Often living in Whistler can be a pretty one dimensional music experience. Most of the clubs play the same music and very few live bands come passing through. You have to make the 2 hour trip to Vancouver to catch any tours and often they only make it as far as Seattle.
So I watch with envy when I see Stones Throw are on a European tour starting on 6th March. A couple of the artists on the tour are part of the Los Angeles Boogie Funk revival scene, namely Dam-Funk and James Pants. These guys are resurrecting the old vinyl on mixtapes and in DJ sets, plus they are producing fresh new joints that rock out the synths pretty hard. So I thoroughly recommend getting down to see them play. If you are London based then you can catch them at Cargo on 7th March.
