The schedule for next week's Music Waste 2005 is up. Started in 1994 as a response to NewMusicWest (which is apparently back in April '06, and hopefull not as shitty as last year), Music Waste is a weekend long, multi-venue festival, showcasing some of Vancouver's best and brightest local indie talents. Unfortunately for me most of the bands I want to see are playing the same day as the ...and you will know us by the trail of dead/(International) Noise Conspiracy spectacular, but I think I might try to catch Ladyhawk, depending on when the show gets out.
And in the spirit of the festival, here are some local bands that may or may not be worth checking out and upcoming shows (in parenthesis):
Bakelite (May 20th @ the Lamplighter)
Bella (May 22nd @ Pub 340)
Black Mountain/Pink Mountaintops (September 5th @ Victory Square (as PM))
