Join Mass Undergoe and a stellar line-up of local bands for this Friday the 13th Rock'n'Roll Massacre love-in spectacular! A mixed up bacchanalia of romance, comedy, love, black cats, broken mirrors, freaks and surprises... it would be bad luck to NOT be there!

MASS UNDERGOE play dynamic, heavy, thoughtful alt/rock songs with reckless abandon for an ever-growing fanbase, and have recently played shows with Ill Scarlett, Gob, Incura & Ninjaspy. They've been called hard rock, pop rock, metal, modern rock and indie, but Mass Undergoe aims to be diverse and unapologetic for loving all types of music, heavy or not. Career highlights to date include regular MuchMusic & MuchLoud rotation, VideoFACT support, extensive cross-Canada touring and two sold out indie showcases for Toronto's 102.1 The Edge. With new music, a new EP and renewed energy, Mass Undergoe shares their belief in music, art, YOUTH, humour (some of it highly inappropriate) and change. http://www.myspace.com/massundergoe

BULLETS OVER BEAUTY - This power-house dark alt-rock combo is a combustible combination of modern rhythm-driven blues and rock influences. Formed by Steffyn (Painted Self), Jay (CrankRiot), Adam (An Oracle) and Glenn (A Murder of Crows), Steffyn and Jay kick-started the band after Steffyn's arduous 3 year battle with cancer left him craving to play again. He brings his emotive vocal stylings together with a powerful dual guitar assault that creates the strong musical experience that is Bullets Over Beauty. http://www.myspace.com/bulletsoverbeauty

FIGHTING FOR ITHACA - With dozens of shows under their belt and a reputation for having one of the most energized live shows in Vancouver, Fighting For Ithaca's hook-filled vocals and bouncy, contagious rhythms are backed with solid harmonies and an aggressive performance. Their name inspired by Homer's epic poem "The Odyssey", their signature "powerpop meets hardcore" sound is captured on a brand new EP that showcases their melodic guitar lines and driving beats. http://www.myspace.com/fightingforithaca

BROMPTON DISTRESS CALL combines life and passion into melody and rhythm, creating a unique sound that is unbound and unchained. They refuse to conform to any sort of genre or style but merely to create music with a punch to the face of reality, from the lives of three individuals brought together to bring you into a sense of security and melodic harmony that's true to life. http://www.myspace.com/bromptondistrsscall
