poison hands
First off, hopefully you made it down to 340 on Sunday for the Shearing Pinx homecoming show. It was a bit of a bummer that it got switched from all-ages to 19+, but the show was still rad. I can't remember the last time that many great local bands played in the same place on the same day. The usual suspects performed, so I'll save any sort of in depth recap. I do have to mention that V. Vecker's set was the highlight of the show for me. He played in the crowd with a pair of amps (that were set apart on either side of the stage), and Justin from Mutators joined him on drums. I liked his set at the Music Waste edition of Fake Jazz Wednesday, but, by comparison, that performance had nothing on this one.
Belated thanks go out to Anju (from i/i) for spearheading the whole event.
Riton is at Celebs tonight.
Leeroy Stagger is at the Railway tonight.
Colourbook and Cobras Cobras Cobras are at Hoko's tomorrow night.
The Bloody Beetroots are at Caprice with Paul Devro and Expendable Youth on July 17th.
Fake Jazz becomes Fake Sleep on July 16th for a night of drones.
Only July 30th, Kids These Days play their first show in recent memory at the Railway Club. It'll probably also be their last show. Rounding out the bill is Octoberman (and it might be their last Vancouver show for awhile) and International Falls.
Defektors play Better Than Nothing at the Astoria on July 26th.
Japandroids play BTN on August 2nd.
Basketball are at the Peanut Gallery on the same night.
The Faunts are at the Sweatshop with the Clips and the Whitsundays on August 1st.
And Calvin Harris is doing a DJ set at Celebs on August 31st.
