HOT PANDA:
Having been compared to everyone from Daniel Johnson to the Talking Heads, the high energy pop rock sound of Hot Panda is hard to fully explain. Their “raucous live show” is guaranteed to make you move and you should fully expect to get your dance on. Hot Panda has played beside a roster of reputable acts including Art Brut, The Raveonettes and Tokyo Police Club. Edmonton ex pats and Mint Records alumni, their music is genre defying and incorporates elements of Brit pop, gypsy swing and even opera solos. But be warned, the rambunctious, ready to go attitude of Hot Panda can be very contagious.

ANALOG BELL SERVICE:
Another band with a hard to pin point style, Analog Bell Service is a group of artists from Vancouver who joined together in a studio in Chinatown. They specialize in up-tempo, art-pop with rich three part harmonies and imaginative lyrics. Members of Analog Bell Service have played at top spots like Sasquatch Music Festival, SXSW and toured Europe with such bands as the Choir Practice and The Gay Straights. Influenced by the likes of Spoon and Department of Eagles, the band brings intensely energetic performances to their fans and is sure to keep you guessing.

THE ALBERTANS:
Formed in Vancouver from a mix of Albertans, Saskatchewans and Americans, The Albertans play indie pop rock that floats between 90’s alternative and new age pop music. Currently the band is posted up in this rainy city playing shows, leading to the upcoming release of their LP “New Age.” The Albertans songs are full of emotion and when they play a show, their intensity is infectious.
For physical events that happen at a specific time. For example a concert, or dance performance. If there are multiple shows, you can still duplicate your event to cover them all.
