GNASH RAMBLER & THE LIQUOR KINGS!


From the oddballs that brought you, well, the Odd Ball, comes another night of liquor fuelled rock n’ roll debauchery!

Join us on Friday, August 26th, for an intimate evening with two of Vancouver’s finest at A Dental Lab, 1125 East Hastings.

All hail the omnipotent LIQUOR KINGS! Forming in late 2010 as the $toolie$, this relentless five piece, comprised of west coast rock veterans, has been destroying stages (and their livers) ever since and is set to unleash its debut album “soon.” What death defying stunt might Dutchman attempt next?

Kicking and screaming its way out of semi-retirement, the vehement power trio that is GNASH RAMBLER formed in early 2007 as Nevada. The stalwart act consists of a veritable plethora of rock royalty—as criminally obscure as it may be. Members have/ continue to play with the likes of Aging Youth Gang, the Pet Fairies, Little Guitar Army, the Strugglers and Betty Kracker. Straight ahead punk rock played furiously (but with melody), Gnash is a bucket list band!

Only $7.
