we've been had
The Walkmen make their triumphant return to Vancouver on June 10th. They'll be playing a Richard's show that, awesomely, will be at a normal time (not one of those ridiculous early shows). Tix are $18, and on sale this Friday from all the usual finer independent record outlets. Why haven't these guys blown up (like, in an indie sense) yet?
The Diableros who are apparently the "next big thing" out of Toronto, are opening up the Stills show on the 26th of April. It's a New Music West affair, but is also a "premium" show, so don't go thinking you can use your wristband to waltz right in (although, if you're willing to lineup early, they usually let in at least a few wristbands). That being said, with the partial line up available already, here's hoping they announce some more bands, to make it worth picking up a wristband this year. You can stream the entire Diableros album from their website.
The Mountain Goats are at Richard's on June 8th. I just can't get into them, but I'm pretty sure I'm in the minority, on that one.
Wilco axe slinger, Nels Cline brings the Nels Cline Singers to Vancouver on June 23rd as part of the 2006 Vancouver International Jazz Fest. Venue TBA.
Finally, here's that Stanton Warriors track I was raving about on Friday.

The Diableros are awesome! Hints of Jesus and Mary Chain, Echo and The Bunnymen, and just the right amount of indie rock...and every song on their debut album is great. I recommend them highly.
