House of Blues bring more goods

THE FRAY




WITH SPECIAL GUESTS MEESE AND SINGLE FILE

SUNDAY, JULY 29TH
DEER LAKE PARK
BURNABY, BC
DOORS: 4:00 PM SHOW 6:00 PM
**GENERAL ADMISSION LAWN SEATING / RAIN OR SHINE**

"Over My Head (Cable Car)" introduced The Fray to millions of listeners
worldwide, but it's the follow-up, "How to Save a Life", that has catapulted
the Denver band into the superstar category.

Thanks to the success of that song, a radio and television staple for the
last several months, the group's 2005 debut How to Save a Life has just gone
double platinum. Last year, the disc swept the digital categories, including
Digital Songs Artist of the Year, Digital Album Artist of the Year, and
Digital Album of the Year, at the 2006 Billboard Music Awards. Since the
release of the album, The Fray has been playing to bigger and bigger crowds,
sometimes opening for Weezer, and selling out shows in clubs, theatres, and
larger venues worldwide. Often compared to Coldplay because of its
piano-based melodies and naked emotionalism, The Fray is one of the breakout
successes of the last few years, and a moving live act.

Don't miss The Fray when they return to Vancouver after a sold-out show at
The Orpheum Theatre with special guests Meese and Single File on July 29th at
Burnaby's best outdoor venue, Deer Lake Park.

COMMODORE BALLROOM

868 GRANVILLE STREET
COMMODORE BALLROOM INFOLINE: 739-SHOW

DOORS 8:00 pm SHOW 9:30 pm

After fourteen incredibly successful shows at the Commodore Ballroom, The
White returns to perform Physical Grafitti in its 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.
Don't miss the Ultimate Led Zeppelin Experience, Michael White & The White,
when they return to the Commodore Ballroom on Saturday, April 28th.

Tickets: $23.50 (INCL. GST) + f.f. + s/c

REVEREND HORTON HEAT





WITH SPECIAL GUESTS MURDER BY DEATH

SATURDAY, MAY 5TH
COMMODORE BALLROOM
VANCOUVER, BC
DOORS: 8:00 PM SHOW 9:00 PM
**GENERAL ADMISSION**

The Commodore has played host to many a legendary shows in the '90s. But in
the midst of the punk legends, the grunge upstarts and the Britpop shoegazers
who shared its stage, one act reigned supreme: the Reverend Horton Heat.

Performing an idiosyncratic blend of cow-punk, rockabilly, psychobilly, and
good old-fashioned rock 'n' roll, the Reverend built up a following that
remains loyal to this day, while at the same time finding new fans. On albums
like Smoke 'em if You Got 'em, Liquor in the Front, It's Martini Time and
Spend a Night in the Box, the Reverend and his band Jimbo Wallace and Paul
Simmons have concocted some of the wildest sonic cocktails in rock 'n' roll.

Reverend Horton Heat songs have appeared in commercials for Mazda and Levi's
jeans, as a theme for the 2002 Daytona 500, the popular cartoon Johnny Bravo,
and the video games Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 and Guitar Hero II. But, by
turning each show into a no-holds-barred rock extravaganza, the stage is
where the Reverend really delivers. You won't find any newfangled electronic
programming or stunt casting on Revival, instead, it's what Reverend Horton
Heat does best, 40 minutes of rockabilly, blues and R&B that's ripe and ready
for concert treatment and more legendary shows.

Don't miss the Reverend Horton Heat live at the Commodore Ballroom on
Saturday, May 5th with special guests Murder By Death.

TICKETS ON SALE FRIDAY, MARCH 23RD @ 10:00AM

Punk O Rama on 99.3 The Fox Presents
COMEBACK KID





WITH SPECIAL GUESTS THIS IS HELL, PARKWAY DRIVE and DAGGERMOUTH

THURSDAY, APRIL 19TH
CROATIAN CULTURAL CENTRE
VANCOUVER, BC
DOORS: 6:00 PM SHOW 6:30 PM
**ALL-AGES / GENERAL ADMISSION**

Comeback Kid formed with one simple purpose in mind: to get out and play some
fast, furious hardcore. Three critically acclaimed albums later and after
tirelessly touring the world with bands such as Rise Against, Sick Of It All,
Madball, Bad Religion, Dropkick Murphys, Gorilla Biscuits, Terror, and Bane,
Comeback Kid have become one of the biggest names in hardcore today.

Now, two years since the release of their sophomore album Wake the Dead,
Comeback Kid unleashes Broadcasting, their most diverse album yet. Recorded
with pop-punk legend Bill Stevenson at The Blasting Room, the album
encompasses both heavier and more melodic elements. Lead singer Andrew
Neufeld explains, "We wanted to up the ante with this one. Mix it up a
little bit more. I think that with music it's great to explore new things
and push the envelope a bit."

With a great reaction in their hometown of Vancouver right out of the gate,
it became evident that this band had to become a full time project.
Daggermouth started their first tour in July/'05, and within a month of its
completion, hit the studio to record their debut full length CD, Stallone.
With no distribution or label support, the recording was very well received,
moving over 1,000 units in only a few months of release. Recently signed to
Smallman Records, Daggermouth's label debut Turf Wars will be released on
April 3rd
