an actor will seek revenge
To follow up the Anemones CD-R (available now at Red Cat and Zulu), 1777rex will issue the long lost album by Points Grey. The band, who only played a smattering of shows in 1999-2000 ("under the unfortunate moniker A.I.D.S."), features three names that are probably familiar to Vancouver music fans: Robert Dayton, Julian Lawrence (July 4th Toilet), and none other than Dan Bejar. Expected out at the end of July, 1777rex describes it as "2 guitars, 2 voices, and a Casio sampling keyboard."
Between Rubies, Swan Lake (Dan's collab with Spencer Krug and Casey Mercer), and this, it's a good year for Dan Bejar fans.
Next weekend is the 2006 Vancouver edition of Ladyfest. Running from the 23rd - 25th, the fest features book readings, film screenings, forums, workshops, and also a show on Saturday night. Better Friends Than Lovers, New Years Resolution, Bella, and Vancougar will rock Video-In, in the name of urban feminism.
Paul Devro gets some love from the Straight.
"If I could go back in time I'd go to the early to mid-1960s and play doo-wop, soul, and rock 'n' roll 45s to teenage girls in poodle skirts."
Minus the teenage girl part, that sounds like it would be a ridiculously awesome party.
