Why hello Vancouver heat wave! With days full of beach waves & tall cans of Cider we’re finding ourselves caught up in a daze by the time evening hits; drunk, disorientated, & sweaty thinking “what will I do tonight?” Well, the July installation of The Beehive will be a bit of a punk rock party & a perfect way to sweat out the toxins we’ve been ingesting all summer, or just keep on sweating with a good dance off on our dance floor! We’ve got our regular DJ Mo Diddly spinnin’ a new collection of records from his European adventures, as well as two bands to look forward to:
THE SPLIT UP’S:
Word of mouth goes a long way. When buzzing around town trying to figure out who we might want to vamp up one of our Wednesday nights this summer, Mongrel Zine told us to check out this band. 10 seconds into a song, we were sold. See for yourself!

THE PARALLELS:
Back for another round of Beehive fun, headlining are one of The Beehive’s very favourite bands; always lookin’ sharp & bringing sunshine and lolli-pops to that garage sound we all love oh-so-much!

Special Thanks to Music Waste for inviting The Beehive to take part in a week of amazing Vancouver sounds. Here’s a collaboration we’d love you to take part in, so please come out this Wednesday, no excuses. 3 incredible bands, 5 regular bucks, unlimited funtastic times!
Adjective: I mean, I’ve made it pretty obvious that my obsession with this band has grown in exponential rates since first seeing them. Since my last review of Adjective in The Skinny, I’ve travelled Europe with their button on my jacket, gotten a second copy of their EP, I’m Sorry For Your Loss, so as not to have to carry it between work and home, and have made sure to keep a stack of Georgia Straights handy for purposes both innocent and maybe…lets not go there. Their post-punk gloom is nearly as dark as their rehearsal space, where their brilliant tunes begin their dwelling. Sure sure, the dude from Wire helped in the recording process but he ain’t got nothing to do with how incredible this band is live. Dare I say, don’t miss out!
Sex With Strangers: Once upon a time (not so long ago) Spin Magazine called this band one of ”7 Undiscovered Bands Worth a Listen.” So lets lay this out really simple ok? The band is called Sex With Strangers, that’s pretty cool. Spin Magazine is stoked on them, that’s pretty cool. And they play robot-rock, pretty much creating perpetual movement and laughter on the dance floor, that’s also pretty cool. I’m pretty sure they write their lyrics in binary code. Help translate the digits to some dance moves, it’ll be…pretty cool!
Sex With Strangers - The Lovers Will Rise Tonight (Radio Edit)
Petroleum By-Product: Sometimes bands get so caught up in trying to be like the real thing, that they miss the mark with their music which consequently results with them looking like idiots. On the contrary, Petroleum By-Product are writing songs with names like “Rat Face” and channeling a punk rock sound that 35 year olds still haven’t figured out. Now, I hate to break it to ‘em, but guess what? Stuff this good only comes inherently, and these kids have got it. Take that & shove it in your rat face. Awesome.

After what seemed like too long, The Beehive is back & ready to host another double bill far too lovely to resist this Wednesday, May 27th! In celebration of what’s bound to be a bee-a-u-tiful dive back into a musical whirlwind, we’ve decided to start up this blog to help document our moments of debauchery & Rock ‘N Roll fun.
Stay tuned as we develop a beehive of a blog, a place to meet all you need to know about Vancouver’s Queen Bee: a music scene that ain’t all too bad after all!
Thee Manipulators: This is a five-piece that always takes us on a sonic trip through psychedelic feedback, brawny snare, and hearty soul. These blokes dish out tunes not only in raw verve, but also in style. It should be noted that recent addition to the group, new organ player Henry Beckwith, is keepin’ up quite well with the his new family – his keys sending out that high frequency in a way that’ll shiver down your spine. As for the rest of them? Well, they’ve got it down, and some have even got girlfriends, so watch out who you’re dancin’ with ladies! ( http://www.myspace.com/theemanipulators )

…New songs care of Thee Manipulators Coming Soon!
Dylan Thomas & Your Vancouver Vipers: It’s a fine thing when music wears its influences, but homage is all the more admirable if the tune transcends into a compelling realm. This is Dylan Thomas. His songs are an amalgamation of lyrics both eloquent and simple, a revivalist musical sentiment, but above all, an exploration of all that is real; love, truth, and melody. Joined by Your Vancouver Vipers (who include past and present members of Witness Protection Program, Jody Glenham, The Parallels, Tranzmitors, and Animal Names), these gents exhibit a sound as much humble as it is commanding. Get ready to smile and shake your head from side to side as you hear the harmonica comin’ at ya!( http://www.myspace.com/dylanthomasmusic )
