The Stripes May 20, 2008

A little mainland action in todays updates as we add a couple more bands from the 1950's to the Vancouver list. The Stripes also recorded with famed British Columbia rockabilly singer Jimmy Morrison.

Todays Vancouver band additions: The Versatiles and The Stripes

For one night only, Saturday, August 16, 2008 there will be an outdoor theatre set up at South Shawnigan Lake called the "Lake Oasis Drive In". That's right folks, jump in your car, drive up the Malahat to the South Shawnigan turnoff and follow the signs to enjoy an afternoon and evening that includes a show & shine, live music, concession by the Beacon Drive In and three movies with authentic commercials in between (nothing like dancing ice crean bars and a hot dog jumping into the bun!). The audio will be transmitted through your am/fm radio so no speaker boxes will be hanging off your window. Mark it on your calendar and step back in time with us for an experience you can't get anywhere else on Vancouver Island this summer.
