Kelowna Concert season – 2006 is here!!

Ok, 2006 is shapping up to be pretty good. Not many big concerts coming our way yet. Motley Crue is on April 8th, but this month we have DOA playing the Well and the Black Halos playing OKM Hall. I’m sure the Well and the Habitat will have some more upcoming shows.

If Flashback’s plan to continue to have bands on Thursday nights, hopefully they will promote them. The Rubbermaids and Life are playing the OK Corral on Jan. 25th. Of course, the annual Nickelback show is here on Jan. 19th. If there were tickets available I would say its worth going to see Live and Danko Jones.

The Trews are announcing a tour next week and hopefully it will include a Kelowna stop. It would be great if Sam Roberts passed through the valley since he hasn’t played here since July 2003 for Wakefest. I’m hoping to see The Novaks or Matt Mays play in the area in the spring.

I’m surpised with Aerosmith and Bon Jovi playing in Seattle over the next few months, no word on a possible show. I guess they’re not even playing Vancouver so probably no show here. My fingers are crossed for The Who this summer. AT the very least, they should be playing 5 hrs away at the Gorge.

Cheers,

Dec 8th show at the Habitat

I saw this listed on Kelownagigs.com

When: Thursday, December 8, 2005
Where: Habitat
Bands:
The Cape May
Run Chico Run
The Dudes

Wow, I listed to this song on the Cape May website. Really cool stuff.

The Cape May is a Calgary-based four piece based around the enigmatic and powerful songwriting of Clinton St.John.
The songs are haunting, lush, winding compositions that enrapture the listener in Clinton’s lyrical storytelling.

Run Chico Run
“Driving saturated grainy keyboards like an angry yet geekier type of indie Yes meets debut-era Elvis Costello with an affinity to the Beatles. Ideal awkward punk style breaks in the beats and minor explosions each time the keys make a change. Perfect stuff.” – Exclaim!

They have 3 albums out, the third album produced by Kelowna’s Kevin Kane. There website describes the album best… “Filled with mouth-watering guitar histrionics, a rhythm section that would do the Entwistle/Moon axis proud, thought-provoking lyrics & cavity-inducing ear candy, Star Collector’s third album ‘Flash-Arrows & The Money Shot’ will have you screaming out, “Toys!.. Toys!.. Toys!.. In the Arctic!” for these Canadian lads!”

Check out there MP3’s here.
