\nGet strange
\n<\/i>Feeling depressingly normal these days?\u00a0Then strange it up with Strange Breed at\u00a0The Rubber Boot Club on September 19. These folks celebrate life\u2019s wonderful weirdness with their truly magnetic selves and really good music\u2014kind of a mix of Tegan and Sara, White Stripes, and Ozzy Osbourne. It\u2019s loud yet lyrical, it\u2019s feminist and LGBTQ-supportive, and it\u2019s wonderfully weird. Doors are at 8:30 pm, and tickets are $10 in advance or $13 at the door; see rubberbootclub.com<\/a> for more info on this and other events.<\/p>\n

\nKorea at Camosun
\n<\/i>Camosun International and Camosun\u2019s school of Arts and Science are bringing the annual Camosun Korean Festival back to Lansdowne on September 19.

Free; see camosun.ca<\/a> for more info.<\/p>\n

\nGetting\u00a0indie with it
\n<\/i>Nothing lights the spirit like an evening with indie group West My Friend. Part chamber folk, part Cascadia, the band\u2019s music is pretty and heartwarming, yet meaningful as well. This is an album-release gig, complete with a 53-piece orchestra. Good swag and good cheer should be abundant.\u00a0The performance is in the\u00a0Alix\u00a0Goolden\u00a0Performance Hall; doors open at 7 pm, and tickets are $25. See vcm.bc.ca\/alix-goolden-hall<\/a> for more info on this and other upcoming concerts.<\/p>\n

\nLook who\u2019s laughing now!
\n<\/i>Wander down into\u00a0The Duke\u00a0Saloon to attend\u00a0The Human Condition Comedy Tour on Saturday, September 21. The three comedians\u00a0are funny, and they\u2019re also really good people, as they are\u00a0supporting\u00a0The Greater\u00a0Victoria Animal Crusaders\u00a0with this show.\u00a0What better way is there to bring people\u00a0together than with\u00a0laughter and a love of fuzzy beasts?\u00a0The comedians\u2014Scott Porteous, Shawn\u00a0Gramiak, and Frank Russo\u2014are\u00a0funny enough to\u00a0risk\u00a0the possibility\u00a0of\u00a0a glass-throwing bar fight (this is at The Duke, after all).\u00a0Just kidding: just bring your your sense of humour and your love of animals and it will be a sidesplitting and heartwarming evening. The show starts at 7 pm, and tickets are $15. See thedukesaloon.com<\/a> for more info on this and other upcoming events.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
