I saw the performer Final Fantasy (alias of Owen Pallett) play at the Metro theatre about a month ago. He is an amazing classically trained violinist who combines pop music and baroque music into beautifully-crafted original songs. Maybe the best concert I've seen in Victoria all year.

How was the Metro as a music venue? There's a terrible lack of decent small venues that aren't bars with terrible sightlines.

^I assumed it was Sloan. Did I tell you about the time I saw Sloan in an elevator in the Executive House hotel? I honestly thought they were homeless dudes until I recognized them.
Metro Theatre is the northeast corner of Johnson and Quadra in the old church building.

I thought it was great, I've only seen some fringe theatre groups perform there before. The opening act used the large backdrop to play videos on.How was the Metro as a music venue? There's a terrible lack of decent small venues that aren't bars with terrible sightlines.

If anyone's interested in checking out a band that is heavily influenced by the sounds of the '60's/'70's and has big potential of breaking through to major markets across NA and Europe, give "Hey Marmaduke" a try on Friday, Oct 27th at Steamers.
I've heard them a few times and they are arguably on the verge of making it "big." Pretty cool to have another local band that is rising local charts at a quick pace and is being closely watched in other markets.
I went to high school with the bass player but the rest of the band is comprised of bonafide Brits. Together they make for an interesting group with sounds not commonly played by our local bands.

How can a single player be tight? I though that "tight" defines how a band plays together.
I, and my lady, goes to local concerts every months, mostly smaller venues. The calibre of musicianship is very good, overall.

That being said, Jack is in fact one of the best piano players I know.

If any VVers want some free tix, just drop by Soprano's and say you are an SK fan. :-D
This is a special offer ONLY for Salmon Kings fans and season-ticket holders.
This coming Saturday, October 28th, immediately after the Salmon Kings game vs. Idaho, Soprano's presents:
An all-star Halloween bash, with three very scary rock bands: Hardly Soft, Redheaded Stepchild, and November Rising.
We don't have live bands very often at Soprano's - so you know that when we do, we guarantee a great party and awesome sound. This talented set of three up-and-coming local rock bands make their second appearance on the Soprano's stage, after a sold-out show last Spring. And Hardly Soft, the headlining band, recently won BEST new band in a blockbuster Battle of the Bands competition at Legends, involving over 25 local bands. This'll be a great show for all ages (19+ of course).
Cover charge is $6, but for Salmon Kings fans we have a special offer:
Pick up FREE courtesy tickets from the bartender any day this week (M-F 12noon-7:30PM ONLY), while quantities last. Just let the bartender know you are a Salmon Kings fan, and you can take home up to 4 tickets per person.
For a sample of Hardly Soft's sound go here to listen to BRAND NEW DAY:
http://hardlysoft.ca...brandnewday.mp3
More band info:
Since March 2006, Hardly Soft has been pounding the stages of Victoria and have started to gain a substantial fan base. The band placed third for Vancouver Island in Canada's Supernova Band Competition and have most recently won Vancouver Island's Up N Coming band search, where they took home $7000.00 worth of cash and prizes after battling it out with 27 bands over a three month period. Hardly Soft is currently in pre-production for the next recording where they will join forces with musician/engineer Matthew James and The Audio Garage to kick out their next batch of material.
