Event Description

. Friday, Sept 24th IMU presents LIONS IN THE STREET, The OUTLIERS & THUNDERWOLF MOUNTAIN @ The Railway Club, 579 Dunsmuir . Doors 9pm

LIONS IN THE STREET create pre-punk rock & roll that's fierce and genuine, invoking vintage Stones swagger and raunchy gospel-inspired boogie with lean attack and ass-kicking rhythmic sense. Sharing stages with the likes of Kings of Leon, Jet and The Dirtbombs, and surviving a 4-year fight with now-bankrupt TVT Records, this is the kind of weary-though-hopeful, beaten-but-not-broken music that only a band who had been through the ringer could make. "Drips with jubilant passion and giddy abandon" - Guitar Player Magazine http://www.myspace.com/lionsinthestreet

The OUTLIERS sound is best described as a democratic roar, an eclectic offering from five musicians with often competing styles and influences from the past thirty years ranging from The Clash to The White Stripes. Ultimately, the band's diversity forms a cohesive and modern sound -- one that wagers its success and credibility on their common objective to redefine rock n' roll. http://www.myspace.com/theoutliers

THUNDERWOLF MOUNTAIN - Distilled in a log cabin in the country on a diet of Neil Young, Townes Van Zandt, The Band and pre-war blues, Thunderwolf Mountain feels like the first sip of whiskey and the last drag of a cigarette. http://www.myspace.com/thunderwolfmountain
