Fans of New Order, Bloc Party, Weezer and golden-era Coldplay will certainly take to CITY OF GLASS, the only band invited to play more than one set during the Telus World Ski and Snowboard Festival alongside bands like The Stills and Ten Second Epic. http://www.myapce.com/cityofglass

GO GHETTO TIGER delivers devastating synth riffs and irresistibly danceable beats with a live show that has been described as "unpredictable, always keeping you guessing about where it might turn next." Their eclectic blend of guitar, bass and synth interjects playful drum loops, samples and melodic vocals, combining into intelligent, sparkly, melodic grooves with inspired lyrics and tempo changes. http://www.myspace.com/goghettotigermusic

The SHOWGEARS - With a sound that finds common ground between Bedouin Soundclash and early, grungier Police, the Showgears are funking up Vancouver's music scene. The reggae pop trio delivers cunningly crafted songs bursting with heavenly guitar licks and devastatingly precise percussion to create the perfect mix of talent and artistic flair. With funky beats, catchy lyrics and high-energy shows, The ShowGears might just be the coolest sound this side of Vancouver. http://www.myspace.com/theshowgears
