B.C. takes over YEG

We might as well proclaim Friday, Feb. 5 as B.C. Invasion Day in Edmonton. That's when we’ll be overrun with some of the province’s hottest up ‘n’ comers at two different venues.

Singer-songwriter Dan Mangan (Vancouver) and moody popster Aidan Knight (Victoria) will perform at Haven Social Club, while pop duo The Zolas (Vancouver) and We Are The City (Kelowna) will be at Brixx Bar & Grill.

Decisions, decisions … actually, you can make both. Mangan/Knight’s 9 p.m. show is sold out, so they’ll play a second, earlier gig – starting at 6:30 p.m. at Haven. (Tix are $15 plus service charges at Ticketmaster.) The Brixx gig, which also features Edmonton's Call Before You Dig (awesome name!), starts around 9 p.m. Tix are $15 at the door.
