Wednesday, October 3
\n<\/strong>B-Real, Pocket Kings, Sirreal, JM Drumbeats, DJ Speedy Shoes
\n<\/strong>Club 90ne9, $25, 9 pm
\n<\/strong>Ever since the smoking ban came about in BC, it must really be hard for these guys to get away with their herbacious hobbies. I mean, at least back in the day you might be able to make it look like you were just smoking a cigarette. Hell, nowadays the bouncer might even toss the band out for smoking onstage. B-Real is from Cypress Hill. It\u2019s not a place; it\u2019s a hip-hop group.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Thursday, October 4
\n<\/strong>Rise Against, Gaslight Anthem, Hot Water Music
\n<\/strong>Save-On-Foods Memorial Centre, $29.50-$43, 6 pm
\n<\/strong>My little sister is so excited about this show. She got tickets for her birthday, so she\u2019s taking the French exchange student that\u2019s visiting right now. I don\u2019t even think that she\u2019s ever been to a real concert before.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Friday, October 5
\n<\/strong>Acres of Lions, Fall in Archaea, Transit, Everyone Everywhere, The Harbour Sound
\n<\/strong>Logan\u2019s Pub, $10, 9 pm
\n<\/strong>\u201cI never got a reaction from you. Even when I pushed and pulled at you. Even when I screamed and called your name, there was no reaction from you.\u201d For some reason my son just loves that tune by Acres of Lions. Maybe it\u2019s the catchy bit when the singer\u2019s heart is beating \u201cbah bah, bah bah.\u201d That\u2019s all I need for a song to get stuck in my head. Just repeat a \u201cwoo hoo\u201d or a \u201cyeah, yeah, yeah\u201d or even a \u201chey, hey\u201d and I\u2019m done for. It gets embedded in my brain for days. I\u2019m no scientist, but there must be some science behind that kind of thing.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Friday, October 5
\n<\/strong>Dustin Bentall and the Smokes, Ryan Guldemond
\n<\/strong>Lucky Bar, $15, 8 pm
\n<\/strong>I heard Dustin Bentall sing the anthem at a Canucks game once. It sounded pretty damn good. He was singing with his dad (a.k.a. Barney Bentall), though, so it was like this beautiful proud moment of father\/son harmonizing. Come to think of it, he might\u2019ve opened for another band I went to see. You know how sometimes you\u2019re just so intent on the headliner that no matter how good the opening band is, they might as well be playing polka hits from the \u201950s? Yeah, it might have been something like that.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Saturday, October 6
\n<\/strong>Scimitar, Robot Metropolis, Pledge of Arrogance
\n<\/strong>Logan\u2019s Pub, $8, 9 pm
\n<\/strong>Have you ever tried to do any Flash animation? I\u2019m trying to figure it out right now for a project. I had high hopes, but I think I\u2019m going to need to start small. It\u2019s either that or I get some coaching from a friend of mine. He gets paid to do Flash. Must be nice. One of the guys in Scimitar spent some serious hours plugging away at a Flash project. I got a chance to voice a character in his story. Turned out to be pretty damn funny. Ask him about it if you go to this show. Tell him I sent you.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Thursday, October 11
\n<\/strong>Andre Nickatina, Mistah F.A.B., Mumbls
\n<\/strong>Club 90ne9, $25, 9 pm
\n<\/strong>One of my buddies can just spout new lyrics to well-known tunes without any preparation. No matter where we are or what we\u2019re doing, he just throws something out there and it sounds perfect. I can\u2019t even do it justice by trying to explain it to you right now. You just kind of have to be there, in the moment. It\u2019s uncanny, really. Sure, he\u2019s really into music, plays guitar like nobody\u2019s business, spins some records and stuff, but he\u2019s got some \u201cWeird Al\u201d type of talent that\u2019s quite amazing. Oh, and he loves Andre Nickatina.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Sunday, October 14
\n<\/strong>Stanton Warriors, Drumsound and Bassline Smith, Whoa, Grenade!
\n<\/strong>Upstairs Cabaret, $20, 10 PM
\n<\/strong>People love to dance. It\u2019s a broad generalization, but it\u2019s true. Moving your body to music is just such a natural thing. It\u2019s not like everybody knows how to do it. I\u2019m pretty sure the majority of those on the dance floor at any given moment look ridiculous. Some are downright comical. Therein lays the beauty. When someone can just let loose with reckless abandon and lose themselves in the moment, that\u2019s a beautiful thing. I usually laugh my ass off from the side of the dance floor. It\u2019s pure entertainment, much like Stanton Warriors breaks.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
