Cold Specks
November 21 at St. James Hall

Tickets
Danko Jones
with We Hunt Buffalo
November 21 at the Commodore Ballroom
There are likely a great many words one could use to describe Danko Jones. One that immediately comes to mind is “dynamo”. 2012 has been another marquis year for this Rocker, with exploits including the release of another album last month (
Rock and Roll is Black and Blue), the premiere of a 90-minute band documentary at NXNE, an authorized biography (
Too Much Trouble: A Very Oral History of Danko Jones by Stuart Berman), not to mention a short film,
The Ballad of Danko Jones, featuring Elijah Wood, Selma Blair, Lemmy Kilmister, among others. You think you’re busy? Think again.
Tickets
The Pack A.D.
with No Sinner and The Ballantynes
November 23 at the Commodore Ballroom
Rarely are all the bands on one bill so well balanced as this gig. Get three uniquely different tastes of what kind of the music that comes out of this city. Garage revivalists The Ballantynes kick things off with a blast from the present with their rock’n’roll swagger, giving way to No Sinner and sultry Colleen Rennison’s no bullshit approach to having a good time. Hard-rocking duo The Pack A.D. headline, back in Vancouver and better than ever. These boots are made for kicking your ass.
Tickets
The Punch Brothers
with The Milk Carton Kids
November 24 at the Chan Shun Concert Hall
If you’re looking for something a little different to do Saturday, don’t miss the Punch Brothers. The NYC old-time bluegrass quintet are kicking up dust on the road, hot off the heels of releasing their new EP
Ahoy!, which you can
win right here. They’re joined by the Milk Carton Kids, whose 2-guitar, 2-vocal approach to folk and Americana has been striking all sorts of chords. We want you to go so badly that we might just give you tickets.
Tickets
