Information
Three of our communitys grooviest groups, and some of our best friends, are coming together for a Thursday night party celebrating the diverse array of influences and talents that make our city so colourful. After a triumphant return at a jam-packed Lucky Bar this past December, MINDIL BEACH makes an even more triumphant return to the Victoria Ska the group founded The Jellyfish Project, promoting environmental stewardship throughout BC schools and their engaging mix of funk, folk, reggae and hip-hop have kept them in them in the hearts of the Ska & Reggae Massive during their extended hiatus, as evidenced by the sell-out crowd that filled Lucky at their return show. Now fronted by Roderick Campbell and armed with an array of newly completed songs, Mindil Beach is back and ready to reclaim their place.Also on the bill is one of the most loveable group of musical merrymakers to come out of the island, APEX BREAKS. With regular highlight appearances on our festival stages, shows up and down the island to sweaty, heavy crowds and a string of hard-funking singles, the psychedelic jungle funk monster has become one of the most reliable party-rocking outfits the city has to offer. Kicking off this celebration of Vic Citys deep grooves is our longtime allies THE NEW GROOVEMENT. For nearly 15 years, The New Groovement have been stalwarts of the west coast music scene, amassing a devoted legion of fans across the province. When The New Groovement is on stage laying down their frankly hard-hitting funked out hip-hop, youll be hard pressed to find anyone standing still. The group demands dancing and its a demand that is hard to ignore. CWith the mighty DJ SUAR3Z, fresh off her appearance at this years Garden City Grooves, keeping the party hot between sets, this is a jam-packed Thursday night party that will please groove-seekers of all shades happy and moving.

Note:
Please be aware of the following age-related restrictions for this event: 19+.
