The James T. Kirks
Saturday, September 1, 2007
The Tofino Legion
Tickets $12, Doors 8pmEdmonton's kings of Instrumental Punk Surf Rock are still at it after 13 whiskey soaked years of rawknroll madness. The James T. Kirks are still alive, still kickin ass, still breakin hearts, and still corrupting youth, just as they always have. Much like Elvis in his famed 1968 comeback special, the James T. Kirks have decided to re-ignite the tiki-torch of Edmonton surf punk and to soldier on in the face of vicious opposition from concerned parents, church groups and several PTAs.

Sweatshop Union
Saturday, September 8, 2007
Tofino Legion
Tickets $15, Doors 9pmSweatshop Union is not just a hip hop group with diverse vocal styles and crisp, soulful beats--they are the breath of fresh air that hip hop fans have been waiting for. Originally operating as four independent units (Kyprios, Dirty Circus, Creative Minds, and Innocent Bystanders), the Sweatshop Union Collective came together to offer an alternative to the seemingly repetitive, negative-natured release of rap music.
Wil
Saturday, September 15, 2007
Tofino Legion
Tickets $12, Doors 9pmWith just his acoustic guitar and his voice Wil belts out a sound that could come from a four piece band. He creates a powerful musical punch on stage that leaves his audiences reeling. His sound is "electro-acoustic", he plugs into a smorgasbord of foot pedals. A clear acoustic guitar, overtop of distortion, with heavy bass tones filling out the bottom. His songwriting style is a packed with imagery, powerfully backed by his brilliant and intricate guitar style and delivered by a commanding vocal that is truly inspirational. Immediately reminiscent of Ryan Adams, with maybe a bit of Hayden, Wil's approach to his guitar is striking and his clear booming voice impressive, but it is his slide guitar that will finally win you over. Wil will be touring as a 2 piece for this show with his drummer. Wil has built a dedicated following for his famously intense live shows.
Grim Skunk
Friday, September 21, 2007
Tofino Legion
Tickets $12, Doors 9pmHeavy rock with punk, strong melodies and psychedelic tendencies, the unique sound that has made GrimSkunk stand out on the musical landscape is as strong as ever. Elaborate gleefully grim keyboards, crunching raw guitars, powerful drumming and melodic vocals, make their unique and eclectic sound all theirs. For over fifteen years now GrimSkunk has proven themselves to be unstoppable, exerting a ferocious blend of what is best described as "hybrid rock" to all ears that cross their path. Based out of Montreal, Grimskunk have criss crossed north America and Europe. Known best for their live performances, GrimSkunk's raw energy and live intensity has been the catalyst to the creation of legions of committed fans.
The Besnard Lakes w. The Hylozoists
Saturday, September 29, 2007
The Tofino Legion
Tickets $12, Doors 9pmRich with Beach Boys style harmonies, Roy Orbison reverbs and orchestra, Pink Floyd's pacing and Freddy Mercury's falsetto, The Besnard Lakes have shown that they are masters of finely-honed experimental pop songs that invoke the eerie Lynchian setting as aided and abetted by the music of Julee Cruise. For those not accustomed to challenging music, The Besnard Lakes might remind you of the Beach Boys played on the wrong rpm.
