RUNNIN' DOWN A DREAM
(Tom Petty Tribute) - Mark Ingram
started Runnin' Down A Dream in 2009
as a way to introduce new fans to
the music of one of the greatest songwriters
in rock and roll while entertaining
existing fans with familiar hits and
standout rarities. This kick-ass band
of experienced musicians will blow
you away with their high energy takes
on classic Tom Petty songs like American
Girl, Free Fallin' and Mary Jane's
Last Dance, not to mention a song
or two from the Traveling Wilburys,
Mudcrutch, and Petty's Live Anthology.
STONE
COLD CRAZY is Vancouver's
foremost tribute to legendary UK rockers
QUEEN, capturing their spirit, spectacle
and songs with power and grace. Taking
their mutual love of all things Mercury
into the hearts and minds of Vancouver's
classic rock fans, they skillfully
deliver quintessential Queen from
throughout their chart-topping career.
Stone Cold Crazy is excited to introduce
the gender-bending performance of
singer/pianist Tania Gosgnach, channelling
the legendary Freddie Mercury. Come
and get your Queen on!
DIRTY
BLUE GROOVE is hard rockin'
dirty blues from the '60s and '70s
including covers from Hendrix, Stevie
Ray Vaughn and Peter Green's Fleetwood
Mac. Inspired by bands like Deep Purple
and Led Zeppelin, Dirty Blue Groove
embraces a simple three piece concept
that aims to rock hard and loud!

presents The ENEMY FEATHERS,
MATTHEW MEI & guests @ The Railway
Club, 579 Dunsmuir . Show 10pm / $10
The
ENEMY FEATHERS embrace DIY
pop music, post-punk craft, folk rock
guts and epic garage excitement in
a do-or-die struggle with the banalities
of everyday life. Enjoy the sorrows
of being alive while escaping the
dustbin of history - it's time to
join the enemy!
MATTHEW
MEI - Drawing from childhood
exposure to folk, gospel and church
music along with later preferences
for blues, alternative and jazz, Matthew
Mei brandishes a charismatic blend
of blues, rock, folk and hip hop.
Having traveled the world as the son
of a preacher man, his initial introduction
to the world of music was his dad's
old records, but it was his struggles
in life and his soulful growth that
fueled his desire to write emotional
and heartfelt songs that channel the
highs and lows of human experience.

@ The Railway Club, 579 Dunsmuir .
Show 10pm / $10
GIRLS
GIRLS GIRLS - Premier purveyors
of alcoholic circus music, this London
UK-based three piece is equally adept
at power trio riffing as they are
producing string-laden baroque outsider
music. Their unique mix of joyful
gypsy power pop stomp, chaotic piano
balladry and wide-eyed punkabilly
is colourful, hard-hitting and brilliantly
unified by a killer pop sensibility.
