VANCOUVER, BC
DOORS 8:00 pm SHOW 9:30 pm
***GENERAL ADMISSION***
Formed in Victoria in 2003, Jets Overhead has quickly become one of Canada's
most talked-about bands. Neil Osborne of Canuck legends 54-40 produced
Bridges, the co-ed quintet's mesmerizing, guitar-heavy, and melodic debut
full-length. After reaching a top 10 position on Canada's national campus
radio charts, the disc became a staple on emerging alternative outlets such
as XM satellite radio as well. Jets Overhead has shared stages with The
Stills, Dandy Warhols, Stars, Tegan and Sara, and Powderfinger, as well as
toured Germany and the U.K. In 2006, the band opened for Our Lady Peace on a
cross-country tour, played EdgeFest, and had its song "Get it Right" featured
on the Help: A Day in the Life War Child benefit album, along with tracks by
the Dears and Radiohead. Following a new Canadian tour, Jets Overhead plays
South by Southwest this year in Austin.
Saturday night at the legendary Horseshoe Tavern during North by Northeast-a
prime gig, when only the best are allowed to play. Enter Golden Dogs, a
Toronto five-piece. When the band hits the stage the crowd, many of whom have
been waiting hours, goes wild, thus proving the group's ability to connect
with a group of jaded scenesters. On its 2006 album Big Eye Little Eye,
Golden Dogs take that live vigour and lay it down on frantic tracks like
"Dynamo", "Saints at the Gate", and the first single "Never Meant Any Harm."
After opening for bands like the Kaiser Chiefs, Bloc Party, and the
Libertines, Golden Dogs are bringing their energetic, adrenaline-charged,
infectious songs to the world.

After thirteen incredibly successful shows at the Commodore Ballroom, The
White returns to perform Led Zeppelin III and Houses of the Holy in their
entirety plus all the most popular Led Zeppelin hits.
Over the past few years, a number of bands have been touring the U.S. and
Canada under the banner of "A Tribute to Led Zeppelin." But the best
impersonators of them all are The White, led by vocalist Michael White.
Originally from Los Angeles, but now based out of Toronto, they have been
performing their version of Zeppelin-mania since 1979. They were the first
band ever to call themselves a 'tribute', and have performed over 4000 shows
to over 3 million fans around the world.
In case there are still any skeptics out there, even guitar master Jimmy Page
claims "Michael White & The White do it best".
Check out the Led Zeppelin tribute band that continues to capture the
imaginations of those lucky enough to see them last time. Close your eyes and
open your ears, and you'll swear that you are at a real Led Zeppelin concert.

KAISER CHIEFS
WITH VERY SPECIAL GUESTS THE WALKMEN
AND THE LITTLE ONES
TUESDAY, APRIL 24TH
COMMODORE BALLROOM
VANCOUVER, BC
DOORS 8:00 pm SHOW 9:00 pm
Kaiser Chiefs were one of the musical success stories of 2005. In a time
where the British press was championing a different skinny boy guitar band,
seemingly by the hour, Kaiser Chiefs swiftly and effortlessly breezed into
first place. Chiefs were wholeheartedly welcomed by the North American media,
who latched on to the feisty fun of debut single "I Predict A Riot" and
reveled in the band's energetic live shows. Kaiser Chiefs made a lively
entrance into North America, to daytime and late night talk shows. By the
time the boys returned to Britain things had spiraled into bone fide Kaiser
Mania and they found themselves the uncontested Band Of The Year.
Fast forward to 2007 already their new single "Ruby," has charted in the
UK Top 10 Airplay after only 3 days of play and a new UK tour sold out in a
mighty 3 minutes. Yours Truly, Angry Mob wields its musical might from the
start in the shape of "Ruby" - an infectious single to rival anything the
band have done before. "Angry Mob", a favourite from the band's European
festival appearances last year is destined to be a universal fan favourite.
Yours Truly, Angry Mob, as one band member has been heard to utter, "is an
album full of big choruses and even bigger guitars". Maybe so. It is also the
work of a band hitting their creative stride.
Praised as one the hardest working live bands going are New York via
Washington DC's The Walkmen. After breaking out in 2002 with the dynamic
single "The Rat", The Walkmen made not one but 2 critically acclaimed records
in 2006. The first a Hundred Miles Off branched out into a new direction
with the addition of a horn and string sections and the second was a song for
song recreation of the legendary Nilsson/Lennon "lost weekend" record
Pussycats.

BLUE OCTOBER
FRIDAY APRIL 6TH
COMMODORE BALLROOM
VANCOUVER, BC
DOORS 8:00 PM SHOW 9:30 PM
"Hate Me" is the kind of epic hit most bands dream about. With that one
song, Blue October has become a household name across North America. The
tune's ability to crossover with audiences is just part of its appeal, as
Blue October singer Justin Furstenfeld's emotive vocals resound with the
universality of the song's themes of self-deception and failure. Yet that's
just one track from this Houston, Texas band, which released its first album,
The Answers, in 1998. Its Universal debut, Consent to Treatment, followed in
2000, but it wasn't until radio stations picked up on the single "Calling
You" (also featured on the American Wedding soundtrack), off the band's 2003
independent release History for Sale, that things really began to take off
for Blue October.
Now, with the success of Foiled and its gargantuan single "Hate Me", Blue
October is one of the hottest modern rock draws in the world. With plenty of
material to draw from, including the blistering tracks that make up its
latest disc, Blue October puts on the kind of thrilling rock show that
radiates strength and confidence.
