. Saturday, March 12th IMU presents LEMMING DYNASTY, WHITEY, BIG TALL GARDEN & NOTHING TO LOSE @ The Railway Club, 579 Dunsmuir . 9pm / $10
LEMMING DYNASTY isn't afraid to punctuate their craft with tight arrangements, searing harmonies and riff-heavy bottom grooves. Slick grooves sauced in social outrage meet haunting melodies peppered with a strong sense of soulful defiance. One hears elements of grimy '70s funk, dirty grunge, electro punk and progressive jazz. In an era where retro is getting old again and dusty tracksuits grace the covers of sarcastic new wave magazine covers, Lemming Dynasty are out to create the very thing that seduced them in the first place - great rock songs. http://www.myspace.com/lemmingdynasty
WHITEY - Delivering the goods in BC since February of 2001, Whitey has been charging dance floors and festivals across the country since 2005. With an EP, two full-lengths, and a documentary/live DVD in their library, this group from Chilliwack/Vancouver BC is well experienced. Their style, incorporating everything from Funk to Latin to Blues, offers something for everyone in an extremely energetic live show. http://www.myspace.com/whiteycanada
BIG TALL GARDEN's original sound has been compared to everyone from Neil Young and They Might Be Giants to the Violent Femmes and The Police. With three releases under their belts and countless shows played including stints at the Commodore, be sure to catch all three original members reunited once again for this very special evening! http://www.myspace.com/bigtallgarden
NOTHING TO LOSE - Out of the ashes of Vancouver's revered Fuzzcat rises a funky quartet whose first love is playing together. With very little planned and no fear of the crowd these guys take command at every show, laying down anything from funk to rock to blues all made up in front of your eyes... there's Nothing To Lose, so come and check it out! http://www.myspace.com/davecarlwise
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.
