Event Description

. Saturday, February 23rd I.M.U. presents The DREADNOUGHTS, NIM VIND & LAND @ The Media Club, 695 Cambie. Doors 8pm / $10 - Purchase advance tickets online @ http://www.imuproductions.com

The DREADNOUGHTS - Ball-busting Celt-punk from Vancouver's newest group of drunken misfits, with a shot of pirate-shanty, a shot of Irish melody and a triple-chaser of street punk. The result is a powerful live sound, with whirling fiddles, mandolins and accordions inviting you into a world of drink and debauchery. Imagine Rancid had their tour bus hijacked by a group of inebriated gypsies... and you're beginning to understand. Be sure to come out and catch these young up-and-comers who opened for The Real McKenzies! http://www.myspace.com/vancitydreadnoughts

NIM VIND - Formerly a key member of goth rockers Mr. Underhill, Nim Vind's debut CD "The Fashion of Fear" has caused quite a stir in Europe and Germany, with its contagious collection of the finest horror-punk, darkly tinted surf, contagious punk and ghoulish new-wave anthems, all bound together by Nim's inimitable graveyard croon. Be sure to come out and catch Nim Vind's dark rockin' blend of blues/goth/punk/rock this special evening, as Nim and his undead crew of spectres slither out of their crypts and explode onto the stage to make a most sinister and highly anticipated appearance this evening! http://www.myspace.com/nimvind

LAND (formerly THE FILIGREES) - This 2 man blues-driven rock and roll band focuses on tightly-crafted feel good music, strongly rooted in the spontaneity of the jam. Influenced by Neil Young, Kings of Leon and the Rolling Stones, the band's blues-rock sound has been favourably compared to the White Stripes and the Black Keys, and promises to blow the roof off with their original blend of rockin' bluegrass heart and soul. Their debut 10 song full length CD was recently recorded at Mushroom Studios and will be available soon. http://www.myspace.com/land1977
