Wicket Hall, Douglas Street, Victoria, BC, Canada
Destruction and melody, acid wit and bruising vocals—this is the Pack A.D. Singer/guitarist Becky Black and drummer Maya Miller have made a sound so gigantic, so fierce and raw and empowering, that it’s easy to forget there are just two people behind this brilliant, carefully constructed havoc. Shredding and pounding their way through every song, the Pack A.D. swallows you whole inside their fearless Franken-blend of heavy psych-pop/garage-rock. Their lyrics are wild nests, human and complex: darkly funny disclosures about depression; indictments of digital excess; grief-stricken fire bombs; sly crusades against stupidity. The Pack A.D. is also one of Canada’s “must-see” bands. Be it a massive stadium or the slightly seedy bar where everybody’s shoes stick to the carpet, the Pack A.D. have owned every spotlight and stolen every show they’ve ever played. Becky and Maya are relentless and riveting, playing with the kind of fuck-off freedom that makes everybody in the room vicarious rock stars, even if it’s just for the night.
Doors: 6pm, Showtime: 7pm

Wicket Hall, Douglas Street, Victoria
Limblifter has a knack for continual reinvention, this time steeped in collaboration between Ryan Dahle (vocals/guitar) and Eric Breitenbach (drums/guitar), Megan Bradfield, (bass/vocals), and Gregory Macdonald (keyboard/vocals/guitar) - managing to circumvent the pigeonhole-prone music industry to prevail uncategorized with a hard-core fan base intact.
With Dahle’s memorable guitar lines, distinctive vocals, and poignant, colourfully painted lyrics as an anchor, the evolving vision is driven by the other members. Way out keyboard lines and impossible drum performances highlighted by double bass and clarinet played by Megan. The presence of Megan and Gregory’s voices taking lead vocal roles on occasion makes this latest record “Little Payne” sound more like a compilation than a band. Occasionally featuring American jazz saxophonist Donny McCaslin playing some incredible solos, gives a glimpse of a future full record collaboration between McCaslin and Dahle.
This new record pulled together during covid from song ideas over many years was released Hallowe'en 2022 just as Ryan Dahle was diagnosed with a heart problem that had him face open heart surgery in February and made promotion of the record impossible.
Now fully recovered, the band is ready to play this record that celebrates long friendships and deep musical bonds.
Doors: 6pm, Showtime: 7pm
