What a night! Kudos to Billy Hopeless for calling the community together for this great event. There will be lots of photos and videos up soon, as nearly every cool photographer in the city was at this show – but here’s a few shots of Pointed Sticks and one Trespasser pic to give you a quick taste. These were shot by Angela de Mynn, except the blurry Trespassers shot which I took with my phone.
A rare event happening this week – Thursday, May 12th – some of Vancouver’s finest rock ‘n’ roll bands get together for Japan – Pointed Sticks, SNFU, The Bonitos, The Jolts, The Trespassers and White Lung. Nardwuar‘s joining the party as MC – plus Billy Bonito has gathered a whack of raffle prizes from every cool store and label in town with 100% of all proceeds going to Red Cross Japan Relief Fund. Any remaining tickets are likely going fast with recent wave of press in Vancouver Sun, Vancouver Courier, The Province and Georgia Straight. Tickets are available at Red Cat Records, Zulu Records, Scratch Records, Highlife Music, Bonerattle Music and Neptoon Records.
Photos and videos coming soon from both nights at Chapel Arts. The Trespassers, The Strange Magic and DB Buxton on the Saturday night and Butch Murphy & His Bloody Miracles, Flatback and The Crackling on the Friday night. What a great weekend.
Line-Up Change for Friday Night at Chapel Arts
Unfortunately, Herald Nix has had to cancel his performance
due to a death in the family.
…and fortunately, friend and gentleman, Butch Murphy will now close the night with his Bloody Miracles. Really looking forward to the evening!
Here’s an old Bughouse 5 video featuring Butch along with Jeremy Holmes and Scott Smith who will be celebrating the release of their beautiful new Flatback CD “Harmonic Circus”
A grand reunion.
