The CIVL Stage One
Thursday, August 19th, 2010Hey students and community members! Come on out to the CIVL Stage concert series at Casey’s on Campus! It will happen on Fri, Sept 3 just before the fall semester starts. For only $5, you can see three excellent bands perform at a 19+ venue.
The following are the artists performing at the CIVL Stage #1, which is presented by CIVL Radio and sponsored by the UFV Student Union Society and the Cascade Newspaper:
Petroleum By-Product
Headlining the show will be a new-wave band called Petroleum By-Product from Vancouver. They are affiliated with the Emergency Room music scene that was born out of an underground parking lot venue at the Emily Carr Institute of Art. Petroleum By-Product has shown up on CIVL Radio’s !earshot chart for July 20 and Aug 30.
The Progressive Thinker
The Progressive Thinker has been around for quite a while and has an interesting roster of Abbotsford musicians. Members include Stephen O’Shea, Jason Robert Nicholas, Franklyn Currie and Stu Hood. Their indie, post-punk experimental performance is not to be missed as it combines the the creative energies of so many other music and art projects that are happening, and have happened, right here in Abbotsford.
Women of Britain
Hailing from Abbotsford, Women of Britain is a psychedelic garage-punk band who has been around for one year. Well, at least with since they started to perform with the name Women of Britain. These young lads have been performing at plenty of local shows in and around Abbotsford. Soon, the hardworking Women on Britain will be releasing a new EP. Stay tuned to CIVL Radio to hear about it!
