Pink Mountaintops: One of the coolest, trippiest Canadian (or otherwise) bands to emerge out of the early 21st century, Stephen McBean’s Vancouver’s Pink Mountaintops are playing kind of an unexpected and unusual venue: Dive Bar on Jasper Avenue. The shifting-lineup band’s self-titled debut, Axis of Evol and Outside Love are all well-worn classics on college radio over the years, and this tour supports the band’s newish album Peacock Pools on what they’re calling the Bang Box Boogie Tour. If you’re into whirling guitars, ethereal vocals and intricate melodies, plus a lifelong commitment to having long, Alan Moore hair to wave around like a proper freak flag, this party is for you.

Kimberley MacGregor: Her triumphant return since moving to Vancouver Island a year back! “This room is an Edmonton Institution,” she says of Yardbird Suite, where she volunteered as a teen, noting the room “boasts amazing sound and a host of legendary performances. I’m some kinda chuffed to play two full sets of music with my incredible band family.” Tzadeka, Kirsten Elliot, Elliot Thomas and Kevin Brereton join her on stage.
