It's a Night of the Living Dead, classic rock style! Hosted Come celebrate the spirit of Halloween with 3 killer bands that will have you screaming all night long! Come dressed as your favourite dead rock star and join our delightfully costumed musical spectres - rock'n'roll will never die!

The UNKNOWN SOLDIERS come amazingly close to replicating the music of The Doors note for note while capturing their raw energy through each band member's interpretation, combining to deliver a groovy reproduction of a live Doors show that keeps audiences in a head-bobbing, toe-tapping trance. Their singer's Morrison-esque look, vibe and baritone voice combine with swirling organs and deft musicianship to captivate and transcend time and place, allowing audiences to be transported back in time to experience a taste of live shows that are now a part of rock mythology. http://www.theunknownsoldiers.info

BLACK SUGAR is a refreshingly exciting band among the latest crop of intelligent and imaginative hard-rock hopefuls emerging from Vancouver's bountiful music scene. Powered by the winning charisma and multi-octaved Cornellian pipes of lead singer Rob Krys, Black Sugar carves out a gripping and unique blend of prog-fusion chops and funk-tinged hard rock. http://www.myspace.com/blacksugarvancouver

MIDNIGHT LIGHTNING Hendrix Tribute - The pure musical genius of JIMI HENDRIX made him one of the most influential guitarists ever in modern music. Self-taught and left-handed, he perfected the deliberate use of distortion and feedback to complement his natural virtuoso ability while exuding unequaled charisma, raw talent and creativity to deliver some of the most revolutionary music of the 20th Century. Featuring Mike Zyke of The Unknown Soldiers, be sure to come out and take in this timeless music as Midnight Lightning deliver their loving tribute to the anthemic and transcendent Hendrix experience! http://www.myspace.com/518648330
