Orkestar Slivovica is in this week's Georgia Straight
Orkestar Slivovica, playing at Honk Fest West last month. I am, of course, the one guy whose face you can't see. At all.
"It was love at first listen for Oliver Sutton. As the Orkestar Slivovica bandleader reveals, once you’ve heard Serbian brass-band music, you can’t go back. And that’s just as well-had the extroverted saxophonist not been listening to the radio back in the days when he was working construction, he might still be playing the accordion."
To read the rest of the article, go here. We're looking to sell out tomorrow's show, folks. If you want to be sure of getting in, be at the Commercial Drive Legion by 8.30 p.m. tomorrow night. And please bring cameras! We want pictures! Videos! Lots of 'em!
Before we head off to the Sunshine Coast to play a Saturday night show in Roberts Creek, we're going to have brunch on the Drive - all four bands - at 11 a.m. at Havana's (provided they can take us all; we're looking at somewhere around 60 musicians), and then playing for a bit at Grandview Park before making our way to the Horseshoe Bay ferry terminal. If you're in the neighbourhood, come and listen!
