They played their first ever Vancouver show at No More Strangers and were so good, we rushed to rebook them.
They play Nov 19th at the Cobalt with Carnivores from Atlanta and my other fave new Vancouver band, Victoria transplants, My Friend Wallis.

Oh No! Yoko+Teen Daze+Young Liars=PICZ
Hey folks, I busted my neck so the photos are a tad latez. Sooooo lemme remind you of how much fun we had 2 weeks ago! The small but mighty band, Oh No! Yoko kicked the night off followed by Teen Daze who, after getting a great review on pitchfork, just got a new bass player and recently left for their mini tour around western Canada. And last but definitely not least to light up the stage, is Young Liars, with their psychedelic light show and light up mirror masks, seeing this band live is not for the faint of heart, or epileptics.
