Vancouver indie bands get their freak on at the British Ex-Servicemen Association (1143 Kingsway) for the Summer Freak Out Festival July 27 and 28. Presented by VanMusic.ca, CiTR and Dirty Spells, the two-night blowout features cheap drinks, free pool, tacos and a slew of local talent including Defektors, Slim Fathers and Capitol 6, among others. More info at citr.ca.
There was time before Twitter, before Facebook, before society rediscovered its love of bacon that Vancouver's thriving roots music scene was the talk of other people's towns and celebrated at an annual showcase/hootenanny known as RANCHfest. Then it rode off into the sunset only to live on in the whisky-soaked memories of those lucky enough to be a part of it. RANCHfest gets reheated with two shows of twangy goodness July 28. Butch Murphy and the Greasy Kings, Howard Rix and the Stingin' Hornets, Doug Andrews and Circus in Flames, The Krikeys, Ana Bonbon and Mac Pontiac tear it up at the WISE Hall, while over at Little Mountain Gallery, country swinger Petunia gets cozy with Rodney Decroo an the Minimalist Jug Band. For more info, go to northern-electric.ca.
Over the past five years, musical tourist Zach Condon has taken his band Beirut to such exotic and stylistic locales as Eastern European folk, Parisian cafes and the mariachi-filled streets of Mexico and the American Southwest. The band brings its passports to the Orpheum Theatre July 28 in support of its latest album The Riptide. Alas, this one's sold out.
