Chad VanGaalen rarely leaves his house, but after the 2004 release of
Infiniheart, a group of devoted fans grew across the world for this intimate,
textured album. His new album Skelliconnection (2006 Flemish Eye / Sub Pop) ,
replete with blissful, dreamlike lullabyes, broken dance beats, and barnyard
stomps, has brought him to a new level of attention and accolades - and now
the honour of a Juno nomination for Best Alternative album. 

Meanwhile, he continues to stay in the basement, writing songs for his dog,
immune to all the fuss, and occasionally emerging to share his discoveries.
Lucky us.

ANBERLIN

WITH SPECIAL GUESTS THE REASON, DAPHNE LOVES DERBYAND JONEZETTA

MONDAY, APRIL 16
THE PLAZA CLUB
VANCOUVER, BC
DOORS: 6:30 PM         SHOW 7:30 PM 
**ALL-AGES / GENERAL ADMISSION**

Formed in 2002, Anberlin released its album Blueprints for the Black Market
to great acclaim. Amassing a following through steady touring with label
mates on Tooth & Nail Records, and with singles "Readyfuels" and "Change the
World", the disc sold 60,000 copies. Never Take Friendship Personal, the
group's second album, was released in 2005 and was praised by critics, and
the disc, along with tours with Fall Out Boy, Yellowcard, Hawthorne Heights,
and My Chemical Romance, won the Florida-raised quintet thousands of new
fans. Anberlin's latest album, the bombastic and breathtaking Cities, is
already being called one of the best rock records of the year. 

In August of 2005, The Reason sequestered themselves at a cottage near their
hometown of Hamilton and began writing songs for Things Couldn't Be Better,
the sophomore follow-up to 2004's Ravenna.  The demo recorded through this
session attracted the attention of Juno-winning producer Gavin Brown who,
after hearing the new songs and seeing the band perform live, agreed to work
with The Reason as a labour of love. Though the new album is recognizably The
Reason, it is a departure in many ways. Things Couldn't Be Better leaves
behind some of the aggressive tendencies of Ravenna in favour of more melodic
vocals, keyboard undertones and dancier beats.

Don't miss Anberlin with special guests The Reason, Daphne Loves Derby and
Jonezetta for an all ages show at The Plaza Club on April 16th.

DINOSAUR JR.
WITH SPECIAL GUESTS 






WEDNESDAY, MAY 23RD
COMMODORE BALLROOM
VANCOUVER, BC
DOORS: 9:00 PM         SHOW 10:30 PM 
**GENERAL ADMISSION**

Once upon a time, giants walked the Earth. And none were more gigantic, for
sheer noise and influence, than Dinosaur Jr. A trio composed of J. Mascis,
Lou Barlow and drummer Murph, the band released records of uncompromising,
ear-bleeding guitar freakouts and lustrous melody before members went their
separate ways. While Mascis continued on with the Dinosaur Jr. name and then,
eventually, formed J. Mascis and the Fog, and Barlow went on to form the
indie-rock stalwarts Sebadoh, the name and dream that was Dinosaur Jr. has
never been forgotten.  With the recent rerelease of those monumental first
three albums - Dinosaur, You're Living All Over Me and Bug -by hugely
respected indie label Merge, and with the citing of Dinosaur Jr. by countless
bands as an influence,  the original lineup has reformed. The resulting shows
have been received ecstatically by old fans and new, and now a new series of
dates brings the thrilling, titanic majesty of songs like "Little Fury
Things" and "Freak Scene" to the West Coast.  

Don't miss Dinosaur Jr. with special guests at the Commodore Ballroom on
Wednesday, May 23rd.

AN EVENING WITH
LISA GERRARD





TUESDAY, MAY 22ND
THE CENTRE IN VANCOUVER FOR PERFORMING ARTS
VANCOUVER, BC
DOORS: 7:00 PM         SHOW 8:00 PM 
**RESERVED SEATING**

Once best known for her haunting work with Dead Can Dance, Lisa Gerrard has
gone on to establish herself as a solo artist supreme with award-winning
movie soundtracks and a series of acclaimed solo and collaborative albums. 

