Vancouver Songwriter To Embark On Second Cross Country Tour This Year In Support Of 2012 EP Kindness, Continues To Prepare For Upcoming 2013 Release.  

With a year of notable accomplishments under his belt, including being named one of BC’s top 20 unsigned artists in the Peak Performance Project and a large collection of film and television placements, Jordan Klassen has been going local and asking Vancouverites to share their favourite locations in their city. The initiative is encouraging people take instagram photos of these spots and tweet them with the hash tag #VanCorners. Klassen has filmed a series of acoustic performance videos filmed on location at his favourite #VanCorners and has released the first three of four. In the meantime, he is preparing to head out of Vancouver with Mike Edel for the second national tour this year to road test the songs from his upcoming 2013 album. All tour dates are below.

Their sound is “Music for the head, the heart & the trousers. And still improving in the bottle.” as cited on their website

While on tour with The Ataris. Flatfoot 56 will be stopping by Doc Willoughby’s for their won show here in Kelowna.  It’s always great to see bands enroute from Vancouver-Calgary, stopping by our town!

Playing a positive-natured brand of hardcore-tinged Celtic punk, Flatfoot 56 has been unleashing itself upon America and the rest of the world for over 10 years now. Forming in 2000, the Chicago natives achieved nationwide attention with their first two label-backed records, 2006’s Knuckles Up and 2007’s Jungle of the Midwest Sea. These releases built on a heavy dose of previously established regional notoriety, helping the band gain steam early on.

Vancouver Based Four Piece From Kelowna To Hit The Road In Support Of Their Third Full Length Album “No Can Do” , Out October 9^th On Triple Crown Audio Recordings Of Canada. They will perform in Kelowna on October 21 with Baby Eagle and the Proud Mothers. All Tour Dates Listed Below.

Album Artwork, Photos & Details:

“No Can Do” is the group’s third studio album. It’s also their most assertive and soul stirring yet, available on CD/LP/Digital via Triple Crown (home to fine recordings by Destroyer along with Ladyhawk-affiliated SPORTS and Duffy & The Doubters). Featuring 10 Duffy Driediger (lead vocals, guitar) penned songs performed in the telekinetic way only Darcy Hancock (lead guitar, vocals), Sean Hawryluk (bass, vocals), and Ryan Peters(drums, vocals) can, “No Can Do” (*no relation to Hall & Oates, Chromeo or Kiwi chanteuse Ladyhawke while we’re at it) rips hard and harder. Recorded at The HIVE Creative Labs with Colin Stewart (+ electro-acoustic help from Black Mountain/Lightning Dust’s Joshua Wells), mastered by audio guru Jeff Lipton (Bon Iver, Destroyer-Kaputt, Numero Group) with the good people at Chicago Mastering Service handling the crucial vinyl lacquer cut, the results are rebel rousing to say the least.

Having watched Ladyhawk evolve from “The Dugout” (“Ladyhawk”, 2006), “War” (“Fight For Anarchy” EP, 2007), and “You Ran” (“Shots”, 2008) to its current perch as grizzled (but always lovable) veterans of the Canadian music landscape, I can guarantee that this album will fuck you up something good. Don’t believe me??? Try it for yourself any way you see fit. Stand and be counted at one of their upcoming live shows, listen to “No Can Do” outside (*equally effective in mother nature as accompaniment for your daily street beat rituals) or even as a soundtrack to your next house party. Whatever shape your support takes, don’t forget to dance (even if you end up flat on your ass in a beer-soaked Horseshoe Tavern or deep in a puddle at a soggy interior B.C. baseball diamond)!!! Blessed with the ability to lift us high and higher, never loose faith. Ladyhawk will take care of the rest.

BIO
In the words of Bruce Springsteen, “Nothing feels better than blood on blood”. Brothers and front-
men Brian and Bob Sumner share a bond that requires no flattery – a family pact that keeps their music honest and authentic. Their upcoming release I’ll Be There Tomorrow holds true to what their devoted fans know and love; the raw grit of steel string guitar and banjo, the lonesome hum of a harmonica, Bob’s haunting tenor croon, the devastatingly low baritone of brother Brian. Holed up in a log cabin in the mountains of Merritt, B.C. The Sumner Brothers created a true alt-country gem. Their three previous albums have all met with critical acclaim; In The Garage charted in the top 10 for Folk/Roots/Blues on Canadian College Radio; Sumner Brothers – Self Titled placed in The Province Newspaper’s 2008 top ten list, Herohill.com’s top 20 and You Crazy Dreamers’ favorites for 2009 and In The Garage 2 – You’re Last Chance was featured in Slowcoustic’s top Canadian records of 2010 and received 4.5 stars from Americanrootsuk.com.
