**GENERAL ADMISSION/EARLY SHOW**
British trio The Pipettes have all the critics' tongues wagging. Combining
the classic girl group sounds of the Shangri-Las, the Ronettes, and the
Supremes with modern themes, Riotbecki, Gweeno, and Rosay (and their all-male
band) have been winning over music fans in the U.K. with ultra-cool EPs and
their catchy-as-heck debut album, We Are the Pipettes. Fun and sassy, dressed
in polka dot dresses and making the world safe again for synchronized
choreography, the group was selected by Rolling Stone as a "must-see" act at
this year's South By Southwest. This summer the invasion begins in full, as
The Pipettes come to North America for a full-on tour to support their EP
Your Kisses Are Wasted on Me before Cherrytree Records releases the debut
full-length (which went to #41 in the U.K.) over here at the end of the
summer. Don't miss the extraordinary sounds, and sights, of the UK's most
exciting export, The Pipettes.
Don't miss The Pipettes with special guests on Friday, June 15th at The Plaza
Club!

THE VEILS
with special guesTS
SUNDAY, JUNE 24TH
THE PLAZA CLUB
VANCOUVER, BC
DOORS 8:00 pm SHOW 9:00 pm
**GENERAL ADMISSION**
"A primal howl as startling as Patti Smith's delivery on Horses...outside of
fashion and as exciting as Echo and the Bunnymen's Heaven Up Here."-Uncut
(Five stars). "A refreshingly passionate record."-The Guardian.
That's just a sample of what the British press is saying about Nux Vomica,
the second album from The Veils. Formed by Finn Andrews, son of keyboardist
Barry Andrews (XTC, Shriekback), The Veils came together in their first
incarnation in London in 2001. After signing to Blanco y Negro and then Rough
Trade, the band issued its 2004 debut The Runaway Found, and a well-received
(on UK indie stations) single, "Lavinia". The Veils opened for the
Raveonettes, Beth Orton and British Sea Power before Andrews decamped for New
Zealand, where he'd been raised, and put together a second incarnation of the
group. That is The Veils we have today-a passionate, fiery, untrendy act
that's been likened to visionaries such as Joy Division, Jeff Buckley, the
Birthday Party and the Smiths. Known for a live show of exceptional emotional
intensity and Finn's possessed stage presence, the band is touring North
America to coincide with the spring release of Nux Vomica on World's Fair
Records.
Don't miss The Veils with guests on Sunday, June 24th for a special
performance at The Plaza Club!
