The RADICALLY HIP is a 5 piece TRAGICALLY HIP Tribute Band that captures the spirit and the raw energy that has made the Hip the Canadian rock icons that they are today. Inspired by Gordon Downie's poetic prophetic insight combined together with the band's great musical prowess, The Radically Hip reaches for and hits those magical frenetic peaks that we've all come to love from The Hip. Proud to be Canadian, we invite you to come share our love for everything in life that is Hip! http://www.radicallyhip.com

CAPADE is a local rock band whose thick sound and dynamic live shows continually captivate an ever-growing audience. At six-foot-three, frontman Nikola Tucakov's stage presence is commanding, while the band's skilled reggae-vibed rock and funk elevates fans and catches them up in a whirl of engerized groove. Their original blend of propulsively funky rock'n'roll pop music has been compared favorably with early David Bowie. Come out and be caught for a spell as band members Siadat, Scharf and Spidel spin a tight grooving musical web with Nikola's vocal prowess drawing you irresistably into it. http://www.myspace.com/capade

The PHONY STONES - One of Vancouver's newest tribute bands, The Phony Stones are sure to bring pleasure to Rolling Stones fans with brilliant covers of songs from one of the most consummate rock'n'roll bands of all time! You can expect to hear crowd-pleasing Stones obscurites & classics from the British rockers' impressive catalogue and be astounded at the Stones' ability to write songs that transcend the spectrums of time and space. Long live The Rolling Stones and long live Rock 'n' Roll! http://www.myspace.com/thephonystones
