THE NEW GROOVEMENT:
www.thenewgroovement.com

If The Roots had the soul of Aretha Franklin and the energy of Jamiroquai then youd have The New Groovement. The band seamlessly blends elements of R&B, soul, and hip hop to create a funk-i-fied feast for the ears that is as unique as it is versatile. Punchy horns, sweet vocals, clever rhymes, and tight percussion combine to create energetic, feel-good music that will get you out of your seat and onto the dance floor!
At the forefront of the band are Steph Wisla and her partner-in-rhyme, Danimal House. Together, they can soothe with sultry, sweet ballads or slay with sharp cutting rhymes. Backing them up is a solid rhythm and percussion section that lays down funky beats while the horn section gets crowds going with tasty licks and dance moves that would make James Brown proud.
The New Groovement is a rising star in BCs music scene, currently nominated for Urban Artist of the Year at the Western Canadian Music Awards, winning Album of The Year at the Vancouver Island Music Awards, performing at all of the regions biggest festivals, touring mainland BC, and receiving regular airplay on campus and commercial radio stations across Canada (including being selected as The Zone band-of-the-month in Victoria). They were also asked to open for critically acclaimed acts such as Five Alarm Funk, and have been praised in prominent print, television and radio media in Victoria for their energetic performances and stellar recorded material. After a successful recent crowdfunding campaign (raising nearly 170% of their goal), the band finished their first full-length studio album (The Orange Album) and released it to a sold out crowd on October 2, 2015. The album was created with the help of well-known Vancouver Island producer, Joby Baker (producer of Alex Cubas Grammy-winning albums) and has reached the Top 30 charts of campus and community radio stations in several provinces. This up-and-coming group has quickly made a name for itself with its massive shows and energetic parties; its one band you will not want to miss!

DOWNTOWN MISCHIEF:
Downtown Mischief charges the stage with a combination of funky hip-hop rhythms and soulful jazz to create an original dynamic experience.
Together they form a unique collective of musicians who met through the raw energy of Friday night jam parties. They have since evolved through a fluctuating community of members and friends to form a driving, pulsing machine that explodes with life on stage. An adventurous west coast lifestyle fuels their inspiration and it is apparent in their music. This emerging band will not only captivate you with their beats, smiles and words, but get you moving and grooving on the dance floor!

SIDEWAYSOUNDS:
Electronic music has many flavors, and this Australian born Canadian bass music fanatic has tasted and savored each and every one of them. His mantra "Tasty beets only..." is clear, from star-studded international festivals to down and dirty world renowned clubs there has been a time and place for each musical love story and it truly shows in his performances.

Breaking the genre barrier is what sidewaysounds is all about, and he does it in a way that keeps the dance floor guessing what will come next with each performance. Ensuring that focus of fluid musical continuity is never lost, sidewaysounds is sure to make your ear-balls ring with joy! Horns, trumpets and instruments of all nature play a central role in every set, seamlessly fusing the old with the new in a bass heavy, synth driven, vocal rich, feet moving vibration sensation station.
Having shared the stage with such acts as Illvis Freshly, Bousada, Slynk, The Freestylers & Fort Knox Five - If you like to dance, youre not going to want to miss your chance to get sideways.
