Join us for out of control rock'n'roll mayhem with some of Vancouver's favorite wild child bands! Back from a kick-ass tour, the boys in INCURA are primed and ready to RAWK you with their tight, sexy pants & tunes, joined by their mighty take-no-prisoners guests The FLAIRS, who are about to embark on a tour of their own! Joined by the intensely energized aggressive rock stylings of Fighting For Ithaca, this special evening delivers a triple kick rock'n'roll threat!

INCURA - This progressive rock-metal band formed in late 2004 with the mindset to create an individual musical art form, open minds and push the musical envelope. No one sound can describe the creature that is now Incura. They take original lyrics, percussion, riffs and melodies to create addictive songs with "an eerie depth that speaks the truth and make you think." http://www.incura.net

The FLAIRS are taking the world by storm with edgy, high energy pop-punk that harkens back to the days of '70s punk and '80s hair metal, sweetly flavoured with honeyed vocals over frayed power chords and frenzied beats. Featuring former members of Tuuli and Bif Naked's band, their latest CD "Shut Up And Drive" skillfully blends youthful spirit and undeniable talent, unleashing thier original sound on an unsuspecting public hungry for living, breathing, punk-coloured hard rock with smart pop sensibilities. With success in the Far East and opening spots with INXS, the sky's the limit for this talented hard-rocking quartet! http://www.myspace.com/theflairs

FIGHTING FOR ITHACA's contagiously energized bouncy rhythms and hooky vocals are backed with solid live harmonies and a stage show that features intensely aggressive vocals. Tired of generic, outdated sounds in the local scene, frontman Curtis Steeksma searched desperately for musicians with more adventurous musical tastes. After an extended search, he found his bandmates: guitarist Ryan Pulfer, bassist Tommy Phoenix and drummer Curtis Mathias. When vocalist friend Patty joined the melee, the band's instant chemistry was cemented and has already begun to find its niche in the Vancouver scene. http://www.myspace.com/fightingforithaca
