Dog Gone //

Dog Gone is a blend of Indie and alt-rock, formed with members from Vancouver & Tsawwassen in 2022. They have played shows across Vancouver, Victoria and Tsawwassen and recently released their first few singles on all streaming platforms. Their creative guitar riffs and catchy vocals make for an entertaining show. With guitars, bass and lead singer switching every song, Dog Gone aims to showcase all their member’s best tunes. They have upcoming shows at several local Vancouver venues, as well as the Barnside Harvest Festival in Ladner.

SKELTON //

As a multi-instrumentalist and songwriter, Skelton's musical style is fluid, from a solo acoustic confessional, to synth pop and bombastic punk rock. Consisting of a drum machine, 2 synthesizers and several guitars, Skelton has created a sound very uniquely his own while still keeping the soul and identity of the pop and heavy guitar that he has been influenced by. As a one-man show, building and shaping the songs on stage without any software or backing tracks is something to behold. Choreographed almost like a dance, yet keeping the improvisational aspect of the live show to provide an intimate yet explosive experience on stage.

Hope Slide //

After the disbandment of their previous project, Calvin Jay and drummer Zane Klassen reformed under Calvin’s solo alias Hope Slide. With the additions of bassist Jack Hanahran and Rollie Miller on guitar, Hope Slide adapted Calvin’s home recordings into a suitable live performance. Their lineup was cemented by violinist Elena Massing and Kerry Hickli on keys. Featuring shoe-gaze inspired guitar, whimsical strings, and unique story-telling lyricism, Hope Slide evokes something that sounds like an adulthood fable. Household names like Broken Social Scene , The Microphones , Arcade Fire , and Destroyer have been tossed around while trying to convey their sound.
