McRackins (http://www.myspace.com/themcrackins) Vancouver legends. This is their first all-ages show (local or otherwise) in fucking 5 years or something like that!
Teenage Bottlerocket (http://www.myspace.com/teenagebottlerocket) Last year, Teenage Bottlerocket was putting out the best balls-rock you've ever heard. Then Kody from the Lillingtons joined on lead guitar and started writing and singing half the songs. Holy shit. Understand why this guy is my favourite singer. The songs at http://www.teenagebottlerocket.com are even better than the ones at their myspace.
Badamps (http://www.myspace.com/badamps) You know and love these local kids, but if you haven't seen them since April, go see them now! New drummer+new songs+new album=Really really Goodamps.
Paper Lanterns (http://www.myspace.com/paperlanterns) Just go listen to the harmonies on "Ode to the Clone of Joan of Ark" and then explain to me slowly how the fuck they got away with such shameless beauty and sincerity and then thank me later.

We're here to help artists and arts organizations reach their audiences and each other.
Non-profit run and created by the community, ArtsVictoria.ca integrates current event listings and multimedia arts portfolios, and creates an explorable, living archive of the arts in Victoria BC.
For physical events that happen at a specific time. For example a concert, or dance performance. If there are multiple shows, you can still duplicate your event to cover them all.
