Brooklyn indie band Hospitality released one of the catchiest, craftiest pop albums we’ve heard all year. Plus they’re not afraid to unleash some sweet saxophone when the opportunity presents itself. Hear for yourself when the band plays the Media Club Oct. 10, with guests TEEN and Palmz. Tickets at Red Cat, Zulu and ticketweb.ca.
Guitar player and burlesque producer Blue Morris follows up his popular “Beatles Burlesque” with a new show that mixes Motown hits played by a live band and some of Vancouver’s more creatively named burlesque starlets, including Cherry OnTop, Coco Cinders, Dame Booty Dench, Beatrix Hotter, Ava Lure, Ruthe Ordare and Connie Cahoots. Motown Burlesque shakes its moneymaker Oct. 11, 8:30 p.m. at Electric Owl. Tickets motownburlesque.brownpapertickets.com. More info at bluemorris.com.
For many people, Malik Bendjelloul’s astounding documentary Searching for Sugar Man was their first introduction to long-forgotten 1970s Mexican-American folk rocker Rodriguez. Thanks to the film, Rodriguez, now 70, is enjoying an unlikely comeback, as evidenced by his sold-out show at Venue, Oct. 11. Don’t have a ticket? Zulu Records hosts a discussion and meet and greet with the man himself, at 7 p.m.
