Not sure they were ever really a band.

Probably a resurgence due to a recent documentary.

[Victoria Watcher]

True, and one of them is dead.  Odd.

I DID NOT KNOW Rashida Jones was his daughter.   She is funny.

I had no idea, either! Crazy.

 

Can we double everyone up for hosting the Victoria Social Media Awards gala, since they'll all be here?

Milli Vanilli is currently fronted by twins Jodie and Linda Rocco, who were back-up singers with the original line-up. Performances by the twins often include“featured visual performances” by Rob Pilatus and Fab Morvan, the public frontmen for the group.

Tickets are not selling well.

Tickets are not selling well.

 

Less than 1,000 tickets sold in total between Kelowna and Victoria.

 

Less than 400 sold in Abbotsford.

 

 

Saskatoon doing a little better.  But I think this tour is unlikely to proceed.

Jellyroll should sell out fast. I know he had a hard time to get admissibility to Canada due to his criminal history.

[Matt R.]

Nice to see Jelly Roll and Colter Wall coming to Vic!

Now we just need Noah Kahan and Post Malone haha.

Matt mentioned today Quadratic Sound has closed due to a zoning issue. The venue was in the 600-block of Queens.

This follows the closures of Club Loading above Tomley’s on Johnson, Hermann’s Upstairs on View, and Victoria Events Centre on Broad.

Encore will open in 2025, and will feature DJs on weekends, local arts on weekdays.

Impressive.

[Mike K.]

Sounds like the best outcome for that space.
