The SKATOMATICS - Selling out local Vancouver venues on a regular basis, The Skatomatics will draw you irresistably to your feet with their blend of 4x4 time and a brass section. Featuring former members of Edmonton's Mad Bomber Society and Halifax ska pioneers Dr. Skankworthy, The Skatomatics bonded over their love for bands like The Police, Sublime, King Apparatus and The Clash.

KARMACANIX are a nine piece ensemble of intense hard hitting ska, funk, reggae, hip hop, latin and punk influences that has created a reputation of being described as nothing short of a Gong fest from start to finish. From the minute they start to the moment they leave the stage they have the crowd off their feet and shaking to the beat. Sweat drips from the ceiling, bottles break on the floor and if you ain't keepin track chances are the Karmacanix own the score.
