Something seriously has to be done about the lack of
venues in the Vancouver Area.
Over the years, cornerstone venues that gave local and international bands a lot of exposure have been shut down by either the slumlords, the City of Vancouver (cough cough vanoc) or some other pathetic reasoning.

In looking outside of the vancouver area, I have noticed that there are a LOT of quality venues left on Victoria Island and in Washington State.
So thats where my bands are heading, until Vancouver gets thier shit together, I urge other local bands to boycott the vancouver "Music Scene" and get some shows and exposure where it counts, NOT IN VANCOUVER - Thu, 12 Nov 2009 1:46pm

Victoria ain't no picnic either.
Unless you book a show yourself here and don't let anyone be an in-betweener who isn't in a band themselves, expected to be shafted royally. - Thu, 12 Nov 2009 2:45pm

Losing The Cobalt was a tough blow for the punk community, but there is still great shows nearly every night in this city meaning there is obviously still places to play. And when all else fails take it to the basement. Those are usually the best shows anyway, as far as fun is concerned. - Sat, 14 Nov 2009 2:00pm
