Kirk's Pick

Who? Tonye Aganaba and/or Twin Bandit
Where? Just outside of CBC Vancouver
When? Friday, August 14 and/or Tuesday, August 18
Why? CBC Musical Nooners have been running all summer long, and these are two of the upcoming ones I'm eager to check out. Hopefully you see this post with enough time to catch Tonye today at noon o'clock, and Twin Bandit is next Tuesday at, you guessed it, noon. 
 

Jessica's Pick

Who? Cayucas & Hibou
Where? Electric Owl
When? Thursday, August 20
Why? Both of these acts produce music that is mild, sweet, and perfectly summery. Plus, Cayucas had their gear stolen in Vancouver a few tours ago, so show them some love and buy lots of merch to support them and let them know this city loves tour bands. Also stream their new record Dancing in the Blue Lagoon at the beach, on the grass, on your couch, at work... no matter what you're dong, it will make your day better.
 

Christine's Pick

Who? Van Damsel w/ The Strain, Smash Boom Pow
Where? Biltmore Cabaret
When? Friday August 14 aka Tonight!
Why? Start your weekend right with Kamloops band Van Damsel, whose latest musical offerings are guaranteed to get you moving.

Where? Burnaby... duh! Deer Lake Park, to be exact.
