Summer's Last StandSaturday, September 7thDoors: 8 PM | 8:30 PMAdvance: $15 | Door: $2019+ | ID Required
End off the summer right with some tunes by Corduroy Aspect, The Sylvia Platters, Rashdale and Teenage Art Scene. Bring some friends and hearing protection if that’s the sort of thing you’re in to. 
Corduroy Aspect:Punk/Alternative from Vic
Sylvia Platters:Keen appreciation for melody and melancholy is The Sylvia Platters’ stock in trade. Described by Rosy Overdrive as “one of the best guitar pop bands going,” the Abbotsford band has been crafting idiosyncratic janglepop gems since 2014. Their indelible lyrics are set against bright, tuneful guitar work, dark, steady basslines, and propulsive drums. Vivian Elixir, released spring 2024 on Grey Lodge Records, reached #7 on the national !earshot campus and community radio charts and earned the band Best Rock Artist at the Fraser Valley Music Awards.
Rashdale:Alternative / Metal / Punk from Victoria
Teenage Art Scene:Hailing from Victoria, B.C., Rupert Yakelashek continues the tradition of diy rock and pop under the guise of his power-pop-fuelled project Teenage Art Scene. With nods to Pixies, Guided by Voices, the Strokes and Sloan, Teenage Art Scene’s hooks, fuzzed-out riffs and soaring melodies are as big, bright and slick as they come.

Diamond DayFrom janky glitch-pop drums to jangly guitars on the verge of explosion; Diamond Day reshape shoegaze into their hazy electro dreamworld. Led by Rosier’s Béatrix Méthé and Grammy-nominated multi-instrumentalist, Quinn Bachand, the project began when Quinn moved to Boston as a teenager. The pair discovered an undeniable synergy after meeting at a music festival. Every weekend, Quinn would hop on a Montréal-bound greyhound to write, record and develop songs in Béatrix’s plateau apartment. Their debut record, Connect the Dots, is a “hypnotic and shoegazey alt-pop fever dream.” Méthé and Bachand enlisted a dream pop A-team–including producers Jorge Elbrecht and feeble little horse’s Sebastian Kinsler–to synthesize their expansive aesthetic over 10 tracks. Méthé’s magnetic vocals, catchy hooks and stream-of-consciousness lyrics became the band’s razor-sharp focus, cutting through Bachand's billowing noise-pop soundscapes and creating retro-futuristic euphoria.
Chilko in the RosemaryChilko in the Rosemary is a full bodied three-piece experience from Victoria, BC, blurring the lines of rock and pop, augmented with surfable waves of funk and soul. Their catchy melodies and animated performance create a happy atmosphere suited for all to enjoy the way they want. Chilko will trigger the dancer in you, whether you dance like a hurricane, groove like a gorilla, or chill like a sloth. The vibe is one size fits all.

The evening will also include performances by Pindian, and Cameron Schaefer.

A community and a collective of musicians, who work with dancers, artists and circus performers to bring the weird and wonderful to the stage. Combining sounds of art rock, nu-wave. surf rock, burn barrel barber shop quartets, and lost n found 33s in forgotten roadside thrift stores. Singer, songwriter, storyteller and clown Steve Craik is joined by long time friend, collaborator and drummer Brendan Pye, Alex Moore on keys and synth, Jeff Birmongham on trumpet, Josh Stull on Bass and Adam Cleland on the lead guitar.

Pindian:Pindian is a Kwakwa̲ka̲'wakw and Nuu-Cha-Nulth MC born on lək̓ʷəŋən Territory (A.K.A Victoria B.C) who in 3 years of sobriety, has found immense healing in expressing themselves through lyricism in the genre of Hip Hop which they view to be an innovative, creative-native continuation of their nation’s tradition of storytelling, told through artistic practices since time immemorial.
Pindian started performing in the Summer Season of 2022 and since then has shared their songs on various stages and venues both in Victoria and Vancouver such as the Vancouver Playhouse for the 3rd International Indigenous Hip Hop Awards’ Trade Show at the Vancouver Playhouse and UVIC’s Farquhar Auditorium.
They aim to honour the roots of their culture and old school Hip Hop while sharing their stories through rhyme which make statements about healing through the intergenerational, traumatic effects of colonization, honouring their west coast lineage while also embracing tricksterism and having a few laughs and a good time while doing so.They are also a mural artist, painter, theatre performer and facilitator of workshops.
Cameron Schaefer:A new favorite in the Victoria music scene, Cameron Schaefer played keyboards in rock, blues and jazz bands for many years. Now he writes and performs his own songs. You’ll laugh, you’ll cry, you’ll spit up on yourself.

Canadian fiddler Frankie Rodgers composed Ookpik Waltz in 1965. By the early 1970s, it had lost its title, its composer was unknown, and fiddlers around North America had invented a mythical provenance for it, based on Hollywood’s inaccurate portrayals of Native American and First Nations’ music.The Mystery of the Ookpik restores credit to Frankie Rodgers and his rich performing and recording career. It shows how his Ukrainian heritage colored his composition and performance of Ookpik Waltz. It explains his move to New Zealand, after Canadian radio’s adherence to American broadcast trends left him without an audience. It details how Ookpik Waltz entered the fiddle contest scene, and how it was folk processed so that Rodgers’ original recording is viewed as “wrong” by contemporary audiences.
Joe Weed, Producer and Director of The Mystery of the Ookpik, has released seven albums of his own, produced many projects for independent artists and labels, and composes scores for film, TV, and museums. Ken Burns features one of Joe’s compositions in his 2023 documentary “The American Buffalo,” broadcast nationally on PBS, as well as in “The Mayo Clinic,” also broadcast on PBS.Joe produced and directed “The Waltz to Westphalia,” a 55-minute documentary film that tells the fascinating story of a Polish folk song’s metamorphosis into an American country fiddle classic, known in the US as “The Westphalia Waltz.” An expert on the life and music of Stephen Foster, he produced “Swanee, The Music of Stephen Foster.” Combining his research, storytelling, and musicianship, he has informed and inspired audiences on both sides of the Pacific about America’s first professional songwriter. In 2018, Joe released “Two Steps West of the Mississippi,” a collection of his original instrumental music based on American fiddle roots. He continues to produce acoustic music at his Highland Studios near Los Gatos, California.
