It is a big weekend for the West Coast, starting tonight. Victoria's Rifflandia Festival begins it's third anniversary the right way with performances by Sonic Youth's Lee Ranaldo and Aesop Rock! Vancouver's OLIO festival counters with the popular local dance rebels Basketball and Toronto's Egyptrixx! AND PLAYING BOTH FESTIVALS IS EDMONTON PHENOMS SHOUT OUT OUT OUT OUT WHO WILL BE TALKING TO ME TODAY!!!!!
Festival Season is usually in the summer, but what happens when the weather turns ugly? TAKE THE FESTIVAL INSIDE!! It's a great idea! Venues in Vancouver were ravaged by the awesome summer. While we were all celebrating the great warmth of July and August at the beach, Lousiana's Quintron and Miss Pussycat was playing the Biltmore cabaret for 70 people.
I went to three shows last Saturday in Vancouver. The weather was disgusting! AND THE SHOWS WERE PACKED!!
DO YOU FIND YOURSELF GOING TO MORE SHOWS WHEN THE WEATHER SUCKS???
