Doors: 9pm

Exploding out of the ever-vibrant music community of Canada’s West Coast is the Vancouver quintet Goodbye Beatdown – here to move the millions with their grinding lightning groove.

Melding the best dance-floor elements of roots-rock, reggae, electric blues, funk, soul, and urban hip-hop into a modern boogie mélange they recall the energy of Sublime and the Red Hot Chili Peppers while maintaining a sound and image all their own. Goodbye Beatdown’s true powers have been the unending series of overheated, sweat-drenched capacity crowds they’ve captivated at Vancouver’s most prestigious venues – including the acclaimed Commodore Ballroom and sadly missed Richard’s on Richards. They’ve shared stages with such seemingly disparate notables as Bif Naked, Default, Finger Eleven and Sean Kingston and have more than held their own- winning every crowd, every time.

No matter where they’re gigging – the Canadian Prairies, Toronto, California – it’s scorching high noon in mid-July, both in attitude and in sheer sonic sweat-out.
