YEGGFormed in the gritty streets of Nanaimo in 2023, YEGG is a band that stays true to their roots. Drawing inspiration from iconic bands like Death, Obituary, Morbid Angel, and Cannibal Corpse, YEGG is a testament to the enduring power of Old School Death Metal. Their live shows are a sight to behold with intense energy and a ferocious wall of pure aggression.

DEATH MACHINEEstablished heavyweights of the Okanagan scene now based out of Vancouver, Death Machine’s Death Harvest 2026 Tour is set to claw its way across Western Canada like some kind of fearsome combine harvester. Many bands talk about flattening the venue, these lads may actually accomplish it.

BUTCHERButcher, formed in December of 2023 in Nanaimo, seeks to combine old school death metal roots with the raw aggression of brutal death metal and hardcore.In a few short years, Butcher has pushed the envelope in terms of just how crushing a show can be.

Do you know about Artist Trading Cards? Whether you do or don’t, we hope you’ll join us for ATC nights with host Harvey Chometsky.

In short, Artist Trading Cards are self-made unique works or small series, signed and dated on the reverse by the artist/producer, exchanged and collected by the people who participate in this collaborative event. There are only 2 “rules”: the cards must be 2.5″x3.5″ (the same as modern hockey cards or baseball cards), and they are only to be traded, not sold.

Make them ahead of time, or make them on the spot. We’ll bring some blanks and other art supplies.

And this is a family-friendly event!
