So, post below mentioned a charity event hosted by a bunch of Metalheads, and here's the show review post! I'm not late in posting it, it was posted up on North by East West following the show, I just forgot to post it up here!! Riffs Not Riots: VANCOUVER: On Wednesday evening, a bunch of [...]
The Riffs Not Riots show was an effort by the Vancouver Metal Community to showcase local talent while emphasizing that while we love our violent music, we don?t condone violence in our streets. The show was a way of protesting against the riot that devastated Vancouver shortly after the Canucks? loss against the Boston Bruins in game 7 of the Stan...

This Summer Oh! Canada is once again hitting the road across Canada, and will be reporting back on the shows and artists it meets along the way. The first stop on our road trip is Vancouver, a city which happens to be celebrating it's 125th Anniversary. As such, there are plenty of events going on, many of them free, and all of them showcasing the prodigious talents the city has to offer. On arrival, we got word that former Ho! Ho! Ho! Canada featured artist T. Nile was playing a free lunchtime show outside the offices [...]

ALL proceeds from this event will be donated to the Canucks Place Children's Hospice, and this event is to honour the brave citizens, who stood up for of our great city, during the embarassing Vancouver Riots. Tickets are $15 (extra donations are greatly accepted) at the [...]
Get ready to dub Hardly Art label of the year. They've already given us plenty to enjoy, and the second half of 2011 promises to be just as stunning. Take their latest signing as an example. The band is Shimmering Stars , originally out of Vancouver B.C. Filled with a dark, thick reverb and super catchy dream pop, Shimmering Stars' first single "I'm Gonna Try" hints of the pop music of the early 60s, thrust forward to clash with the lo-fi pop [...]

What music do you suggest Trevor listens to that will inspire endurance during his 21-24 hour non-stop 61,000 ft climb? (enter your suggestions the comments below) P.S. That is over twice as high as a passenger jet flies. Thank You Paul J Cody Producer, " Take The Stairs " [...]

* photographed by Chelsea Chernobyl The duo that make up the ghostly, psychedelic, electro pop/rock group, Phantogram, along with their tour drummer, finished off the last leg of their first full Canadian tour last night with a punchy yet intimate performance at Venue, in Vancouver, BC. For people who admittedly sleep in a tour van and eat canned sardines, it was impressive. Sometime in the middle of the show, guitarist Josh reached down to grab a female fan's hand and have a few brief words with her as she frantically reached [...]
* photographed by Chelsea Chernobyl Those that settled in their seats at The Vogue Theatre last night in Vancouver were unlike any I had seen gathered in one place in this city before. It was a heart warming mix of couples, mothers and daughters, grandparents and their grown up grandchildren. In an age where one can make a hit single using keyboards and sounds produced from a computer, the 50 years plus crowd at the Jill Barber performance seemed to indicate her choice to remain classic. As her band commenced the opener, the title track from [...]

![Teen Daze: Beach Dreams [Album Review]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3067452_lg.jpg)
Oh this chill, lo-fi style of pop never seems to get old. It's good in the summertime, when days are hot and nothing seems better than to sit in the shade with a cold beer or hide in a dark room with the air conditioning full blast. And it's good in the winter, when you long for those summer moments while cozily wrapped in warm blankets. Beach Dreams by Teen Daze captures these feelings and puts them to song with an overall fuzzy haze of goodness. [...]
![Destroyer: Chinatown [mp3]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/2996333_lg.jpg)
For those of you familiar with Dan Bejar and his work in both Destroyer and The New Pornographers, this song may come as a bit of a shock. It's damn near electronic! This isn't the Dan Bejar we know and love... or is it? Leave it to JC/DC to spend a solid year-and-a-half production time reinventing Bejar as an off-beat, near contemporary artist. Bejar has never been one to create normality, but "Chinatown" is about as strange as it gets because it lacks consistency with the man's prior work. [...]
![The New Pornographers: Your Hands (Together) [mp3]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/2521679_lg.jpg)
They say, Oh, don't call this group a supergroup! But I disagree, and there's a distinct reason why. It's because each member in The New Pornographers is, well, super. A.C. Newman adds his unique songwriting and vocal styling and he backs it with the phenomenal song-craft and vocals of Neko Case and Dan Bejar (Destroyer). Blaine Thurier is a film producer and lends keyboard expertise to the band, while John Collins, Todd Fancey, Kurt Dahle and Kathryn Calder round the songs out on various instruments, many of whom [...]
![No Kids: Judy At The Grove EP [Album Review]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/2461878_lg.jpg)
If you've been following the doings of Vancouver, BC's Nick Krgovich, you know he's been a busy fellow. Maintenant by Gigi has garnered substantial hype this year and the band's debut LP certainly warrants the attention. Krgovich is back under the guise of No Kids , whose last release joined together sounds not typically associated with pop music. Despite recording a 60s do-wop pop record under Gigi and performing under the P:ano moniker since the band's last release, Come Into My House , [...]
![We Found A Lovebird [Feature]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/2456601_lg.jpg)
I love this: We Found A Lovebird is named after an announcement they found posted somewhere on a waterfront promenade. That alone should spark some interest. The music itself fits the somewhat contemporary folk-pop genre. The sound is mature, but it's also fun. "0 Avenue Park" kicks off their debut EP, which was recorded live at The Hive. Right away, it's apparent this band would be a fun one to catch at the local dive. Their sound has a slightly larger [...]
![Yukon Blonde: Wind Blows [mp3]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/2325653_lg.jpg)
After the stunning success of Fleet Foxes' debut self-titled LP in 2008, it became apparent that there would inevitably be artists that steal away portions of their so very classic sound. To be honest, I haven't really seen them. That is, until Yukon Blonde . Now, don't immediately label these folks as mere spinoffs. "Wind Blows" does have those echoing harmony vocals with that drawl-ish tone, but there's more of a singular vocal presence around the front-man; you can hear it in the verse. [...]
