Adams Rib (Rock/Pop): They're called ADAM'S RIB, and they have a new album they're touring high and low across our fair country with called "FOREVER CAFE". The album, and their live shows, have a decided Celtic feel. But that doesn't mean they can't rock. Listening to them, you'd get the feeling they wouldn't be too out of place on a bill with such acts as Spirit Of The West. Don't miss these spirited performers at any cost!

The Buttless Chaps (Country / Rock / Pop): They are very much still around and kicking. They'll make you think they're a Country band at first, then, they'll throw you a Prog-rock curve, then they'll kick into 80's synth Pop, and then....

WAX MANNEQUIN: Very obviously one of the most unique performers you'll ever witness! Not from Vantown (Hamilton, Ontario). An intense "artist" in the truest form (he's made some very jaded music folk happy). His lyrics are refreshingly offbeat and abstract. His somewhat prog-rock leanings (without the wanking or pretentiousness), are hugely oblivious to trends or fashion! Anyone who dares to sing ..."all of these deseases that you bring from overseas will be mine....all mine!", or dares to invite someone to "F**ck Up The Night" gets high marks in stabbing the blandness of the mainstream in the chest with the righteous musical steak! "I MUST ACHIEVE" is what I hear, and good on him!

Welkin: Transendental, spacious songs that take you on a most inspired journey.

Wetspots: if you need a little kinkiness in your lounge music, Cass King and one time Orchid Highway founder, John Woods are your people! www.wetspotsmusic.com
