The increasingly hip-a-fied streets of Gastown fill with the sounds of live music June 21, 5 to 10 p.m., for the second annual Make Music Vancouver. Aiming to, deep breath, "create engagement within the community on a multitude of levels, promoting environmental awareness and an appreciation of the arts," the free event features more than 150 musical acts performing everything from rock to classical, jazz to heavy metal. What about Celtic-funk with a side of didgeridoo, you and your weedy roommates may be asking. Well, you'll have to check it out for yourselves, bro. More info at makemusicvancouver.ca.
If we reach back far enough into the spaghetti-like jumble of gray matter that is our memory, we can recall at least a dozen all-ages shows in the mid to late '90s where we saw the venerable Vancouver punk-pop band Gob holding court. We don't know what happened to them the last decade, or why bands like Blink 182 or Sum 41 (which now employs singer/guitarist Thom Thacker) rose to the top of the heap, but Gob is back in action and playing Venue, June 21. Time to feel old. Tickets at Red Cat, Zulu or ticketweb.ca.
There was a time, way back when we were slimmer and care-free, that Anacortes, Wash.-based singer-songwriter Phil Elverum released his textured, lo-fi indie pop goodness under the moniker The Microphones. But since 2005, he's been calling his musical project Mount Eerie, which was the name of The Microphones' final album. Confused? Don't be. All your questions will be answered when Mount Eerie performs June 21 at the Rickshaw in support of the beautifully lush release Clear Moon. Hungry Cloud Darkening, Motorbikes and the Dyeing Merchants open. Tickets at Red Cat, Zulu or liveatrickshaw.com.
