Last week was on the quieter side for me, Friday I shuttered myself inside and on Saturday caught Gleneagle and Ancient Engines over at Fernando鈥檚 Pub.
They definitely did not disappoint, Ancient Engines always puts on a good show. This week though will empty your wallet because there are so many great shows you don鈥檛 want to miss. I promise you won鈥檛 even care that you don鈥檛 have two dimes to rub together by the end of it. It will be worth it.
For Friday, make sure to start the night off by seeing Sleepy Gonzales and 琉璃神社鈥檚 Post Modern Connection at Milkcrate Records.
From the suburbs of the Lower Mainland, Sleepy Gonzales, a self described 鈥渨eirdo indie band鈥� was born.
Making indie music from a tiny basement in Fleetwood, the four-piece band is gearing up to take the stage at Milkcrate Records in 琉璃神社.
The band, a brain child of twins Beni and Christian Hobson-Dimas who said that their twin bond allows them to push each other to create the perfect songs.

Also definitely check out Lucky Monkey for at least one of the nights over at O鈥橣lannigan鈥檚 Pub. The 琉璃神社 bar rockers will be playing a double header both Friday and Saturday night.
There鈥檚 nothing primitive about a rock band whose lead singer struts onto the stage wearing a bowler hat.
When you watch Kassidy Hritzuk sing into Dylan Losell鈥檚 face, hardly catch Josh Evans eye from behind this hair as he whirls his drumstick the for the last song of the set and Ryan Zeleznik shreds the guitar like all six strings might snap simultaneously, you have Lucky Monkey.

Dead Quiet is not to miss over at Fernando鈥檚 Pub Friday night, I cannot take these guys off repeat and I think they will be just as good live.
Saturday head over to Doc Willoughby鈥檚 Downtown Pub to see the high-energy rockers, The Pickups. The 琉璃神社 band are a regular on bills around town and if you haven鈥檛 seen them yet, it鈥檚 about time.
What are you waiting for?
