Thanks everyone for coming out to St. James Hall last week to see Nurses (from Portland) and The Tallest Man on Earth for his first concert in Vancouver! It was a sold out show but we still managed to squeeze in some last minute tickets at the door. For anyone that missed the show here a few photos to recap the night. Hopefully we’ll see these two bands back in Vancouver very soon.

@ The Western FrontFacebook Event

So we’ve been taking it easy for a while, trying to gather ourselves, but now we’re back; and oh how. Saturday April 17th, we’ve got Montreal’s Courtney Wing playing at The Western Front in support of his new album “Bouquet of Might and Fury”. An artist of this caliber in a room this stunning is a damn safe bet on it’s own. The supporting cast will be local gems E.S.L. and Attics and Cellars. If your not familiar with these them, then you really ought come find out for yourself. Watch this to get an idea what you’re in store for. YouTube Preview Image

“Courtney Wing is a living illustration of modern Canadian multiculturalism. Born to a Chinese father and a Russian/Icelandic mother, Wing has played traditional Chinese percussion, sung with members of his hometown’s Icelandic folk community, played with a reggae band in Belize and danced flamenco in the south of France. “

This event has absolutely nothing to do with the OIympics. This event will be intimate and memorable. Luyas (members of the Bell Orchestre), from Montreal, play the Western Front on Saturday Feb 20th with locals Aunts and Uncles and Rose Melberg’s new band Brave Irene.

This is something that we’ve tried and failed to do before. Finally it has happened. We’ve managed to get Headlights to play Vancouver. This is exciting for us, and exciting for them too, as they will then begin their tour with Pedro the Lion’s David Bazan. Sadly David will not be coming to Vancouver, but these Illinois born gems will be playing the Railway Club on Feb 28th (last day of the Olympics!)

Just to sweeten the deal, we’ve got Blank Cinema and Shane Turner Overdrive playing the bill too.

Tickets available at Scratch, Red Cat, Zulu and Ticketweb

I once read on another blog, “calling someone the best songwriter since Dylan is about as original as listening to MGMT”. Humorous and poignant, yes. However, The Tallest Man on Earth is certainly doing a good job of making people seem unoriginal. In support of his third album, The Wild Hunt, he will be playing St. James Hall on May 12th.

The proof is in the pudding:

Now how original do you feel? Tickets are available at Zulu, Scratch, Red Cat and Ticketweb this Friday.
