We had another brilliant showcase at Industry Night No.2 last night.  The video is being edited as this blog is going up but we wanted to share some photos of the event.  Huge thanks to Legs and Christine McAvoy for making an entertaining and exciting evening.  The band played an massive dark and moody set with power to spare!  Watch out for Legs, they are going to rise rapidly!

Big thanks to everyone who came out last night, between the band, their fans, Christine and the wonderful crew who helped film the showcase, we all had a rewarding night!  Check back here in a day for the video from the evening; Industry Night episode two will be epic. 

Next show will be November 25th at The Cobalt: host Hatch Benedict with musical guests Phoenix Thunderbird.

Industry Night: Episode One - Japanese Girls

We had a fantastic launch to our new series on Monday night, with an energetic and inspired performance by Japanese Girls and a hilarious interview with Hatch and Cory from Sex With Strangers.  The crowd was buzzing after the night and there is a feeling of excitement about the upcoming shows.




Our next show in the series is Monday Oct 28th with musical guests Legs and host Christine McAvoy.  There's quite a buzz surrounding this band so we expect another brilliant night down at the Media Club.

After the 28th we are relocating the show to The Cobalt, and will be restarting on Nov 25th with none other than Phoenix Thunderbird!  Expect Hatch to be back in the interviewer seat, he did a wonderful job and seemed to enjoy it thoroughly!

 

Here's another song recorded on the night: Vancouver Grizzly, the first single off Japanese Girls Shark Week ep. 

Industry Night Oct 28 - Legs with Host Christine McAvoy

Oct 28th will be be featuring local rockers Legs as our musical act with an interview provided by guest host Christine McAvoy.  Legs has been generating a lot of buzz this year with the release of their Dark Rituals ep, which you can check out below:

This is going to be a great night so make sure to keep your Monday open!

Industry @ Media Club

Industry night is just around the corner at the Media Club starting next Monday, October 7th.


Oct 7th.  To make our first show something special we've asked comedian Simon King to host the evening.  The man is truly funny.  Check out the clip below.  Along with Simon there will be two other special guest comedians with DJ's Cory and Co. closing the evening with the best of party tunes to make next Monday a stellar time!   Musical guests for the night at Megabear.  


Oct 14th is not an official Industry night, however there will still be late night dancing with H&M Soundsystem providing the tunes and drink specials into the wee hours. 

Oct 21st is looking to be a fantastic night.  We have Light Organ recording artists Japanese Girls on stage, with guest hosts Hatch Benedict and Wedge Beavers from the band Sex With Strangers interviewing the band and offering their unique take on the music biz.  The evening's DJ's are Cory & Co. once again, spinning some happy tunes to make Monday nights into the dance party it needs to be! Check out the new EP from Japanese Girls below.


Oct 28th is another great night, with the smokey voiced Legs on stage to provide a sultry blues infused rock and roll evening.  Benn McGuire will Host.   Music by H&M Soundsystem.

This is going to be the most fun people have had on a Monday in Vancouver since this century began!  Come early for the show, and stay for the dancing! (Jack Daniels has sponsored our night, so please inquire at the bar for the evening's drink specials!) 

We are soon to be a part of a new night here in Vancouver: Industry.  Held at the Media Club on Mondays we will be showcasing a different band with a special guest host each night, all to be captured on video and rebroadcast to the world. 

The concept is to help illuminate rising local talents of Vancouver, feature some colourful characters from the scene, and have a great dance party to celebrate the night.  Each Monday, starting Oct 21st, we will have a guest host interview the night's showcase band before a live audience with a succinct set from the featured act, all to be followed by special guest  DJ's to make a full evening of music, dancing and fun.  The fine people of Vandocument.com have also offered to be our camera crew for this night, so the video's should be world class too!  

To top things off it seems we are fortunate enough to have our night sponsored by none other than Jack Daniels, just to make sure the rock and roll maintains its full bodied flavour!  ($3.50 JD shot anyone?)

The first interview/showcase will be Japanese Girls on Oct 21st.  Before that night we will be having a few dance nights just to introduce the music to a new audience, and establish the vibe.  Come join us next Monday, Sept 23rd, for a truly affordable night out with great music in a cool space.

Stay tuned for more announcements about Novembers acts!
