Photo Credit: RICK CHUNG Joining forces in 2009, Robbie Slade and Peter Ricq make up Humans. They compliment their unique electronic sound with live vocals and instruments, establishing a sonic atmosphere that is ripe for lovemaking, party rocking and/or both. After a hugely successful run at SXSW this year, the boys released their sophomore EP "Traps" to rave reviews. June 15 will mark the official release party and there's no better place to celebrate than at FIVESIXTY . With a more evolved production and musical vision, hearings TRAPS live is sure to blow [...]
Nothing makes me happier than some dope local hip-hop. So when this baby first appeared in my inbox I got me some internal musical butterflies. Ebenezer's rhyming is smooth and consistent, while beautifully blending together soft beats with mildly aggressive lyrics. And I'm also down for any video that includes two dime pieces wearing cut-off shorts, crop tops, and leather. Total win. If you're feeling this track too, come by FIVESIXTY next Wednesday, as Evil Ebenezer and a slew of other acts will be performing for the Friends with the Help Video release Party. [...]
Da weather has been totes horrible these past couple of days, so why not escape to a tropical destination in the basement of Vancouver's hottest club. This is what Jung Coconut is for and the second instalment of FIVESIXTY's biweekly eklektronik series is next Wednesday, June 13. With cover only 2 for $5 before 11:00pm, ($8 afterwards), killer tunes and $4 Singles, it's pretty much like Cancun for spring break. Featuring the daring acts of: Motions [...]
I never went to prom but I’m guessing I'll experience something close to that excitement come Thursday. Why you ask? Well that's when FIVESIXTY will be hosting a slew of bands that appreciate the importance of hormonal lusting and feel good music. Plus it's the debut performance of Bestie , which features WinnieCopper co-founder and child prodigy @tristanorchard . Also on the bill are Tough Lovers , who are coming off a recent sold-out show at the Astoria, and teen heartthrobs Oh No! Yoko . In addition we're bringing out Seattle band [...]
The Magician and the Gates of Love have an interesting back-story; so let me break it down for you. Langley native Nathan Moes is the Magician and after releasing his debut EP in the fall of 2008 he garnered a pretty impressive local following. But he’s recently teamed up with The Gates of Love, also hailing from the Langley area, to create a live act that is unlike anything you’ve ever seen before. Playing piano-driven pop songs reminiscent of the 1960’s, this musical collaboration creates a sonic atmosphere that will make you want to spoon [...]
I’ve said it once and I’ll say it again, Young Liars are Vancouver’s next big thing. And in terms of mainstream appeal, they possess everything needed to take their talent to screaming fans in Hong Kong. So I highly suggest jumping on this bandwagon before some MTV journalist is telling you how sick these dudes are three months from now. Their even playing at FIVESIXTY this Thursday and tickets are only $12.00, which is pretty damn reasonable considering you’ll be paying triple that when they’re selling out Rogers Arena. The show is also a breast cancer [...]
Although Abbotsford was once the murder capital of Canada, within its geographical confines rests a slew of up-and-coming musical talent. For example, over the past twelve months we’ve seen Oh No! Yoko rise from high school band class to the top of Winnie Cooper’s favorite albums of 2011. And I’m fairly certain that the Real Boys will be the next big thing to come out of the Fraser Valley. Real Boys are a rock-pop supergroup that features members from You Say Party! We Say Die!, On No! Yoko, and GSTS! Their self-titled debut EP was released in [...]
Tiger & Woods , consisting of Larry Tiger and David Woods, are a secretive musical duo that often hides behind a fierce looking leopard logo. They’ve recently garnered much attention for their funk infused disco, which has probably gotten them more ass than the real Tiger Woods circa 2010. Their latest release “Through the Green” got them an 8.2 on Pitchfork media, with the track “Gin Nation” even making it on the sites top 100 tracks of 2011 list, coming in at a solid 83. For the past few months, Tiger & Woods have been touring the world, selling [...]
Dem babes from Young Liars just can't be stopped. Not only did their Homesick Future EP bring thousands of music lovers to the dance floor but now they've released a video for "Colours" that is sure to make you contemplate wearing white after labour day. And if you're dying to see this dudes in concert, come by FIVESIXTY Live on Thursday, May 24, when Young Liars, along with a slew of other indie-rock bands, will be raising money for Breast Cancer by playing some killer jams.
