FRIDAY MARCH 19: The Dreadnoughts, Empanadas Ilegales, Vancouver Regiment Irish Pipes and Drums
THE DREADNOUGHTS
The Dreadnoughts began to play folk-punk in 2007 with a single goal: to make enough money at shows to cover the cost of shots of Fireball Whiskey at Vancouver’s notoriously seedy Ivanhoe Hotel. Ten years on and counting, they can boast of four studio albums, two EPs, and hundreds of unforgettable live shows spanning the globe. They’ve blended punk rock and a bunch of European folk traditions with a power and range that few other groups can match. And it’s been a blast.
EMPANADAS ILEGALES
https://empanadasilegales.com/
Empanadas Ilegales mixes rhythmic cumbia, hypnotic guitar riffs, and salsa-spiced trumpet & sax, with surf rock, free jazz and West Coast psychedelia.
Based in Vancouver, BC, their resonant roots from Colombia, Ecuador, Argentina and Canada combine to deliver a dedicated tribute to cumbia deep-cuts. Recorded across three different phases and studios, it’s a trifecta of experimental synth sounds, slinky dub grooves and dynamic percussion. Sancocho Trifásico represents the creation – and celebration – of Latin American dance music across time and space, inspiring convivial gathering in every note.
