Ginger 62

On Friday July 30th, the CanThrill Crew would like to celebrate the conclusion of Lobby nights at Ginger 62 located on 1219 Granville Street. Almost 200 nights since its first inception at Ginger62 the time has come to hang up the coat for this fine night. Two lobby nights will remain before this experience makes itself scarce. DJ Skai from Cocoon Club in Germany will be flown in to help celebrate this night after 4 amazing years.

The Fox Rocks Granville Street Concert Series

Today July 23rd will host The Granville Street Concert on Granville x Georgia featuring BC talent starting at 7pm featuring a band every hour. Hosted by Fox 99.3FM in cooperation with the Downtown Vancouver Business Improvement Association, Granville Entertaintment, V.P.D. and City of Vancouver.

Venice Queen: This band has influences from many great bands like Red Hot Chili Peppers, Stone Temple, Queens of the Stone Age and Alice in Chains. They also hold the title as Fox Vancouver Seed Winners of 09. This 4-piece band denies to pin themselves to one style so their music is eclectic and very well composed. Homegrown from Richmond and bound with great music style.

Goodbye Beatdown: Drop down a rapper gone vocalist, sprinkle in a DJ who spins rock, reggae and hip hop with a tea spoon of bass keyboarding with a jazz background, a rockin drummer with lightning hands, and a guitarist who has played jazz to heavy metal. Don’t forget to influence that all with famous band Red Hot Chili Peppers. What you are left with is a very interesting sound called “Goodbye Beatdown” that fits the need of the iPod generation. Goodbye Beatdown are also title holders of “Fox Vancouver Seed Winners 09” Vancouver born 5-piece band.

Veer Union: This band held a top 10 rock slot. Not only that they held it for the longest amount of time for any new artist in the industry. Songs are already being used from this band in example the new theme for the 2009 Stanley Cup champions Pittsburg Penguins, WWE for its heavy pummeling song “Seasons”. With its album “Against the Grain” this band has shown its talent, potential and vigor. Vancouver being the birthplace of this band come out and support!

Future dates for more concerts include August 27th and September 10th

Dancing in the Streets a Success!

Last Sunday Jungle Swing hosted the first in a series of Sunday Afternoon Summer dance events called Dancing in the Streets. About 200 Lindyhoppers and spectators enjoyed the DJed Big Band music under the clear Vancouver Summer skies while a soft breeze blew north on the block.

Dancers raved about the opportunity to dance in a new venue, and spectators gushed about the vibrancy the dancing and music brought to the street. More than a dozen hand held cameras could be seen filming at any time, so look to youtube for videos to pop up!

Here is a video of Lindy Flashmob that happened earlier in the year at the same location.

This week the Dancing series will be hosted by Salsavancouver.net newlywed super salsa team Stephen and Jennifer Dancey.

Veterans, Stephen and Jennifer have many years under their belt as producers of community dance events having hosted the wildly popular Sunday Afternoon Salsa at Robson Square, which has been on hiatus this year due to construction.

Reminder that this Sunday, a 30 min class will begin at 2:00 with social dancing from 2:30-6pm. Bring water and a towel!
