Four bands you must hear at Khatsahlano!

1609

Jon and Roy

Khatsalano!, the revamped Kits street festival which I’m sure you know takes place tomorrow, from 11am-6pm, has 23 rocking bands on five stages. Zulu Records curated the music selection this year, giving the line up a very homey, punk, DIY feel.

I’m sure every band on the list is worth its own dance party. But I like a good cheat sheet. So I called Zulu and asked which bands are must-see. Then I became even more demanding and requested that Nic Bragg, the Zulu GM, describe each band with ONLY three words. He stepped up to the challenge admirably. Nic’s answers/our Khatsalano! band cheat sheet is below. Since these guys all go on stage around the same time, I hope his answers aid you in making informed decisions.

KHATSAHLANO! Band Cheat Sheet by Zulu
Jon and Roy: Acoustic, mellow jams. |  Peak Main Stage at 5:00pm
Yukon Blonde: Righteous, raucous rock. |  City TV/Omni Main Stage at 5:00 pm
The Evaporators: Vancouver, legendary, Nardwuar. |  Canada Safeway Stage at 5:10 pm
