4 OF VANCOUVER'S BEST TRIBUTE BANDS TOGETHER FOR ONE NIGHT ONLY!

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. "Unknown Soldiers might just be the city’s best cover band... bringing a remarkable intensity to their shows, feeding off the audience's energy and turning each performance into an alcohol-fueled, quasi-spiritual journey." - Inside Vancouver (midnight) http://www.theunknownsoldiers.info

CRAZY DIAMONDS - In the 4 years they've been together, Vancouver's one and only PINK FLOYD tribute act has already built up a sizable following playing clubs like The Media Club, Railway Club and Backstage Lounge. These musicians are serious about honoring the music of Pink Floyd and delivering a powerful live show that presents the best of their mindblowing, psychedelic music.

MIDNIGHT LIGHTNING - 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!

The DAY TRIPPERS celebrate the exuberant early '60s spirit of THE BEATLES as they exploded onto the world stage between 1962 and 1966. Honouring the legacy of iconic Fab Four singles, this new Vancouver-based tribute features members of Sweetheart, Beluga and February March. Inspired by mod culture and a love of blues and pop music, The Day Trippers deliver the indelible music of The Beatles at their energetic peak, taking you back to a time when they toured the world while releasing dozens of sensational songs every year!
