Garage rock group Tranzmitors hit up Pat’s Pub if you feel like venturing
downtown for some good tunes. Microbrew Pat’s Lager is great, and the
place is always a riot.

¢ Friday October 23
It’s a triple threat with shows happening all over the place. Honky tonkin’
Rascal Flatts play GM Place, while classic rock outfit Blue Oyster Cult
take a cowbell solo at the Red Robinson Show Theatre. Radio rock group
Collective Soul is hanging around the Commodore Ballroom, but unless you
have tickets already, you might be out of luck.

¢ Saturday October 24
I can honestly say the Jim Morrison is alive and well and living in Vancouver.
Psycadelic Doors Cover band Unknown Soldiers rock out at Fairview Pub
with guests The Polished Rocks. Or, if you’re not stoned, the Vancouver
Symphony Orchestra is performing with Rachel Barton Pine on a bill with
Mussorgsky’s Pictures at an Exhibition. Your call.

¢ Sunday October 25
Local jazz singer Laura Crema and her quartet perform a special show
downtown at St. Andrew-Wesley Church. The concert hall is beautiful and
the music will only sound better with the beautiful acoustics.
