WHISKEY CHIEF
This lively band of misfits will slap you in the face and throw you on the dance floor with their funky jams and savage grooves.
New on the scene is Vancouver's Whiskey Chief - a band that has quickly amassed a fast-growing and devoted following, building a reputation as one of Vancouver's finest (and most out of control) party bands. Refreshingly all instrumental, Whiskey Chief consists of a slick (oiled with whiskey of course) rhythm machine of epic proportions, fronted by a dizzying horn section that will trample you with it's cascading melodies. Whiskey Chief's irresistible, drunken, chaotic, shitshow charm will make you dance, laugh, cry, sing, and perhaps even lose your mind.
JACKIE TREEHORN
Jackie Treehorn is a funkadelic/soultastic/rockaphonic six-piece sound-storm! With funky, upbeat original tunes that simmer up a retro flavour, the dance floor gets bumping when this beat bustin' troupe lays down their heavy grooves and sassy dance choreography. Known for their high energy live shows and phenomenal musicianship, Jackie Treehorn turns every venue into fun filled explosion of a party that rocks the body and mind. Featuring four vocalists, keytar, guitar, bass and drums, Jackie Treehorn is what the Georgia Straight called a "funk-soul demolition crew".
MAGMATIC
Magmatic is a four piece funk and groove band that looks to carve out a funky sound that will keep your hips swingin' and your mind trippin'. Fronted by a trample you down soind of Q's dizzying keys they have been compared to funky greats like Edgar Winter.
