The CHASE strives to show that retro rock doesn't have to sound like something you've already heard. With great songs, an energetic, charismatic stage presence and an innovative sound that is as original as it is classic, they've quickly proven themselves a force to be reckoned with in the Vancouver music scene. Anyone who sees their live show will recognize that they are the real deal and know that nothing can get in their way. The Chase is on! http://www.myspace.com/wearethechase

CITY OF GLASS specializes in melodic pop-rock that goes from addictively catchy and hip-shaking to heart-on-the-sleeve emotion. Using hypnotic riffs, synthscapes, glockenspiel, snappy beats and clean sounds, their dynamic songs will instantly move you and stick in your head. 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

KUSH - With influences that include Metallica, Led Zeppelin and Stone Temple Pilots, Kush's sound is best described as rock with a metal edge and a touch of old school punk. This intense, high energy band was founded by singer/bassist Lowell Campbell in 2006. Lead guitarist Marinos Stratoplis adds stunning guitar work while drummer Jordan Myer is working his way up to becoming one of the legends of modern drumming. The newest addition to Kush is the very talented Dave Campbell, Lowell's brother, on rhythm guitar. http://www.myspace.com/kushlived

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
