ION 8 Year Party w/ The Raveonettes!
This Saturday‘s gonna be so much fun!
Our friends over at ION Magazine are celebrating their 8 Year Anniversary by having a big party in a renovated East Van warehouse space with a very special and rare DJ set by The Raveonettes!
Deejays Trevor Risk, Tyler Quarles, and Winnie’s own Christian Flores will also be providing their music selections for the night and apparently there will be lots of vodka and beer.
This kind of party comes together only once every four years or something, so don’t be mad if you miss it and all your friends are talking about it. Now put together your fanciest outfit, and we’ll see you on Saturday. So excited!

Let’s Get #Dark
This FRIDAY the 13th Winnie is throwing a lil masquerade / goth rave with two of our fave bands and some dj friends.
Fresh off the press from local phenomenon BOOGIE MONSTER.
Boogie Monster – Lost in Bollywood (single mix)
Boogie Monster – Castle in the Clouds (single edit)
+++ Another one of the most exciting locals the Mythies! I mean, Myths… Myths have a dark aggressive electronic punk sound that is extremely unique. It’s like a bad dream version of Crystals Castles.
CRIME– is also a brand new xxxclusive song from them.
Don’t forget your masks.
Shad / Miracle Fortress @Fortune
Saturday night Scion presented East Vancouver’s Shad and Montreal’s Miracle Fortress at Fortune Sound Club.
A nominee for 2007 Polaris Music Prize, Miracle Fortress is another one of Secret City Record’s gems. Explained as “bedroom club,” their indie pop sound is highly versatile, delivering heavy tech sounds and plenty of reverb.
Most of the kids I chatted to post show had no idea who Miracle Fortress were before tonight – but every single one of ‘em said they would check the band out after the set they had delivered. New record Was I the Wave hit stores Apr 26th.

Juno Award winner (2010) and nominee (2011) for Rap Recording of the year, 2008 Polaris Music Prize nominee and National Posts’ “best rapper in Canada”, Shad K is a Canadian who has been compared to the likes of Common and K-os. A slightly more old-school 90’s sound that focuses on social causes with an air of humor that keeps everyone stoked.
The 5 minute a-cappella Shad turned out kicked everyone’s ass Saturday night. Whereas most of his set was hard to hear over the bass heavy tracks. Song, “Rose Gardens” was a crowd fave and “Old Prince” got everyone hyped. Playing with a live bassist added a genuine flair that really suits Shad’s whole appeal. His new album Tsol is worth checking out.
