Yukon Blonde

Thursday

Amigos Cantina

Vancouver’s alt-rock band Yukon Blonde is out on its Friendship & Rock ‘n’ Roll tour in support of their album of the same name. The band jokes in its release that they are “dragging” the tour across Canada “one motel coffee, one blown tire, on gas station epiphany at a time.” The singles from this album have made a great impression on fans and now you can hear it all live. Juno nominated folk-rock duo Altameda will open the show. Tickets are $24 – $30.

Yaga

Now – Sun.

The Refinery

The Live Five Independent Theatre season kicks off with a blend of comedic fairy tale and detective caper. Yaga by Kat Sandler follows a private investigator on the case of a missing heir to a yogurt empire. The detective winds through a small town and into the forest they meeting strange characters along the way including Baba Yaga. This is a modern twist on the Slavic legend of a wicked old witch who lives alone in the woods grinding the bones of the wicked. It imagines if the witch was actually a sexy smart modern woman trying to correct a story that has always been told by men. Tickets are $30 – $36 with a pay-what-you-can preview on Wednesday Oct. 9th.
