Dropkick Murphys played at SnowJam last August, which was held in the grounds right outside of Science World. Good show, weird crowd. Groups of punks and skins everywhere, and a fucking lot of people there to see the Rascalz, Moka Only, and Swollen Members, who all played the same day. Pennywise was fun. Lars and the Bastards would be fun to see. Not gonna happen anytime soon with Rancid being on all the Warped Tour dates though. - Thu, 5 Jun 2003 3:59am

glop Hey Mr. "There's no good fucking shows". In Vancouver they're doing a play featuring live oral sex.

It ain't fuckin', but hey, it's close. - Tue, 10 Jun 2003 11:42pm
Anonymous You really need to go to Tiajuana for the Good Fucking shows. If you're into that sort of thing. - Wed, 11 Jun 2003 12:22pm
Anonymous Nah, North Vietnam is the real market for serious bands nowadays. Those crazy asians go absoloutly nuts, especially for melodic metal... wait, mabye I'm thinking of Japan... - Thu, 12 Jun 2003 10:42am

One of the only really decent bands and shows that has happened in oh, say the last, before the Red Lion burned, was the Nevermore show. I don't know where or what they are up to nowadays, but when I got to sit down next to Jeff Loomis at the Fox Pub, the evening of the show, had a drink, showed him two different issues of Brave Words and Bloody Knuckles, with them on the cover, that he signed for me, it's hard to beat that. Minus the caliber of Strapping, or Nevermore, it has been or seems like and may be a while until a show of that magnitude happens. - Tue, 17 Jun 2003 3:55pm
Ya Ya Ya Thats all in your world...........I dont have a fuckin clue who your talking about.....Do people put too much pressure on bands to help them with their depression?.... - Tue, 17 Jun 2003 5:53pm

What do you mean no good shows? 3 inches of blood come to victoria and they are an incredible show. Anonymous is playing tonite at lucky. Strapping Young Lad were here not to long ago. Didn't the Casualties open for Bad Religion here only a couple months ago? Not my fault if you missed out, but there are good shows in vic. - Sun, 29 Jun 2003 3:40pm

Let's see, who has been here in the last month or so.

Yo La Tengo
S.T.R.E.E.T.S.
Cinematic Orchestra
Holly Cole
K-Os
Radio Berlin
Minus The Bear
Moneen
Radio Berlin
Prince Paul
Death By Stereo

Oh there are lots more, also both JazzFest and FolkFest are here this month. As for next month there is...

Erase Errata
Ska Fest
Tegan and Sara
Billy Bragg
Michael Franti
Boy (ok maybe he's not that great)

and coming up later there is

Bruce Cockburn
George Thoroughgood
and if Victoria gets lucky... The Virus

If you think there are no good shows here you should move to Kamloops, it would make you appreciate Victoria a lot more. There are tons of good shows in Victoria and lots of diversity too. If you say there are no good shows you are obviously a narrow-minded fool because plenty of great bands come through here. Perhaps crowds sometimes aren't as enthusiastic as they could be, that is my only complaint. Plus I'd like to see someone go all out and break a guitar maybe, that could be fun. - Sun, 29 Jun 2003 5:18pm

bruce cockburn, george thorougood????I'm not 50 and if I was I still wouldn't listen to that fucking bullshit, "get a haircut and real job" yah seeing that live would make me regret living. I think you emphasized the point of original post, there are no good shows, considering STREETS is the only good band you listed. - Mon, 30 Jun 2003 12:52pm

I was trying to illustrate the amount of eclectisism there is as far as shows here go. If you want a punk/hardcore show every night and will listen to nothing else then move to Vancouver like everyone else. Personally I'm happy here, not that you give a shit. - Mon, 30 Jun 2003 3:14pm
