What are you seeing this week? Let us know in the comments below.

Kirk's Pick

Who? Kirsten Ludwig & Alexandria Maillot
Where? Super Secret Location House Show
When? Tuesday, April 5th
Why? The latest in the Madic Records House Show tour finds Kirsten Ludwig joined by Alexandria Maillot in a super secret location. Where is it? You have to buy a ticket to find out! (Or... just check the Facebook event)

Christine's Pick

Who? Father John Misty
Where? Orpheum
When? Tuesday April 5th
Why? FJM returns to Vancouver, this time from the raucous Commodore to the soft seats of the Orpheum. Sit quietly and feel things.

Jessica's Pick

Who? Metric & Death Cab for Cutie
Where? Thunderbird Stadium
When? TONIGHT! Friday, April 1
Why? This tour pairing is all kinds of awesome. Did you know that a portion of ticket sales also goes towards 350.org for the climate? Can't lose.

Gigs Of The Week: March 25 - 31, 2016

Kirk's Pick

Who? Radio Radio with Kaylee Johnston
Where? Biltmore Cabaret
When? Saturday, March 26
Why? Not only am I excited to see the Acadian hip-hop duo live for the first time, but I'm also pretty happy to (finally) see Kaylee Johnson play some of her own songs!

Christine's Pick

Who? Wintersleep
Where? Commodore Ballroom
When? Friday March 25 (aka Tonight!)
Why? Because it's Wintersleep! That's why. They switched from the Imperial to the Commodore last month and added Evening Hymns as openers, so it's guaranteed to be a popular one.

Jess's Pick

Who? Alessia Cara
Where? Vogue Theatre
When? Tuesday, March 29th
Why? I feel like if Alessia Cara was around when I was a teenager, my teenaged years would have been different. She sings incredible music that makes me think my generation - the dread millennials - aren't all the worst. Plus, she's playing the Vogue on her debut album tour - that's an impressive feat!

Gigs Of The Week: March 18 - 24, 2016

March 18, 2016 by Christine McAvoy in Gigs Of The Week

Kirk's Pick

Who? Adele Tribute
Where? Biltmore
When? Wednesday, March 23
Why? The latest in a line of tribute shows (after TSwift, Drake, and the Beebs). Even if you're not a big a fan of Adele, rumour has it that hearing Kaylee Johnston, Chersea, Sarah Jickling, and more interpret her songs should make for a fun night.

Christine's Pick

Who? Ivory Hours
Where? The Media Club
When? Friday March 18 (better known as TONIGHT!)
Why? Ivory Hours are in from Toronto, with Joy District, and the debut of brand new Vancouver band Leisure Club (with familiar faces). Definitely worth checking out.

Jessica's Pick

Who? Fast Romantics with The Tourist Company
Where? Fox Cabaret
When? Thursday, March 24th
Why? Jam out to punchy pop-rock from Calgary darlings and Vancouver dears.
