FACTS:
There once were five boys who wanted to be robots. However, the Powers that Be forbade this, so they settled for being a band. What the band made was retrograde dance punk made for misfits and lovers. Early designs began three years past; upgrades were made gradually with the addition of extra power outlets and fresh manual labour. Results vary between boiled electronic grandeur, and vast, static-filled, bleeding-heart disco ballads.
"First times are either awkward forgettable moments or experiences that excite and engage. Vancouver’s Facts comfortably stand in the latter category with their first full length, Like a Living Being. The album is full of various instrumentation, yet remains tight throughout, emitting the impression that the band has been producing records for a decade."
-Slavko Bucifal, Discorder
"-the album is fun. It’s the sort of record girls put on before they go out; when they’re in the mood to drink and dance and start trouble. It’s a pop album descended not from the bloodline of boy bands and mega-hits, but from the Talking Heads and contemporary indie pop."
-Sarah Kramer, Vancouver Weekly
TOUGH LOVERS:
Through the rickety door of a faded old barn the swelling bass and thundering drums of an aspiring indie rock band regularly disturb the silence of the night. Within this rustic rehearsal space, Tough Lovers, a Vancouver based quartet, continually fine-tune their unique sound. Surrounded by discarded hay bales deemed inedible even by livestock standards and competing with the screeches of circling barn owls, the vulnerable harmonies of lead vocalist Jamie Smail are oddly in tune with the desolate surroundings.
BILTMORE CABARET:
For over 50 years, the Biltmore has been a fixture in the community as both a public house for Vancouverites and a platform for ground-breaking musical performances. With the revitalization of historic Mount Pleasant, the bar was reopened in 2007 as The Biltmore Cabaret, with a fresh focus to recapture its musical tradition. Drawing from the rich local scene in Vancouver as well as the best in Canadian and international touring acts, The Biltmore Cabaret showcases talent from across a wide spectrum of music and the arts.
