Acrpost: A Project of the Pacific Association of Artist Run Centres

Event Description

Crab Water For Life Society received funding and support from The Community Arts Council of Vancouver, Raycam Community Centre and Co-op Radio.
So we've put together our first Victory Square Festival.
Saturday, August 14, 2-5pm

This historic site, dedicated to all who gave their lives in international conflicts, is located just a couple of short blocks Northwest of the Stadium skytrain station.
Right smack dab in the middle of Cambie-Pender-Hamilton & Hastings streets.

This is one of many Arts Council events celebrating and promoting the dynamic and vibrant downtown eastside.

All acts have been confirmed:

* Waltz Darling http://www.myspace.com/waltzdarling

They're on first at 2pm with their Eastern European slant on rock and roll!
They've been featured on Urban Rush and are a favourite of such local dynamos as Big John Bates! I've been plying them for years on Radio Bandcouver.

* The second act at 3pm is The Van Eyes 3

Featuring: Ian Tiles on drums, back from a successful Japanese tour with The Pointed Sticks.
Ron Scott from Shanghai Dog on guitar
and:
The master of keyboard: Micheal Van Eyes


* The 3rd act at 4pm is Parlour Steps http://www.myspace.com/parloursteps

They've been compared to such acts as Arcade Fire and XTC and would fit in nicely between the two. They're currently a featured band in The Peak Performance Project, and are guests at this year's Bumbershoot Festival in Seattle.

We'll see you there. Did I mention it was free?
