Wednesday, January 20, 2010
The Pub - 10:30pm

We Are Action (solo) -

The mid-90's were good to We Are Action, just as they were good to all of Nova Scotia. Since then, WAA has been rounded by New Brunswick, with hard-edged glasses and soft-edged singing. Is a cover of a band you've never heard of really a cover? Our Festival Organizer says no. radio3.cbc.ca/bands/we-are-action

Julien Simon -

The "5 O'Clock Beers" Showcase.
CHMA Offices - 5:00pm

Pastoralia -

If your parents favourite oldies station featured more guest vocals from David Byrne of The Talking Heads and solos by the synth player from Blondie it might sound something like this, which would be awesome. These nostalgic futurists out of Halifax make great Art.www.myspace.com/pastoraliaband

A/V -

An Atlantic Canadian electro pioneer, A/V has been plying his spastic dance-beat trade since the turn of the century. Using synthesizers and drum machines this New Brunswick native makes real live hot dance music.www.myspace.com/avhotaction

Oromocto Diamond -

Hailing from Quebec city these mining enthusiasts play fast-paced, synth drenched, electro-rock. Fun for the whole family and sure to meet all official language requirements.www.myspace.com/oromoctodiamond

Gianna Lauren -

Ottawa/Halifax songstress makes a return trip to Stereophonic. Her haunting vocal spirals and will keep your heart warm and your beer cold (and remind you of Mark Brownlee for some reason). www.myspace.com/giannalauren

Ryan McGrath -

Whether sharing the stage with stellar musical colleagues like Buck 65, Matt Mays and Gentleman Reg, amazing an audience in front of a full band complete with barbershop quartet or quietly captivating the room with a haunting solo set, Ryan never demands but rather powerfully elicits admiration. www.myspace.com/ryansmacgrath

Cousins -

The sweetest bedtime stories delivered in a vegetable oil school bus (really). Cousins are not to be trusted, masking their darkest secrets behind gorgeous harmonies and catchy guitar power.www.myspace.com/cousinscousins

Olenka Krakus -

Olenka is travelling solo, and without the Autumn Lovers by her side, her voice is even more apparent. The Vogue will play perfect host to her towering, cinematic lyrics and deep post-Soviet dark side.www.myspace.com/olenkalovers

Saturday, January 23, 2010
Struts Gallery - 7:00pm

Robert Blackbeard and The News

The kind of high school sweethearts you can bring home to mom. Their three drum kits, three guitars and three sweet sets of pipes are the best thing to come out of Tantramar Regional since the uncompromising West Ave.

El Ron Maltan -

Sometime you have to roll the hard six. El Ron rolls it every day. Fresh off a massive Japanese tour he has made the long haul back to Sackville to rock Struts Gallery. www.myspace.com/elronmaltan

Construction and Destruction -

As their name suggests, David and Colleen, the duo that makes up Construction and Destruction, are like two opposing forces. Their music consists of Girl / Boy vocals bickering atop bass heavy art-pop melodies and it is awesome. www.myspace.com/davidtrenaman

The Bad Arts -

Do you like triangles? How about triangle music. This Halifax based trio makes pointy, epileptic post-punk. Demonstrating just the right mix of restraint and recklessness these hit-makers are sure to put you in the mood for rock. www.myspace.com/thebadbadarts

Saturday, January 23, 2010
The Rock Show
George's Fabulous Roadhouse - 10:00pm

The John Wayne Cover Band -

Guilty sweet like the first cigarette of the morning and as brooding as leather chaps on an unwashed horse whisperer. JWCB can rock a legion or a church but are at home in the magnificent squalor of George's Fabulous Roadhouse.www.myspace.com/johnwaynecoverband

Adam Mowery -

The Port City Players will burn you to the ground. Remember the first time you heard Hendrix? Adam Mowery will make you forget it (along with your wife, children and ethical code of conduct.) www.myspace.com/adammowerysmyspace

Shotgun Jimmie -

Though you may not have heard him, his illegal farmers union and mystery band are as sticky as Saturday morning pancakes. The wild East's fabulous golden boy is immortalized by bathroom stall graffiti across the lawless frontier. Road warriors beware, Jimmie will sit you down and show you the err of your ways through endearing stage banter and goofy haircuts.www.myspace.com/jimjimers

New Royalty -

A product of Ritalin medication, free beers and sweat tastes like P.E.I. potatoes, New Royalty brings the dance ruckus. Romper-stomping like Russel Crowe and defining public policy like N.W.A. they have taken the Maritimes for a ride. Anne of Green Gables was a silly girl with red hair, New Royalty are the true crowned kings and queens of Prince Edward Island.www.myspace.com/newroyaltypei
