SISTER SABBATH - Formed in 2008, Sister Sabbath is different from the other Sabbath tribute bands, boasting a female singer who covers all the eras of Black Sabbath with ease. Their set list covers every angle of the band's vast career from their biggest hits to underground favorites, with an entertaining stage show featuring some of the city's finest musicians and a psychotic nun's outfit front and centre. Vancouver's new female-fronted Sabbath tribute is a force to be reckoned with and we will no doubt be hearing more buzz about this tribute band in the near future. http://www.sistersabbath.com

CRIMSON ROOTS - This is the dawning of a great age, one where man and metal can live as one with rock as their foundation. Deep in this time was birthed a band. In the dying moments of '07, a young man entered a basement lair that would make the average man tremble. Hit by the soulful cry of a gleaming, radiant guitar and taken over by a driving, powerful beat, he plugged in his bass guitar with pure euphoria and screamed with all the love and hate within him. As the three warriors pillaged the vaults of creativity within their minds, their intensely passionate musical voyage spawned a heavy, groove-rockin trio that has exploded onto the Vancouver scene with an unquenchable thirst! http://www.myspace.com/crimsonrootsmusic

WAR OF THE MINDS can do things most mortals can only dream of -- playing instruments with three hands at once, singing with forked melodies, winning music competitions held on other planets, and transfusing their potent musical elixir into your bloodstream with a thrilling combination of intense guitars, commanding vocals, inventive bass and rollercoaster drums. Their riff-heavy music is dynamic and contagious with a darkly grooving edge, bridging epic guitar rock with female-fronted psychedelia into an explosive new sound. Check out their powerful new single "Warning Call" @ http://myspace.com/waroftheminds

TROPHY WIFE put the mental back in instrumental, combining shredding guitar solos, funk bass, Latin rhythms and jazz-classical piano into a contagious blend that has garnered fans at venues like The Roxy, Media Club, Buffalo Club and Columbia. Comprised of Louie Anyos, the most unsung guitar hero on the planet, Darryl Greer on bass, the funkiest white boy on the planet, and the hairiest, most rocking drummer on the planet, Pablo Stolowicz, Trophy Wife is prog-rock in it's most virtuosic and shamelessly entertaining form. Foregoing a singer to steal all the glory for themselves, Trophy Wife aims to dazzle the ear, please the eye, move the ass, melt the face and do other unmentionable things to every other body part you can think of. http://www.myspace.com/trophywifeband
