Said The Whale (Vancouver) and Hannah Georgas (Vancouver) are gracing our stage this Tuesday at 9pm.
We are BEYOND lucky to have these folks coming in again, so soon from their last show. Usually we have to wait a year to see them again. And they are returning off of the STELLAR NATIONAL performance they displayed on CBC Television on Canada Day WEARING A PHOG LOUNGE T-SHIRT!!!! Don’t recall this? Check the link.

It’s a weekday show, so we’re beginning earlier than weekend shows. SO you’ll be able to see Said The Whale and still make it home in time to get rested for the next day’s work or school.
For those who are unaware, Said The Whale is bringing along some new beauties. New CDs. Yes, this is a CD Release Party, decked out with celebratory bits and pieces, including cake, party hats, and more.
This will not be your average CD Release Party, as Said The Whale finds a way to do things in grand style.
I cannot fully express my excitment for this show, and I can guarantee an incredible outpouring of talent to all of you wise enough to come and partake. They have consistently inspired and rocked our building during every visit, and Tuesday will be even more special with the new record poised for emergence and success.
Something Marley-related, you say? Earlier this year, K'naan and J. Period released a free online mix series where K'naan sings/raps over music by Fela Kuti, Bob Marley, and Bob Dylan. It's available at http://www.jperiod.com/knaan/
