BLACK DOG - Electric, charged and explosive, Black Dog is bound to leave you speechless with their straight-up, no-holds barred portrayal of Led Zeppelin. This is not a bunch of middle-aged musicians playing Zeppelin songs: Black Dog is a band of musicians close to the actual age and look of the members of Led Zeppelin when they were in their prime. Based in Vancouver and featuring the members of Vancouver's Mad Shadow, Black Dog creates an accurate and mesmerizing portrayal of LED ZEPPELIN, from the band's wardrobe to their dynamic onstage presence, paying homage with emotion and realism to their powerful, unmistakable sound. Be transported back to when the baddest and best band in hard rock was tearing up the world!

MAD SHADOW - Electric, charged and explosive, Mad Shadow features guitarist Danny Sveinson, who many have exclaimed will be one of the next great rock guitar legends. Bringing the thunder of heavy '70s rock into the new millennium, Mad Shadow leave crowds speechless with their style, energy and obvious talent. The combination of Danny's hook-laden riffs, singer Erik Olufson's charismatic, one-of-a-kind stage presence and the fist-pounding rhythms provided by bassist Tyler Lindgrin and drummer Josh McDonald never fail to leave the crowd wanting more. The depth of these rockers' ability to break out, sending Danny into blistering solos and jaw-dropping jams of their best known songs, is sure to drop you right in the middle of the rock and roll inferno that is Mad Shadow.

FUZZCAT - Assembling like the five lions of Voltron, Fuzzcat unified into a tight music-making machine bringing thick beats and ass-shakin' rawk. Influences include Manu Chao, The Clash, Public Enemy, Fela Kuti and anyone else that brings a tear to the eye or a beer to the lips. You never know who will sit in or whose clothes may be shed. If you like shaking your ass and banging your head, come work it out with Fuzzcat.

FIREBRAND - Emerging from the depths of Vancouver's lowly underground, a new breed of high energy rock has arrived! Here to bring you to your feet and make you feel the pulse of a generation lost, shaking you like an apple out of a tree and waking you from your somber existance. If you like rock, if you like it hard, and if you like it good, you've found your answer.
