Vancouver's Bookclub look forward (and backward) to "A Bookclub Christmas"
Iron Maiden. Black Sabbath. Motorhead. You can now add Vancouver’s Bookclub to this illustrious list of bands with their band names in their song titles. Musically, there's quite a distance from the hard-rock triumvirate and the self proclaimed “dad rock” sounds of this jangling surf-pop 6 piece (although there is a pretty solid F-bomb in their self-titled debut song).
Their Christmas single is the lastest entry into Vancouver DIY label Kingfisher Bluez’s Christmas Village collection (each sleeve builds up a wintery Christmas scene). Each year the profits go to 1-800-SUICIDE and Crisis Centre BC. So if you want to start your collection with a surging '80s synth-pop seasonal smash, and support some great charity work, check out Kingfisher Bluez's Christmas Village. You can also virtually attend The Kingfisher Bluez 13th Annual Christmas Party online at 1am GMT on 21 December.
