Dan Croll - POSTPONED
Having recently been awarded the MBF songwriter award DAN CROLL is the latest bright light to spawn from Liverpool’s new music scene. Dan and his seven-piece multi-instrumental cohort are your future soundtrack to lazy summer days, playing perfectly crafted pop in the vain of Beirut, Grizzly Bear and Bon Iver. Sweeping instrumental melodies accompanying vocals with bags of charm.
Due to conditions beyond our control, Dan Croll's June US tour has been postponed. Dan wishes to apologize to all of his fans and the people involved in these shows. As soon as we are able, all dates will be rescheduled. We greatly appreciate the support and we look forward to returning as soon as possible.

The Digs
Dedicated to creating a new groove-based music, THE DIGS embody the unique perspective of diversity that could only come from Canada's multicultural melting pot, Toronto. To dig is to extract from the ground by breaking up earth, and The Digs are a band reaching down into the roots of American pop music and pulling up a vibrant sound that is an organically constructed embarrassment of riches.
Ultimately, The Digs consist of close friendships built upon the love of music, and the love for one another, and it is this dedication which gives them a consistently renewed energy with each jam-packed gig, each infectious groove, each funky beat. Catch The Digs while you can!- Venue: Lounge

Rykka - CD release
Long before she was known as RYKKA, the Vancouver-born singer-guitarist was a staple in clubs and cafés around the world, where she performed acoustic sets and honed a quirky folk sound.
But as she began to write her latest set of songs, her music took on a new form. The electric guitars became jagged and distorted, the synthesizers danceable, the vocals simultaneously tuneful and hollering. Bursting with hard-hitting rock arrangements and hook-laden pop melodies (interspersed with the occasional down-tempo number), this is music that carries a slap-you-across-the-face immediacy.
With an album complete and various video projects underway, there's no mistaking this as the same artist who once recorded under her given name of Christina Maria. Now that she's discovered the hedonistic thrill of dance floor-friendly rock, she'll never go back.
Join us in the Drake Underground as Rykka celebrates the release of Kodiak, with opener KELLY MCMICHAEL AND THE GLOSS.

DJ Nana
DJ NaNa believes that the art of Turntablism is a science. The same precision and dedication scientists put into research and experiments, is what NaNa is known for putting into his own artform. His influences range from the common (Wu Tang Clan, Outkast, A Tribe Called Quest, Jay-Z). to the not so obvious (Zamfir, Portishead, Lamb, Fleetwood Mac), and everything else in between. A true music connoisseur, his knowledge of diverse genres of music is almost as impressive as his knack for combining them.
