Van-city, Day One










































The band played three shows in Vancouver. The first was at a fantastic deck party hosted by Joy and Jacob from the band The People Versus.

It was a great afternoon of music on a roof deck overlooking Commercial Drive. A couple of my favourites were the the bands e.s.l. and Johnny Wakeham and Featherwolf. e.s.l.'s singer Marta has a really cool voice. She also plays with the band girl nobody, who have a new album coming out on Jericho Beach this September.

After the deck party Slow Down played a set at Hokos, a cool little venue/sushi/karaoke bar. I played the mini piano for a couple songs. The owner filmed a lot of the show and posted it on YouTube (click the link). The All Purpose Voltage Heroes also played an extremely energetic set, while dressed in construction outfits and making boxes. Check them out, they really rock. Ryan Walter Wagner rounded out the night with an acoustic solo set.
