Best of the Fest

July 29, 2009

A few of Vancouvers finest creative-types across the genres of art,
comedy and music have forged a brand new four-day festival in clubs
across the city to make the middle of August that much hotter. Weve
scanned the line-up of mostly local talent to help you plan your
inaugural Olio
Festival
experience.


Thursday/Gastown: Start with laughs at The Lamplighter courtesy of
Nardwuar and comedy acts Bronx Cheer and The Sunday Service. Then toss a
coinheads its indie rock at the Red Room with The
Paper Cranes
and The Clips, tails its club music at the hands of Piper
Davis
and
DJ My!Gay!Husband!

Friday/Main Street: Art start the night with short films and paintings
at the Grace-Gallery, then head up to the Anza Club for retro-inspired
acts The
Whitsundays
and The
Choir Practice
, and another helping of art by Ronan
Boyle
.

Saturday/Downtown: Chug it up to The Railway Club where The
Blue Violets
kick it off moody and Bend
Sinister
finish it off funky.

Sunday/Granville: Closing night is made easy for you with one big DJ
dance party at Venue, so rip it up right.