Lisa formed Dead Can Dance with fellow Australian Brendan Perry after
launching her career with early 1980s performances at various pubs and clubs
around Melbourne, Australia. Over nine albums between 1984 and 1995, the band
created music that was never easily categorized, drawing on influences as
varied as medieval chants, folk ballads, baroque stylings, Celtic flavours
and electronic synth and sample technology. Despite resisting easy
pigeonholing, or perhaps because of it, the band inspired a large following
all over the world. In 1995 Lisa, accompanied by the Victoria Philharmonic
Orchestra, released her first solo album, The Mirror Pool. Director Michael
Mann was so impressed that he included some of the tracks on the soundtrack
to his movie Heat. Duality, her second album, followed in 1998 and delved
into Middle Eastern and North African percussion and vocal styles. This time,
Mann tapped Lisa and her collaborator Pieter Bourke to write new music for
his film The Insider. Her third album, the moody Immortal Memory, explored
themes of spiritual devotion. She has also scored or contributed to the
soundtracks to the movies Ali, Whale Rider, Mission Impossible 2, Black Hawk
Down, Man on Fire, Layer Cake, and more. She has received Golden Globe
nominations for The Insider and Ali, Grammy and Oscar nominations and a
Golden Globe award for the Gladiator score and four international awards for
Whale Rider. The subject of a recent documentary called Sanctuary: Lisa
Gerrard, she recently released her fourth album, The Silver Tree. A truly
solo work, it's more epic and expansive than anything she's done before.
Truly a unique and powerful talent, Lisa Gerrard is not to be missed.


Don't miss an evening with Lisa Gerrard on Tuesday, May 22nd at the Centre in
Vancouver for Performing Arts.

SOCIAL DISTORTION
WITH SPECIAL GUESTS THE BLACK HALOS AND I HATE KATE






MONDAY, APRIL 16TH
COMMODORE BALLROOM
VANCOUVER, BC
DOORS: 8:00 PM         SHOW 9:00 PM 
**GENERAL ADMISSION**

Of all the bands to emerge from the late '70s punk explosion, none has proven
its durability and ability to reinvent itself as Social Distortion. Begun by
Mike Ness in 1978, the band released its full-length debut in 1983 with
Mommy's Little Monster. The disc brought the group to national attention,
while second album Prison Bound showed more of a country influence as Mike
began incorporating the influences of the Rolling Stones and Johnny Cash into
his work. After signing with Epic, the group's third and self-titled release
in 1990 produced the singles "Ball and Chain" and "Story of My Life",
spreading the Social D legend even further, and inspiring critics to call it
the best rock record of that year. 1992's Somewhere Between Heaven and Hell,
a blend of punk, blues, rockabilly and country, snagged the band airplay with
the single "Bad Luck". In 1996 Social Distortion released White Light, White
Heat, White Trash, a harder rocking affair with the single "I Was Wrong"
receiving widespread airplay. 

Social Distortion's most recent disc Sex, Love and Rock 'n' Roll (2004)
launched the group on an extensive tour. Sold-out shows night after night
proved the band's following is as faithful and passionate as ever, while many
younger groups have acknowledged the influence and inspiration of the
unflagging and undefeatable Social Distortion. A new album is scheduled for
release this year.

Don't miss Social Distortion with special guests The Black Halos and I Hate
Kate at the famous Commodore Ballroom on Monday, April 16th.

MUCHMUSIC & Z95.3 PRESENT
HELLOGOODBYE






WITH SPECIAL GUESTS BOYS LIKE GIRLS & THE HUSH SOUND

TUESDAY, APRIL 10TH
CROATIAN CULTURAL CENTRE
VANCOUVER, BC
DOORS: 6:00PM        SHOW: 7:00PM
**GENERAL ADMISSION**

With unbridled energy and intensity, Hellogoodbye spent the last two years
perfecting their live show and booty-shaking jams, which culminate in the
release of their debut album Zombies! Aliens! Vampires! Dinosaurs! The Drive
Thru Records disc follows a self-titled EP that spawned the David Hasselhoff
fave and MTV2 choice cut "Shimmy Shimmy Quarter Turn." Although initially
meant to be free, available at shows and on the band's web site, the EP
scored 750,000 downloads, selling nearly 90,000 copies and eventually winning
MTV2's Dew Circuit Breakout contest. Hellogoodbye spent the next two years
touring with bands like All American Rejects, Motion City Soundtrack and the
Academy Is... before headlining and selling out venues on its own.

Zombies! Aliens! Vampires! Dinosaurs!, is a collection of tunes that
highlight the gifts of singer/songwriter Forrest
Kline, and work together to create a non-stop, radtastic party mix, with no
two songs alike. From the opening beats of the new New Wave powerhouse "All
Of My Love" to the tender plucking and pining of "Oh, It Is Love"
Hellogoodbye create the perfect soundtrack to any hot and heavy make-out or
even something more personal. As for the live show-well, anything goes with
these guys; one day the band is sharing the stage with Beyoncé-or at least a
cutout of Beyoncé-and the next day, each member is dressed up as a different
piece of fruit.
