leaky lifeboat
On Sunday, I checked out the second day of VFest, making it just in time to hear the last of Awesome Color's songs while waiting to get in.
Jarvis Cocker was the first act that I actually saw. Jarvis, who wasn't exactly dressed for the weather, was his usual charming self, pulling mostly from his latest disc.
Future of the Left, whose latest disc I quite like, were on the side stage after that, but I opted to move closer to the mainstage, since Sonic Youth were playing there right after.
SY, who had Mark Ibold (ex-Pavement) playing bass with them, pulled almost solely from the Eternal, throwing in a pair of tracks from Daydream Nation ("Cross the Breeze" and "Silver Rocket"). While the set displayed that the newer stuff holds up pretty well against older tracks live, I could have done with a little more variety... but beggars can't be choosers.
I bailed just as Metric were finishing off their set. I wasn't huge on their latest, but they've definitely still got live chops.
Thanks to the Clips for playing Damaged Goods on Friday. And sorry, once again, that the DJ started playing music accidentally before you guys were actually finished.
Cartographers, Streetlight, and Wilderness Years play Funky Winkerbean's tonight.
On August 1st, there's a benefit for Goonies (at Goonies, of course) that features Candles, Nihilist Party, Shipyards, Gross Xmas, and Half Chinese.
Also on August 1st, Quintron & Miss Pussycat play an early show at the Media club with thee Manipulators.
Little Mountain is showing the Speculative Frontier on August 6th, a night that also features music by Jeffrey Allport and Empress.
Sex with Strangers, Combine the Victorious, Accost, and the Keeper play the Rail on August 8th. The Skinny will be there to make you laugh as well.

The headliners were pretty great, and since I was sick when they came last with No Age, it was my first time seeing them, but they were shown up a little by White Lung, if you ask me.
The Audacity were sandwiched in between the two and played some fun, good enough, punk tunes. It's nothing that I'd go out of my way to see again, but it wasn't bad either.

The Clips haven't played in Vancouver since November of last year, so I'm really excited that they agreed to play Damaged Goods this coming Friday. If you've heard their record or seen them live, I probably don't need to say much more than that.

Does anyone know if Pterodactyl is still playing at Honey?
They're on the poster, but no longer on the Honey Lung Myspace or Facebook page and their MySpace says they're playing the ER... which is unlikely (though possible, if it's the old one).
Edit: they're playing

I was at the Biltmore last night to catch Mika Miko, making it down a little too late to see Nu Sensae, unfortunately (I was finishing a speech for a wedding this weekend).
