Event Description

. Saturday, August 21st IMU presents STONE COLD CRAZY Queen Tribute w/ TROPHY WIFE, SOL 3 & NUKEM NICE @ The Railway Club, 579 Dunsmuir . Doors 9pm / Cover $12 @ the door

STONE COLD CRAZY was formed by happy accident in August 2008 when UBC's Ubyssey newspaper requested the formation of a Queen tribute for their 90-year anniversary. The guys had so much fun dressing up and rocking out in character that they've decided to take their love of Queen off-campus and into the hearts and minds of Vancouver's 70s-centric rock fans!

SOL 3 - These former heavyweights of Edmonton’s indie music scene have relocated to Vancouver with their brand of well-crafted, hook-driven melodic guitar rock. Influenced by the great bands from every era in rock history including the Stones, Led Zeppelin, The Who and The Pixies, SOL 3 have evolved to create their own distinct and unique approach with a fresh and relevant sound for the modern age. http://www.myspace.com/sol3canada

TROPHY WIFE put the mental back in instrumental, combining blistering riffs, funky bass and rhythmic beats into an intensely contagious blend that has hooked fans at venues throughout Vancouver. It's hard to pin down their mix of rock, funk, metal and blues, but they've steadily made believers out of legions of people who simply didn't know they would like an instrumental act until they heard Trophy Wife. Foregoing a singer and the desire to be conventional or mainstream, Trophy Wife steals all the glory for themselves by dazzling ears, pleasing eyes, moving asses, melting faces and doing other unmentionable things to every other body part you can think of! http://www.myspace.com/TrophyWifeBand

NUKEM NICE is a hard-working four piece original rock band. Their style can be described as a blend of classic rhythm n' blues mixed with modern hard rock. Each band member's distinctive styles combine to create a truly unique sound. The band's overall purpose is to deliver a pure musical experience and to perform raw, high-energy live shows. http://www.myspace.com/nukemnice
