New White Lung
How cool would it be to play in a band with three of the hottest punk rock chicks around? Ask Kenny from White Lung (srsly though, ask him). Your favourite Vancouver grunge band has a new album coming out on the 29th of May and you best be listening; get on my level.
White Lung have more or less mastered the essence of their genre. Their new album “Sorry” is like re-living your first show in your early teens… you better have hoped you brought two pairs of underwear. Can’t relate? Talk to me after you’ve blasted through the album next week.
Catch White Lung at their CD Release this Thursday night @ The Biltmore and check out their tour dates here and catch them in a city near you.

TIGER & WOODS (LIVE) at CIRQUE
Tiger & Woods, consisting of Larry Tiger and David Woods, are a secretive musical duo that often hides behind a fierce looking leopard logo. They’ve recently garnered much attention for their funk infused disco, which has probably gotten them more ass than the real Tiger Woods circa 2010.
Their latest release “Through the Green” got them an 8.2 on Pitchfork media, with the track “Gin Nation” even making it on the sites top 100 tracks of 2011 list, coming in at a solid 83. For the past few months, Tiger & Woods have been touring the world, selling out clubs in New York, London, and Miami.
While the lack of information regarding their personal histories is frustrating, especially if you fantasies involving a hotel room and bubble baths, the epicness of this dream team cannot be denied. The only scary part is that these dudes are just getting started.
So if you want to experience the magic that is Tiger & Woods, come by FIVESIXTY (560 Seymour Street) on May 25. Tickets are only $15.00 in advance and are available online and at the following locations: Red Cat, Puff, Zulu, Highlife and Beatstreet.
Also taking the stage is Winnie Cooper co-founder @Tristanorchard, as well as Luke Mckeehan, Joel Armstrong, DJ Woodhead, SKLA and Right Hand Barber. Doors at 10 pm. More information on the event page.

Synthcake – Molding Through New Seasons
One of the toughest tricks in being a pop musician is creating music that feels current, and yet sets itself apart from it’s peers. In the midst of Vancouver’s indie scene, Synthcake rears it’s mast. The band makes a unique blend of electronic pop music that leaves many other local acts feeling just a tad generic. Believe it or not, Lana Pitre, frontlady and songstress of Synthcake, gets away with making indie-electro-circus pop, this is honestly the best way to describe what you hear.
Molding Through the Seasons is their freshly released EP. The five tracks offer a rich blend between hallucinative and haunting lady voices, and bouncing carnival grooves that are just plain fun.
Synthcake – Drip
Synthcake – Sail Away
You can check out their EP Release on May 11th, and you can purchase a digital copy of MTS on Bandcamp.
