BIKE is a group of friends who like to party and play music. BIKE is silly fun nonsense that will keep you rocking to their crazy tunes until you realize it's over. Formed by Mike Durrant (guitar/vox), Shannon Marshall (bass/vox), Justin Gendreau (drums/vox), Scott Schmidt (bike/vox/sounds), Jared Manierka (sax) & Brandon Woudzia (trumpet), come check out a show and win a Bike! "Swirling the emotion no condition and I'm listenin' to the different points of view created by confusion, usin' the left side of the brain to set a groove to move to like a train." http://www.myspace.com/mybike

SCATTERHEART are a high energy, theatrical alternative/pop/rock quartet whose goal is to make fun, uplifting, catchy rock with a thoughtful and emotional message. While recording their debut CD at Vancouver's Fortissimo Sound Studios, Scatterheart was fortunate enough to recruit the amazing talents of Doug Fury (Bif Naked, Almighty Truth) on lead guitar. Also featuring Jesse Enright (guitar/vocals), Wes Deboer (bass) and Mike Southworth (drums), they've played many of Vancouver's best clubs (Media Club, Lamplighter, Backstage Lounge, Anza Club etc.) and created their own bi-monthly multimedia night called the Elastic Cabaret. Their electrifying music will cause your pulse to dangerously accelerate as the living soul is ripped from your scorched body! http://www.myspace.com/scatterheartband

THE FEMINISTS are an energetic, engaging combination of angelic vocals along with jangle-punk guitar and driving, emotive keyboards, The Feminists bring together a powerful combination of unpredictable, loud, and exciting sound. Jet engine chaos is instantly replaced by fragile, delicate beauty before leaping back to frenzied distortion: power-pop meets art-rock meets psychedelia meets emo-core. One of Vancouver's hardest working indie bands, The Feminists have charted on college stations from Nanaimo to Halifax, toured across Canada without an agent, manager or record label support, opening for bands like The Weakerthans and NoMeansNo. http://www.thefeminists.net

THE LUNA RIOT - Bathed in a wall of noise made up of atmospheric lush sounds, The Luna Riot is a rock and roll band whose songs of love, sorrow and life are influenced by psychotropics, the '60s, psychedelic philosophers and mod & Brit-influenced bands. With members from all over the local music scene, the combination of each bandmate's personal style has given The Luna Riot a unique sound that reflects a modern psychedelic state of mind while touching on some of the best elements of past. http://www.myspace.com/thelunariot

GIRLS ON TOP BURLESQUE - "Burlesque with Heart": The sexy and spectacular Girls on Top are a completely non-profit burlesque troupe, with all proceeds benefiting Vancouver Women's Charities. A pro-female sensual empowerment dance troupe that dances to raise awareness & money for various women's organizations and downtown eastside shelters. They will be gracing us with performances of their particular brand of ecstatic erotica! http://www.myspace.com/girls_on_top_burlesque
