Jonny Bones movie memorial to benefit the Jonny Bones Forever charity (opens the original)
Read excerpt
We don't know what films are going to play at the first-ever Jonny Bones' Memorial Movie Night on Thursday at the Rickshaw, but there's a good reason for that. "We are not announcing the movies", says Sam Gajdos, Bones' partner, "because it's not really about the movies." Admission is voluntary, and no one will be turned away due to lack of funds. But you are encouraged to RSVP here and make a donation to the charity set up in his name, Jonny Bones Forever, more on which below. Bones passed, aft
Casa Sueño finds Mike Watt still in the game (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Let's get straight to it: Mike Watt—one of those holy men of punk, whose resume we really shouldn't have to explain—is playing two nights at LanaLou's this coming week with a new unit, Casa Sueño. The band plans to record its first full-length in Portland, Oregon, later on this very tour, but meantime, has a new 7-inch you can preview, "House of Dreams", described on its Bandcamp page as "a blissful mix of fearless improvisation, feverishly limitless grooves and otherworldly psychedelic song for
Dead Spots and We Found a Lovebird join forces to count the toll of rock'n' roll (opens the original)
Read excerpt
One of the longest-lived, most taken-for-granted institutions in Vancouver rock history, the MeBats (who self-describe as "the janitors of rock"), has imploded, apparently during that momentous lightning storm a couple of weeks ago, where the band was playing yet another pass-the-hat show at the Princeton. What is the Vancouver rock scene to do without its janitors? What, exactly. went down? We asked Eddy Dutchman, the group's bassist and the author/singer of its best song, "What Happened to Me,
Paul Pigat celebrates his 57th birthday with Cousin Harley at the Rickshaw (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The last time this writer caught rockabilly and western swing guitar virtuoso Paul Pigat at the Rickshaw, back in 2025, burlesque artist Melody Mangler joined him onstage to do a saucy strip. So we figured we'd start there: What's his history with Mangler (interviewed here), and wasn't she just a bit distracting, given she was half-nekkid while he was playing? "I've known Melody for a long time and we've done a few things together," Pigat tells the Straight. Having her join him on stage made goo
The Butthole Surfers: A freak flag film for the hole family (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Tom Stern, the filmmaker behind the new Butthole Surfers documentary, premiering Monday at the Rio, has described the Texas–spawned agitators as "one of the most mind blowing live bands ever". In an interview with the Straight, he notes, "Their shows were legendary sonic/visual spectacles that were more rite of passage than concert. We’ve tried to capture that spirit in this film and seeing it with a live audience really adds to the experience, so I’m happy the people of Vancouver will be able t
