\nGet jazzin\u2019
\n<\/i>I\u2019ve never, ever, to this day, had someone give me a good explanation as to why these fests with names like \u201cjazz fest\u201d have bands of all genres playing. Not that I mind: I like all genres. Well, that\u2019s a lie. I mainly like loud rock and roll of various forms. I wish there were more grindcore bands playing at the Victoria International Jazz Fest this year. Like Gore Beyond Necropsy! Maybe next time. For now, you get Tower of Power, Marc Atkinson Trio, and many, many more. Just no Gore Beyond Necropsy. See jazzvictoria.ca<\/a> for all the info.<\/p>\n
