Thursday, February 9<\/strong>
\nTanya Stephens, Kia Kadiri, Ndidi Cascade, Elaine Lil\u2019 Bit Shepherd, Skyla J, Tank Gyal
\n<\/em>Club 9ONE9, $25, 10 pm<\/p>\n

I\u2019m pretty sure that there\u2019s a small community of people living in Victoria that absolutely freak out when they discover that any legitimate and well-known reggae artist is coming to town. Well, if I\u2019m right, Tanya Stephens would be plenty reason for them to get excited.<\/p>\n

Saturday, February 11<\/strong>
\nThe Cheesecake Burlesque Revue: Bump & Grind Valentine
\n<\/em>Metro Studio, $25, 6:30 pm<\/p>\n

Soundsssss sweeeeeet. Seriously though, this sounds fun, go with a partner. A sexy, sexy partner.<\/p>\n

Friday, February 10 and Saturday, February 11<\/strong>
\nSong and Surf
\n<\/em>Port Renfrew, $40-$55<\/p>\n

The fourth-annual Song and Surf festival is coming to scenic Port Renfrew, with more than a dozen local musicians, including Steph MacPherson, JP Maurice, Bucan Bucan, and Quoia, as well as local DJs Murge, Generic, Nigel, and Science of Defiance. Tickets for the two-day festival are a measly $55 in advance, and passes for the Saturday only are $40 at Coastline Sports (1417 Broad St) and Higher Ground (760 Yates, in the Odeon Alley).<\/p>\n

Sunday, February 12<\/strong>
\nThe Be Good Tanyas, Lucy Wainwright Roche
\n<\/em>Alix Goolden Performance Hall, $25, 7 pm<\/p>\n

When looking up words to accurately describe the Be Good Tanyas an advertisement came up for Fear Factor<\/em>, which honestly couldn\u2019t have been more directly opposite of everything that the Be Good Tanyas stand for. This one just fell into my lap. Girls with pretty voices and country-lookin\u2019 hats.<\/p>\n

Wednesday, February 15<\/strong>
\nChali 2na, Pidgen Hole, DJ Murge
\n<\/em>Club9ONE9, $20, 8 pm<\/p>\n

Ultra smooth MC and former member of the legendary rap group Jurassic 5 Chali has a sorta old school vibe, with just expertly mixed beats.<\/p>\n

Thursday, February 16<\/strong>
\nAraabMuzik, Jim-E Stack
\n<\/em>Club9ONE9, $18, 9 pm<\/p>\n

Okay, this guy has to be seen to be believed. Lots of artists talk shit, but AraabMuzik delivers gold. He\u2019s an amazing artist, composer, and DJ. His fingers be all like, \u201cBrrrrrzzzzzzssssttttttttt\u00a0 bump bump bump bump bump bump bump bump click click, shuggggggidddyyyyy brrrrrzzzzzzssssttttttttt.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
