The New Owners:

The New Owners are a 5-piece indie rock / indie pop band from Langford BC consisting of dual frontmen Elijah Driver and Jamie Beaman both on guitar and vocals, Brandon Weatherell on bass, Tyler Thomassen on drums, and Erik Evans on keys. The 5-piece outfit sport sweet and sticky grooves underneath warm, catchy melodies with a colorful combination of chorused-out guitars, spacey synths, and the upbeat tempo of their indie rock roots, taking inspiration from indie pop bands like Men I Trust, Mac Demarco, and Her’s.

Trouble on the Outskirts:

Trouble on the Outskirts began in the thralls of a smokey jazz club in downtown Victoria BC. The initial duo of guitarist (Max Mackrill) and drummer (Michael Tessier) began crafting songs by pulling inspiration from the likes of Sam Fender, Arkells and The Killers. They were soon joined by local talent, including bassist (Jared Sundberg), keyboardist (Erik Evans), and finally guitarist (Cole Senger), quickly expanding to establish their own unique sound. They lovingly called this identity “Indie Twang Rock”.

Sam Kaiser:

A singer-songwriter from Hong Kong who is now based in Victoria, Sam’s approach to music is reflective of his mixed heritage and upbringing across the world.  He explores themes of distance, longing, and hope while acknowledging growth and his own perception of the world around him.  His intricate fingerpicking and layers of guitar and vocals complement his stripped-back style, which is ever evolving, much like him.

As per government regulations, we require two pieces of valid ID for entry, including one piece of government issued Photo ID. We are proud members of the BarWatch Program.
