors at 9:00 pm2 sets of music starting at 10:00 pmwww.flowmotion.netwww.myspace.com/flowmotionmusic----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------A tribute to the Grateful Dead with Victoria, BC'sCANADIAN BEAUTYIn 2004, a handful of experienced Victoria, BC musicians banded together to pay tribute to one of their (collectively) favourite bands, The Grateful Dead. What started out as a Summertime Jerry Garcia birthday celebration slowly expanded to a bi-annual event each New Year's for Vancouver Island's multitudes of overt and in-the-closet Deadheads. Many of the members started playing together years ago in various Western Canadian jam bands such as Lift, A Particular Wave, and Nonfiction. Since then they've all moved on to bigger things, and tighter bands. Our member's main projects include original local and international acts Elephant Island, Outlaw Social, Noises from the Toolshed, Toni Childs, and Jesse Farrell. I'm sure I'm missing some. While this project is an admitted side-project for all of us, we've devoted quite a bit of time to ensure that we don't disappoint any fans of the original songs. Many times we've taken the liberty to carefully re-arrange a song to something that suits our style a little better, and although we're covering THE original Jam Band, we try to focus on what makes some of these songs so great... the lyrics and the melody. There are always a few extended jams at a Canadian Beauty concert, but there are also many straight up, song-writer-style renditions of Deadheads' favourite tunes.Friday April 25The Fairview Pub898 West BroadwayDoors at 9:00 pm2 sets of music starting at 10:00 pmwww.canadianbeauty.orgwww.myspace.com/canadianbeauty----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------So there you have it... 3 great nights of music with 3 fantastic bands.See you on the dance floor!!!
