MAD SHADOW - Electric, charged and explosive, Mad Shadow features guitarist Danny Sveinson, who many have exclaimed will be one of the next great rock guitar legends. Bringing the thunder of heavy '70s rock into the new millennium, Mad Shadow leave crowds speechless with their style, energy and obvious talent. The combination of Danny's hook-laden riffs, singer Erik Olufson's charismatic, one-of-a-kind stage presence and the fist-pounding rhythms provided by bassist Tyler Lindgrin and drummer Josh McDonald never fail to leave the crowd wanting more. The depth of these rockers' ability to break out, sending Danny into blistering solos and impromptu jam-renditions of their best known songs is sure to drop you right in the middle of the rock and roll inferno that is Mad Shadow.

STAMPEDE QUEEN's hard-driving rock'n'roll comes fully alive on stage, taking you back to the late '70s with inspired, whiskey-soaked, in your face raunch'n'roll vocals and a glam-touched sing-along attitude in the vein of AC/DC, KISS & Guns N' Roses. Powered by Jack Daniels, Stampede Queen's raw sound and attitude borrows with respect from classic bar room rock, showcasing the type of band that is as proud to play in front of 5 people as it is 5000. The quartet's energetic heavy grooves mix with a healthy dose of humor and a cheeky unadulterated love of '80s glam-sleaze metal, winning them new fans in smoky clubs everywhere they go.

BLACK MONDO GRASS is one of the newest and most rocking live bands on the Vancouver scene today. An all-original band who strives to bring back the true meaning of rock 'n' roll, they deliver 70's-inflected modern hard rock that will have you shakin' your ass to their driving, bluesy tunes. With five members of varying musical backgrounds and tastes, Black Mondo Grass offers a truly original sound and experience, crafting together what is sure to be the new sound and face of rock... so hang on to your seats and get ready for the ride of a lifetime!
