| Sati User Info... | Shindig (CiTR's battle of the bands) Haha, like I'm going to make an idiot out of myself writing about something that cool. I will not do it. I will say: 3 wildly different but each excellent new bands (mostly made up of pretty active & experienced local musicians!), the sweetest bad jokes you've ever heard... 25 solid years of questionable judging practices, mucho liquor consumption and fun times at the Railway. (the qjp was a haha) Anyway, here's the listing and everything thats up with it about the bands. I highly recommend them. Tuesday October 6th Shindig 2009!! [-]Jody Glenham, Lengthy List of Lovers, Tigerhead @ Railway Club (No Minors) $8 8:30 PM [ticket info] Presented by: CiTR 101.9 FM Radio and SHiNDiG [more info] CiTR radio continues to offer the freshest underground music in this annual competition that spans 13 weeks and over a thousand participants. Twenty-seven bands and musicians of all styles duke it out to grab one of three prize-winning top slots. With three great bands each night and free audience prizes, what more can you ask for? http://www.jodyglenham.com/ Lengthy List of Lovers new wave am-gold from Vancouver BC Making no admissions about their romantic pasts, the members of new Vancouver pop outfit Lengthy List of Lovers have indeed been around the block - the musical block, that is, having most recently played together in noteworthy prog-space-rock anomaly Vonnegut Dollhouse. After debatable success, two studio records and a short tour Vonnegut Dollhouse ended in late 2008, leaving 2/3 of the songwriting machine - Alyson Fun and Dan “Electro” Brard to their own devices. It was only a matter of retooling their format - with Fun now full time on synth and Brard back on guitar - and purchasing a drum machine to get things rolling. Creativity runs wild in their East-Van rehearsal facility and the pair is looking forward to debuting their songs with a self-released EP in Spring 2009. Named after an obscure Beach Boys lyric, Lengthy List of Lovers do not have as esoteric a sound as the name's origins may indicate - touting catchy and inventive arrangements, trundling guitar compositions, eerie vocals and retro beats set atop peppy synth basslines. The band administers a cross-pollination of new-wave with am-gold and Western Canadian guitar rock, Lengthy List of Lovers will appeal to fans of golden-age-era Beach Boys, The Talking Heads, Spookey Ruben, The Buttless Chaps and Blondie to name only a few on a lengthy list. - Thu, 8 Oct 2009 8:34pm Edited: Thu, 8 Oct 2009 8:37pm | ||
