Ninjaspy – www.ninjaspy.net

Metal/Hardcore/Reggae/Surf band Ninjaspy arose with the dawn of the year of six, embodied by the Triad in Blood: Vocalist/Guitarist Joel Parent, Drummer Adam Parent and Bassist Tim Parent. With the help of prolific producers, Garth Richardson and Ben Kaplan, they have entered the next level of their career, releasing their debut CD Pi Nature in the fall of 2007.

“ Think a 3 piece Mr. Bungle with Patton’s vocals taking a turn for the better, add some laser beams and dreads, turn it all up to eleven, stand the fuck back and enjoy!”. – Ground Report

Red1 with Killawatt – www.killawattrecords.ca/KillaFam/Red1.html

The Rascalz - RED1, DJ Kemo, and Misfit - have become iconic figures in the Canadian hip-hop world since their 1993 debut “Really Livin.” Over the past thirteen years and five albums, the critically acclaimed Van city crew has helped pioneer Canadian hip-hop. In the process, they have garnered numerous MuchMusic Video Awards, Urban Music Awards, certified gold records, NO. 1 singles on MuchMusic, and Juno Awards. (They famously declined a Juno in 1998 to protest the show’s policy, which excluded urban music from the televised broadcast). Rascalz member RED1 is now breaking ground on his own with Killawatt Records. He hopes the Vancouver-based label will expose emerging talent of all genres, from across the country and abroad.

Magnus Rising – www.magnusrising.com

Magnus Rising is a solid Vancouver Heavy Metal band with a passion for Rock n’ Roll. Originally from Newfoundland, Magnus Rising strives to satisfy the tastes of their loyal fans, while earning a place for their music in the lives of fans to come. Combining a vivid and high energy live performance with compelling and hard hitting songwriting, Magnus Rising sets out to play any for any audience that will truly listen.

Corvid – www.corvid.bandcamp.com

CORVID is a scumbag Celtic abstract anarchist hip hop mc originally from North Bay Ontario, currently residing in East Van. This is Hip Hop for those sick of the shit clogging the drain at the bottom of the pit from which deranged minds spit rhymes to destroy the limits of these weak times.

Friends with the Help – www.friendswiththehelp.com

Friends With The Help have various ties to the arts community in Vancouver. Recent shows have seen the trio at literary events (inter/tidal iv), gallery openings (Gallery Gachet, Marion Scott Gallery), and at the inaugural show in the Bassment level of the W2 Media Cafe where FWTH released their debut mix tape to a sweaty throng. As a group or individually, FWHT have opened for/toured with the likes of Living Legends, Blowfly, Young Buck, The Game, Obie Trice, Front Line Assembly, and many more.

Abriosis – www.abriosis.com

Abriosis is a 4 piece progressive death metal band hailing from Vancouver, BC. Have released a self titled e.p. , and their brand new full length album "Tattered and Bound". Looking forward to continuing touring in Canada and abroad.

All proceeds are being donated to Battered Women Support Services and Living Positive.

Hosted by DJ Temple of Without Mercy (www.withoutmercyband.com).
