\n<\/strong>Hilltop Hoods, Sweatshop Union
\n<\/em>Club90NE9, 8 pm, $22<\/p>\n

Vancouver rap veterans Sweatshop Union are in town with the Aussies from Hilltop Hoods. If you\u2019re into politically and socially conscious rap, this show\u2019s for you.<\/p>\n

Friday, November 18
\n<\/strong>Jon & Roy, Carmanah
\n<\/em>Sugar, 9 pm, $20<\/p>\n

Both Jon and Roy (yes, seldom found separately) are in Victoria to show that the best part of being a folk-rock band is that their whole is always greater than the sum of their parts. Merrymaking, indeed. With Carmanah opening.<\/p>\n

Saturday, November 19
\n<\/strong>tUnE-YarDs, Pat Jordache, Bank Robber
\n<\/em>Sugar, 9 pm, $18<\/p>\n

Oh, man. This is going to be a good show. The highly cool, highly weird pop-ness of tUnE-YarDs and Pat Jordache grace Victoria. Those not entirely confused and inspired leaving this show aren\u2019t doing it right. Bank Robber start the night.<\/p>\n

Thursday, November 24
\n<\/strong>K-os, The Dirty Mags
\n<\/em>Club90NE9, 9 pm, $25<\/p>\n

It feels like it\u2019s been virtually forever since K-os has released an album, but it doesn\u2019t matter because this guy debatably carried Canadian R&B\/hip-hop for, like, half a decade. Plus, plus! According to the interwebs, we might be seeing a new album for 2012.<\/p>\n

Friday, November 25
\n<\/strong>Andrew W.K.
\n<\/em>Sugar, 8 pm, $22<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve never been more overjoyed to tell you that a band is coming to town. Andrew W.K.! Please, if you\u2019re going to this show, promise me, above all else, that you will party hard.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
