User Info...		 Good Show I will post photo's as I have time. Three Bands from Vancouver explains why I had not heard of them other than an email I received from Sweetheard band, I guess from the Grace Nocturnal mailing list. It was nice meeting Johnny Wildcat from Mongoose, will have to check out your next gig! - Sun, 5 Dec 2004 7:12am

It would be a good idea to let the Peeps know that it's three bands from Vancouver... might get even more people out to show Victorias support and justify's the $8.00 cost...(A)Your not likley going to see these bands here in a month or two and (B) the cost to get bands and gear to the rock are insane - Mon, 6 Dec 2004 7:28pm

I miss GN..what happened to drinking beer on stage, breaking and dropping mic stands...causing chaos...now he's gone to Vancouver and come back with EMO pop with guys dancing..and about thsi time I relaized ,where's the Girls ,they aren't up front? ...Ahhh will you look at the time...It's almost 10:20 and those NUVO WAVERS are always on time...better Fly...I would have stayed had the show ended at like 10:00 as posted but it was getting late... I am sure some people loved them, but not my cup of tea...and I own several Smiths/Morrissey albums - Mon, 6 Dec 2004 8:06pm

User Info...		 Retrograde rocks my world...caught them with the Cynics at Steamers last time they were here and that was a killer show, Saturday at Lucky did not dissapoint. Nice fellas too. Oh yeah and to that supercool "anonymous" guy who just posted, do you head out to nearly every show in town, then post a comprehensive review and pictures for the benefit of everyone? Didn't think so. Gotta be something better to do than anonymously slag a person who, by all accounts, seems to be a stand-up fella (don't know him personally.) People make mistakes. Give your head a shake. - Mon, 6 Dec 2004 11:09pm

he didn't mention anything about their music, just their clothes.

User Info...		 All I gotta say is Retrograde has the BEST use of three can lights I've ever seen! TOTALLY effective, and Wolf caught the moment with a great photo! They look like rock gods!

And in defense of the Wolf he did review the music, at least of the first band, and he probably was at the bar or the loo when the last band did the key/drum switcher-roo...so he mighta just missed it. Anyways that Lucky stage is perfect for good visual shows being as high as it iz, and if it was Adam on sound that explains why everyone sounded good...that guy's got great ears!
