WHITEY - Delivering the goods in BC since February of 2001, Whitey has been charging dance floors and festivals across the country since 2005. With an EP, two full-lengths, and a documentary/live DVD in their library, this group from Chilliwack/Vancouver BC is well experienced. Their style, incorporating everything from Funk to Latin to Blues, offers something for everyone in an extremely energetic live show. http://www.myspace.com/whiteycanada

LEMMING DYNASTY isn't afraid to punctuate their craft with tight arrangements, searing harmonies and riff-heavy bottom grooves. Slick grooves sauced in social outrage meet haunting melodies peppered with a strong sense of soulful defiance. One hears elements of grimy '70s funk, dirty grunge, electro punk and progressive jazz. In an era where retro is getting old again and dusty tracksuits grace the covers of sarcastic new wave magazine covers, Lemming Dynasty are out to create the very thing that seduced them in the first place - great rock songs. http://www.myspace.com/lemmingdynasty

D.F.Y. (DECIDE FOR YOURSELF) - As the sun crested over the roof of the house, they become consumed by their curiosity. Music is an art, music is an entertainment, and if properly placed it has the ability to put us in various states of trance, not bound to a time or space. This is a way to connect to the universal energy of creation. http://www.myspace.com/dfymusic

BUCKY COE's music is a heartfelt expression of modern life: it's such a crazy world, full of needless suffering, but we are always surrounded by beauty. Influenced by all the folk and soul heroes past and present, they are inspired by artists like Bob Marley, Bob Dylan, John Lennon, Simon & Garfunkel, Jeff Buckley and Marvin Gaye. Free your mind and the world will follow! http://www.myspace.com/buckycoe
