Born of bush party ashes, Nelson's BC/DC has systematically redefined the concept of a tribute band. Unlike many tribute acts claiming to be "North America's #1 Clone", BC/DC has turned the tables. The band takes a comedic approach, claiming the tunes as their own, and to having "heard of some BC/DC tribute band from Australia".

Who Killed the Electric Car? In 1997, GM launched the ev-1 electric vehicle with great fanfare. It was the first perfect car of the modern age, requiring no gas, no oil, no mufflers, and no brake changes. Fast forward to 6 years later...the fleet is dead. The truth behind its demise resembles the outcome of a murder mystery - multiple suspects, with each taking their turn with the knife. 2006 Sundance Film Festival Official Selection

The Tofino Legion
Tickets $12, Doors 9pm
A bewitching throb of cascading drums, you'd swear they were on the war path, till a pure rock and roll howl and sharp guitar hooks bring you back to the indie universe. Amidst the shouts and claps and the odd trombone slur, a tenderness somehow shrouds the whole thing, there's something saintly about them after all.
Hey Oceans mellow
guitar grooves, eargasmic vocals, and upbeat jazzy licks keep listeners comfortably sitting, standing, or dancing, while they are washed out to sea and carefully brought back to shore. Passionate voices, pensive words, and frivolous fun keep this music honest and pure: from the heart, for the soul.
