Monday at the Gator – Hank and Lily

Goats from Above presents..Hank Pine and Lily Fawn are a vaudeville-inspired duo from Victoria, British Columbia, whose act is based upon the tragic and hilarious adventures of their comic book series. Like the great acts of old, the music covers many genres, yet all stems from a punk rock ethic, and an appreciation for the delicate art of entertaining.

Hank is a tall, dark, and mysterious figure in goggles and a mask that carries his dead girlfriend around in a garbage bag, plays the cello, keyboards, guitars, ukulele, accordion, drums and whatever else he can get his hands on.

Lily, a half-deer, half-human forest creature, that tap-dances and plays the musical saw, the trumpet, the theremin, the flute, and hits the drums like a six-foot sledgehammer.
This debut double album, “The Road to New Orleans…” serves as a soundtrack to the first two issues of their comic book, and showcases both their adoration of all music forms and manic sense of humour.

Collective Friday at the Habitat

Tired of the normal bar crowd and tweenstars? Looking for a more sonically mature scene than the regular Top 40/prosti-tot requests? This Friday, JPOD the Beat Chef and Habitat present Pat MacGibbon on Jazz sax and Stuart Yanow of the Grand Bazaar on synths and samples. We’re offering a 21+ crowd (although anyone is welcome), and serving up a platter of world beats, funk, acid baselines and downtempo.
