Event Description

. Friday, Oct 24th I.M.U. presents The UNKNOWN SOLDIERS A Celebration of The Doors w/ special guests AMMONIA STARS @ The Backstage Lounge on Granville Island (1585 Johnston St.) / Purchase advance tickets online @ www.imuproductions.com

The UNKNOWN SOLDIERS come amazingly close to replicating the music of THE DOORS note for note while capturing their raw energy through each band member's interpretation, combining to deliver a groovy reproduction of a live Doors show that keeps audiences in a head-bobbing, toe-tapping trance. Although it is hard to replicate the eccentric unpredictability that was Jim Morrison, their singer's Morrisonesque look, vibe and baritone voice combine with swirling organs and deft musicianship to captivate and transcend time and place, allowing audiences to be transported back in time to experience a taste of live shows that are now a part of rock mythology. www.theunknownsoldiers.net

AMMONIA STARS deliver a lyrical blend of classic styles mixed with futuristic and hybrid sounds built on a foundation of solid pop song construction. Favourably compared to David Bowie, early Radiohead, The Verve, Muse and other British acts, some would coin their sound as a creative blend of art rock and progressive rock, with influences including Radiohead, The Cure, The Smiths, The Police and many others. Ammonia Star's debut album was recently recorded at Greenhouse Studios, so be sure to come out and hear the band's newest tunes this special evening! www.myspace.com/ammoniastars
