PANURGE: One of only two local shows during their nine-month studio hibernation.
"Panurge’s Throw Down The Reins is every bit as good as (Velvet Underground's) Loaded... do yourself a favor and go out and buy this modern
pop masterpiece now" (Best Albums of 2004 list) - Detroit Metro Times

BEEKEEPERS: Three embattled brothers and a disadvantaged cousin. A stubborn allegiance to the Kinks, the Who, and the Beach Boys. Songs about pork products, spelunking, and psychosis. First local show in six months.
"Spot-on harmonies, sweet hooks and stellar musicianship" - Exclaim Magazine

SECOND: Local fivesome, still in their teens, very likely to appeal to those who are fans of their heroes, Radiohead and Sigur Ros.
"There are some wonderfully subtle elements at play in these eight songs, like the cello that adds a touch of quiet-storm melodrama to “In One Footstep”, or the backward loops, shifting time signatures, and dissonant guitar lines of “Curses”. Second proves itself just as capable of rocking out on the angular “Pace Yourself”, which boasts stop-start rhythms and interwoven guitar melodies that any math-rock act would be proud to have conceived... These guys clearly have the chops and ambition to take them well beyond any slavish imitation of their heroes." -The Georgia Straight
