the unmagnificent lives of adults

It's cold and dark and damp in Vancouver, but we have good news! There are a few good seats still available for tonight's National show at The Orpheum. Last night's show was epic. We don't want to give away too much, but perhaps expect to be walked on and a sing-a-long. Get there early! You don't want to miss Wye Oak and Local Natives. Trust us.

Tonight - Tuneyards

Pitchfork: "Back in 1983 Sonic Youth's Kim Gordon wrote an essay for Art Forum that suggested that when we go to rock performances, we pay to see other people believe in themselves. A lot of what makes w h o k i l l and tUnE-yArDs' excellent live performances so compelling is the degree to which Garbus commits to her ideas and displays a total conviction in her personal, idiosyncratic, high-stakes music. This, in and of itself, is very inspiring and empowering. This unguarded, individualistic expression encourages strong identification in listeners, so don't be surprised if this record earns Garbus a very earnest and intense cult following."

Agreed.

party hard

We can't wait to party with Andrew W.K. when he brings his notorious live show and stage antics to The Rickshaw on Nov 26

Aleister X, Keep Tidy, and Oh No! Yoko will get the party started. See you there!
