Jay's Picks of the Week
By Jay Schreiber
In case you missed their rockin’ show at 340 on Saturday, catch Rolling Stones tribute band Mick Believe featuring Tongue at Fairview Pub tonight. Show up strutting like you mean it ‘cause this show is going to be a rockin’ groovy time, man
Put on your camo pants and find the dirtiest metal t-shirt you own, Cannibal Corpse are coming back to Vancouver. Sharing a bill with Hatebreed and Unearth, the Commodore Ballroom is the place to be to bang our head and growl in tune. I’d leave after Corpse if I were you, there ain’t much else to see after they destroy the stage. Not into metal? How about Douglas College’s concert band and small ensemble concert at the Muir Theatre at the New West campus? You’re at school late and there’s a free show with an open bar, might as well check it out.
If you’re in to experimental psy-punk along the lines of Nine Inch Nails, then head to Honey Lounge at the Lotus Hotel for an evening with Twin Crystals. If you’re not up for that, then head over to the Queen Elizabeth Theatre to see the Vancouver Opera perform Norma.
If you’re in the mood for a maximum heavy metal party, then go to the Eldorado on Kingsway to check out Skylar and Black Wizzard. If want something a little bit lighter, go to Malone’s for Burn Hollywood Burn and Freedom Ride. Something lighter still? The Vancouver Symphony is performing a Baroque Christmas featuring selections from Bach and Vivaldi.
Come out and witness the disturbingly dark, the curiously crazed, the bafflingly beautiful and seductively spicy sonic sensations from composition students at Douglas College. The composition concert happens at 7:30 in the Muir, and it’s guaranteed to be an outrageous night of creations from right within the halls of Douglas College.
