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!)

This is probably going to be the most anticipated event of your summer. 12 local Vancouver bands will be gracing the Biltmore stage performing 2-3 song cover sets of really smooth music (yacht rock). Think: Toto, Kenny Loggins, Hall & Oates, Chicago, Christopher Cross… the list goes on and on (and on and on and on). Here are the 12 bands that will have you swimming in smoothness on August 28th (in no particular order):

• B-Lines
• Boogie Monster
• Red Cedar
• The Greff Band
• Jody Glenham
• Apollo Ghosts
• Role Mach
• Valerie Graham
• Fine Mist
• MT-40
• Thee Ahs
• Shane Turner Overdrive

Tickets will be $12 at the door (that’s a buck a band!) or they can be pre-purchased at Zulu, Scratch and Red Cat. Sponsored by: Sewells Marina, and CiTR 101.9 FM.
