CRIMINAL CATERPILLAR - Formerly known as Koro Kidinga, Criminal Caterpillar is a progressive art-rock group from the Lower Mainland. Inspired by bands ranging from The Mars Volta and Radiohead to King Crimson and Mr. Bungle, they are now releasing their debut CD "Thanatos And The Archangel", a 70 minute concept album. "Enough lyric and tempo changes to keep you occupied without losing the touches of prog that set them apart from boring old rock bands" - Backstage Vancouver http://www.myspace.com/criminalcaterpillar

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

LADY MISHMASH - Following assorted musical adventures as lead singer of Seven O'Clock Scandal not to mention prior stints in a Salsa band and a traditional Andean collective, Constanza is now embarking on a mission to see what the world of solo musicianship has to offer. As Lady MishMash, she continues to explore her versatile vocal and guitar playing talents with poetically raw songwriting on subjects ranging from human nature and love forlorn to fantasies gone wild. http://www.myspace.com/ladymishmashmusic
