Bands!Bands!Bands! is celebrating one year! 🎉 To date, we have brought 48 different emerging local bands to our stage and given them the opportunity to show the crowd their exceptional talent. 🎈Don’t miss VOL. XIII on September 17th… With three returning acts, Sharon, Chilko in the Rosemary and Sweet Delirium and one brand new band to our stage, Diamond Day, you won’t want to miss this birthday celebration!
Don't miss out, grab your tickets now!
SharonUnder the dark and dank depths of the universal sock drawer you will find a mold, a special kind of mold. SHARONITUS-ZYGOMYCOTA! If harvested and spread over Primus's 'Pork Soda' album on Vinyl, then Mahler's 2nd symphony also on Vinyl is layed on top of that one, making a music/mold sandwich, you can frisbee toss it to the moon and in 7 nights the moon will spit back a map containing directions to the next SHARON show. Go on. Get to it. What does it say? Oh yes, it says September 17th at the VEC. Welp you already put in the effort of making that monstrosity so you might as well go to that show.
Diamond DayFrom janky glitch-pop drums to jangly guitars on the verge of explosion; Diamond Day reshape shoegaze into their hazy electro dreamworld. Led by Rosier’s Béatrix Méthé and Grammy-nominated multi-instrumentalist, Quinn Bachand, the project began when Quinn moved to Boston as a teenager. The pair discovered an undeniable synergy after meeting at a music festival. Every weekend, Quinn would hop on a Montréal-bound greyhound to write, record and develop songs in Béatrix’s plateau apartment. Their debut record, Connect the Dots, is a “hypnotic and shoegazey alt-pop fever dream.” Méthé and Bachand enlisted a dream pop A-team–including producers Jorge Elbrecht and feeble little horse’s Sebastian Kinsler–to synthesize their expansive aesthetic over 10 tracks. Méthé’s magnetic vocals, catchy hooks and stream-of-consciousness lyrics became the band’s razor-sharp focus, cutting through Bachand's billowing noise-pop soundscapes and creating retro-futuristic euphoria.
Chilko in the RosemaryChilko in the Rosemary is a full bodied three-piece experience from Victoria, BC, blurring the lines of rock and pop, augmented with surfable waves of funk and soul. Their catchy melodies and animated performance create a happy atmosphere suited for all to enjoy the way they want. Chilko will trigger the dancer in you, whether you dance like a hurricane, groove like a gorilla, or chill like a sloth. The vibe is one size fits all.

The evening will also include performances by Pindian, and Cameron Schaefer.

A community and a collective of musicians, who work with dancers, artists and circus performers to bring the weird and wonderful to the stage. Combining sounds of art rock, nu-wave. surf rock, burn barrel barber shop quartets, and lost n found 33s in forgotten roadside thrift stores. Singer, songwriter, storyteller and clown Steve Craik is joined by long time friend, collaborator and drummer Brendan Pye, Alex Moore on keys and synth, Jeff Birmongham on trumpet, Josh Stull on Bass and Adam Cleland on the lead guitar. There are two types of people in this world, 14 Flamingos are the other kind.

Pindian:Pindian is a Kwakwa̲ka̲'wakw and Nuu-Cha-Nulth MC born on lək̓ʷəŋən Territory (A.K.A Victoria B.C) who in 3 years of sobriety, has found immense healing in expressing themselves through lyricism in the genre of Hip Hop which they view to be an innovative, creative-native continuation of their nation’s tradition of storytelling, told through artistic practices since time immemorial.
Pindian started performing in the Summer Season of 2022 and since then has shared their songs on various stages and venues both in Victoria and Vancouver such as the Vancouver Playhouse for the 3rd International Indigenous Hip Hop Awards’ Trade Show at the Vancouver Playhouse and UVIC’s Farquhar Auditorium.
They aim to honour the roots of their culture and old school Hip Hop while sharing their stories through rhyme which make statements about healing through the intergenerational, traumatic effects of colonization, honouring their west coast lineage while also embracing tricksterism and having a few laughs and a good time while doing so.They are also a mural artist, painter, theatre performer and facilitator of workshops.
Cameron Schaefer:A new favorite in the Victoria music scene, Cameron Schaefer played keyboards in rock, blues and jazz bands for many years. Now he writes and performs his own songs. You’ll laugh, you’ll cry, you’ll spit up on yourself.

Born in Baku, Ozan Ardic is a concert composer with a background in fortepiano performance. Embracing a puristic philosophy, Ozan organizes his compositions into individual opus numbers, each offering a glimpse into his life. 
These works provide a purely audible experience, devoid of additional subtext, labels, or extramusical context. By omitting names, titles, or accompanying artwork for his compositions, Ozan aims to let each listener engage with the music on a deeply personal level, free from external influence. This approach invites listeners to discover their own meanings and emotional connections within each piece. Their attention and appreciation help each opus find its true place within the larger narrative of Ozan’s artistic journey.
Since 2012, Canada has become Ozan's second home, where he was warmly welcomed. Proud to stand among his fellow Canadians, he has dedicated his debut tour to the country that embraced him. The concert program opens with Tchaikovsky’s The Seasons, a work by one of the most influential composers for Ozan growing up and a fitting musical complement to this program.

Canadian fiddler Frankie Rodgers composed Ookpik Waltz in 1965. By the early 1970s, it had lost its title, its composer was unknown, and fiddlers around North America had invented a mythical provenance for it, based on Hollywood’s inaccurate portrayals of Native American and First Nations’ music.The Mystery of the Ookpik restores credit to Frankie Rodgers and his rich performing and recording career. It shows how his Ukrainian heritage colored his composition and performance of Ookpik Waltz. It explains his move to New Zealand, after Canadian radio’s adherence to American broadcast trends left him without an audience. It details how Ookpik Waltz entered the fiddle contest scene, and how it was folk processed so that Rodgers’ original recording is viewed as “wrong” by contemporary audiences.
Joe Weed, Producer and Director of The Mystery of the Ookpik, has released seven albums of his own, produced many projects for independent artists and labels, and composes scores for film, TV, and museums. Ken Burns features one of Joe’s compositions in his 2023 documentary “The American Buffalo,” broadcast nationally on PBS, as well as in “The Mayo Clinic,” also broadcast on PBS.Joe produced and directed “The Waltz to Westphalia,” a 55-minute documentary film that tells the fascinating story of a Polish folk song’s metamorphosis into an American country fiddle classic, known in the US as “The Westphalia Waltz.” An expert on the life and music of Stephen Foster, he produced “Swanee, The Music of Stephen Foster.” Combining his research, storytelling, and musicianship, he has informed and inspired audiences on both sides of the Pacific about America’s first professional songwriter. In 2018, Joe released “Two Steps West of the Mississippi,” a collection of his original instrumental music based on American fiddle roots. He continues to produce acoustic music at his Highland Studios near Los Gatos, California.
