Lead singer/bassist Eddie Spaghetti is King Of Satan-Worship and King Of Booze and keenly in pursuit of that perfectly imperfect moment. It's Motorhead-cum-Social Distortion garage. It's falling down drunk and looking up a cowgirl's skirt. It's proud and it's damaged and it's Supersuckers - NEVER sucking. And joined here in a blue- collar, no bullshit triple bill is Nashville Pussy, fusing Skynyrd with Motorhead. Plus Special Guests The Deadcats. Lock up your daughters, sons and liquor. The devil has all the best tunes. And now, they're at the Red Room. :: view poster

Unleash The Archers, Nylithia, Over the Coals :: $10 [ticket locations] :: Advance tickets on sale at: Scrape Records, Red Cat Records, Zulu Records, Ticketweb :: On April 18th Unleash The Archers will be holding a video premiere show at The Red Room in Vancouver BC for their second single "General Of The Dark Army". The music video is directed by Richard Olak, creator of the indie cult film 'The Battle Of Burgledorf', and was filmed with the keen cinematographic eye of the infamous Talbot Twins. The song can be found on their 2011 release "Demons Of The AstroWaste", which debuted in the top ten on !Earshots Loud Charts.



This is UTA’s second music video, the first being for their song “Dawn Of Ages”, also on the 2011 album: . They filmed the first video themselves with the help of a friend, in the wilderness surrounding Hope, BC. Needless to say, they have taken a slightly more professional approach to their second video, and hope it will meet the expectations of fans. The new video will be posted on their youtube channel shortly after the premiere.

The April 18th show will also serve as the tour kick off for their two week jaunt through western Canada, aptly titled “Quest For The West”, during which they will travel as far as Winnipeg, MB. The new video will be shown prior to their set at every show, providing the venue has the capacity to do so. Show dates are posted below, check out their facebook page for details and more shows as they are confirmed!

UNLEASH THE ARCHERS (http://www.unleashthearchers.com/)

Unleash The Archers is a five piece metal band currently hailing out of Vancouver BC. Formed in late 2007, the band is heavily influenced by all metal genres, and incorporates elements of power metal, melodic death metal, thrash and metalcore into their music. Their sophomore album Demons of the Astrowaste was released in May 2011. Since then the band has toured Canada extensively and soon the rest of Northamerica, in order to continue to grow its already strong fan base.




NYLITHIA (http://www.nylithia.com/)

Nylithia is a word and a hyperthrash band created in 2008 by founding members Royce Costa (guitars), Tyler Erhardt (drums), and Kyle Scott (vocals). The word Nylithia was created out of the conceptual idea of a nihilistic utopia, which in itself is contradictory since it is impossible for a nihilist to have a utopia when there is no option for a perfect world within their view. With that in mind, Royce, Kyle, and Tyler set out to create a soundtrack of calamity; a sound which would be uniquely identifiable in its overall tone and unbridled aggression. Soon after the first rehearsal sessions, bassist Nathan Rothstein was added into the fold, and the stage was set to bring the hyperthrash sound to a wider audience.

Twisted Productions present MARKUS SCHULZ | #9 DJ in the World, and vancouver based STEVE KRUEGER :: Doors at 9:30 :: $35.00 [ticket locations] :: Advance tickets on sale at: ClubZone, Beatstreet Records, Facebook event page :: Over the last 10 years Markus Schulz has fused the individual musical identities of progressive, house & trance into his own creative, now inimitable hybrid sound. Through a unique alignment of headlining DJ sets, Armada and Coldharbour label output and his highly prominent Global DJ Broadcast radio show, he’s spearheaded a sea change revolution in the US trance scene. This success has been reflected in weekly sets played in front of many tens of thousands, a GDJB listenership up in the millions & one Beatport chart-topper after another. Following several highly ranked positions, in 2008 Schulz broke into the Top 10 of DJ Mag’s Top 100 chart. He’s remained there for the last four straight years (polling #9 in 2011) and now stands as the busiest international DJ playing out of the United States. :: view poster

ORJAN NILSEN bio:

Coming off what can only be described as an unforgettable 2011 OrjanNilsen hardly needs any introduction – his first artist album "In My Opinion" has received much praise and so has single-releases like Between The Rays, The Mule, Viking, Atchoo, Lucky Strike & Legions. This Norwegian prodigy seems to be going at a crazy pace in the studio recently, and collaborations with Armin van Buuren, Leon Bolier and others are in the works proving that OrjanNilsen has no intention of slowing down just yet. :: view poster
