Octo aiting for talloween pcoming sig Chelsea Mushaluk, OP Heroine Dh, October. It’s that weird month that’s just past the beginning of the school year, but not quite the end of he year. The time where you realise that the paper ou’ve been putting off is due next week, along with wo others as well. Ack! Luckily, after you’re done all hat work, you can always go to a show. I’ve compiled a ist of upcoming events in October, so at least you'll ave something to look forward to. Before you start to tudy for midterms, that is. First of all, the Vancouver International Film ‘estival is on from September 28 to October 13. While his is a list of upcoming concerts, there’s a film about he Pixies that looks great. It’s called /owdQUIET loud nd it’s playing on October 5 and October 9, so check t out if you have the chance. Ok, on to the shows. CiTR’s SHiNDiG! is happening every Tuesday night t the Railway Club until the end of October. Head ver to catch the best of local talent battling it out for ocal audiophile supremacy. And as always, there’s ‘Jokes for Beer.” TV on the Radio is playing the Commodore on ctober 3. Angry Youth Bloodthirsty Babes was great, but I aven’t heard the second record, so I can’t vouch for Huality on that one. Hopefully they will perform that a apella cover of “Mr. Grieves” too. Also on October 3 s a slightly questionable hip hop show at the Media club. Moka Only and Josh Martinez are performing with Baba Brinkman, whose claim to fame is writing pnd performing a rap version of the Canterbury Tales. Apparently he does other stuff too, but as a total nglish nerd, I'll see you there. The National are playing Richard’s on Richards on ctober 5. If you’re into shoegazing, this show is the blace to do it. We Are Scientists and Art Brut are at the ommodore on October 6, with The Spinto Band ounding out the lineup. Do you dig dance rock and bands that like kittens? Then We Are Scientists are the band to see. Art Brut also put on a fun show, or at least hat’s what P’ve heard. Thunderbirds Are Now! and You Say Party! We Say Die! are at Dick’s on October 7, or those of you who like your dance rock with excla- ation points. Pink Mountaintops are playing the Plaza Club on Dctober 8. Dirty rock and roll at a dance club? wesome. Kinnie Star and Tanya Tagaq are at the Reditor@gmail.com Capilano College Performing Arts Theatre on October 8 as well. The show is described as “hip hop meets Inuit throat singing,’ which sounds cool. Both artists are up-and-comers in their respective genres, so check it out. Ox is playing at the Media Club on October 10. If you haven’t seen them perform, head over to the Media Club. Their brand of lo-fi indie/country is fantastic, and it’s high time for another Vancouver Ox show. Ox also performs on October 11 with Jason Molina & Magnolia Electric Co. at Richard’s. Ladytron are at the Commodore on October 14. Don’t miss your chance to dance at this one. Seminal indie-rock veterans Yo La Tengo are playing at Richard’s on October 14 as well. They’re touring in support of I_Am Not Afraid of You and I Will Beat Your Ass, so check out that show. If wicked album titles don’t grab you, they also did a guest spot on Gilmore Girls. If you’re into hip hop, Madlib and Peanut Butter Wolf are at Richard’s on October 21. Cut Chemist is also hitting Dick’s on October 24. Three consecutive nights of indie pop begins at the Plaza on October 20. The Hold Steady and Sean Na Na are playing that night, and the New Pornographers return to Vancouvet’s stages with back to back shows on October 21 and 22. Immaculate Machine and Novillero are opening on the 21, while Young & Sexy and Bella are opening on the 22. If you were at last September’s show at the Commodore, I’m sure you'll be at the Plaza show(s) as well. If you were at Arts County Fair, come to the Plaza anyway. With any luck, Neko Case and Dan Bejar will be there this time. Sloan is in town on October 24 with the Yoko Casionos supporting. They’re touring for their new record Never Hear the End of It, which will be conve- niently reviewed in the next issue of The Other Press. Recent buzz band Be Your Own Pet is at Richard’s on October 27. I don’t know anything about them other than the usual striped t-shirt and carelessly coiffed hair combo seems to be the trend in bands these days. Now that your calendar is full of shows, try to fit those essays in as well. After all, everyone needs a break.
