PUNCH CHARMING - Formed in mid-September of 2007, Punch Charming is what happens when God decides to wrap kittens in rainbows and light up. Combining ragged funk/ska/rockabilly grooves and the catcalls of frontwoman Casey Wei, Punch Charming puts on an electric live show. Keep an ear out for a new 5-song EP from them soon. www.myspace.com/punchcharming

SHADES OF GRAY - More likely to make immature jokes on stage than to strut rock star poses, Shades Of Gray mix rock with funk and a whole lotta love. You can expect their music to tickle your insides, resulting in an uncontrollable desire to tap your feet, jump around, or sing along to your new favorite chorus. Their most recent release "Rock 'n' Roll Powerhouse" showcases the band's musical evolution while upholding their tradition with another joke title. www.myspace.com/shadesofgray333

The PERKS are an up and coming Vancouver band comprised of singer Dave Ryan, guitarist Mike Miller, bassist Nathan Shaw, and Graham Serl on drums. Be sure to keep an eye out for the band this summer as they debut new songs live from their upcoming second EP. www.myspace.com/theperksmusic
