Bowser Moon June 27, 2008

Originally formed on Vancouver Island in Nanaimo, Bowser Moon's popularity soared and consequently moved to Vancouver taking over the club scene during the late 70's early 80's.

We are trying a new experiment by listing Bowser Moon on www.rcmpsite.com but acknowledging their start in Nanaimo. They will eventually be listed on www.vanislemusic.com, or, should we leave all the old bands on the www.rcmpsite.com with the cities they're from? Give us your thoughts!

Our thanks to Neil Bettger for the picture of the original band taken in "Ft. St. Somewhere" according to Neil.

Todays band addition: Bowser Moon

Todays audio addition #195: Bowser Moon (City Girls)

DRIVE IN MOVIE THEATRE

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.
