Event Description

. Saturday, October 23rd IMU presents GOOD GRIEF! CD Release Party w/ special guests The GRIZZ, MEXICAN DRUG PATROL & The SWILLS @ The Railway Club, 579 Dunsmuir . Doors 9pm

GOOD GRIEF! is a rock band that kicks your ass while satisfying your sweet tooth at the same time. Hailing from Vancouver, the band features insightful lyrics, addictive melodies, and a straightforward, edgy sound that invokes the best days of the '90s with a modern twist. The band is the musical vision of Conor Brandt (Flipswitch, On Holiday, Voices in the Attic) who, while contributing creatively to those projects, felt the need to put together a collection of songs he'd written on his own. With a Western Canadian tour and 5-song EP planned for 2010, GOOD GRIEF! is quickly gaining momentum. http://www.myspace.com/goodgriefband

MEXICAN DRUG PATROL - Formerly known as The HIGH SCHOOL GIRLS, Mexican Drug Patrol brings blazing electric desert surf rock to the clubs of Vancouver. The guitars of James Elwood and Ben Fussell do the talking, backed up by Tony Dallas on drums and the recent addition of Dave Wise of Fuzzcat on bass. The band is hard at work recording their first album, which will be stuffed to the gills with original instrumental rock tunes. http://www.myspace.com/mexicandrugpatrol

The SWILLS - Combining killer heavy riffs with catchy melodies, kick-ass rhythms, and songs that actually have something to say, The Swills are the perfect solution to the mundane modern rock blues! http://www.myspace.com/theswills
