The SICKS - Voted Vancouver's 3rd Best Unsigned Band in the 2009 Georgia Straight Readers Choice Awards, The Sicks' distinct, memorable songs capture a simple, positive sound that makes audiences get up and move. Two guitarists trade licks in a style reminiscent of the Stones, and each song is infused with Animal-worthy drums and steady bass chops that draw from reggae and rock. With meaningful lyrics that relate to everyday experiences and soulful vocals that convey raw power and energy, their diverse backgrounds and influences forge a rootsy pop sound that can really be put in a class by itself. http://www.myspace.com/thesicksmusic

WALTZ DARLING have entertained local audiences for years with their crazy musical journeys. Sustained by their passion for all styles of music, their Eastern European roots have always been woven into their songs. Atila is Hungarian while his cousin Robert hails from just across the Serbian border. Their disagreements are the stuff of legend and high comedy. Rich's background is Polish and German, while Michael's grandparents were Russian Jews who ran from pitchfork-wielding neighbors. http://www.myspace.com/waltzdarling
