DEAD GHOSTS are a Vancouver-based garage rock band, composed of founding members Bryan Nicol (vocals and guitar), Drew Wilky (lead guitar), Mikey (drums) and Maurizio (bass), as well as long time member Craig (keys, guitar, percussion) and Matty Reed (Saxophone). Formed in 2008, the band has released 5 full length studio albums, including Can’t Get No (Rocky Said) and their latest self-release full length Hippie Flippin (featuring the singles Headed Home and Nice One). The new record showcases a richer, fuller texture, incorporating horns and enhanced percussion that elevate their signature style. With this album, Dead Ghosts explore new sonic landscapes (thanks to the addition of Dave McMartin as a contributing songwriter) while maintaining their catchy melodies and evocative lyrics, offering fans a fresh yet familiar experience.

TRIP WESTERNS are a 5 piece rock n roll band formed and based in Brighton with “their roots comfortably buried in the soil of mid-20th century rock and R&B, intertwined with lashings of surf and psychedelia – revelling in the twangy notes of spaghetti western soundtracks (see Ennio Morricone).
