 All 4 bands are celebrating new albums (or at […] "'Pin It")
Down The River: Vancouver Indie Heavyweights The Belle Game, Bear Mountain, and Dralms (plus Toronto’s The Darcys) Pour It On

This was a blockbuster night for indie rock fans at Vancouver’s Vogue Theatre. Not surprisingly, it was completely sold out.
Bear Mountain @ Vogue Theatre
How’s this for some stats:
- 4 bands on 1 bill
- 3 of 4 are Vancouver bands (the 4th is Toronto’s The Darcys)
- All 4 bands are celebrating new albums (or at least relatively new: Bear Mountain‘s XO was released August 2012. All others are 2013 releases)
- 3 of 4 are debut albums (The Darcy‘s Warring is their 3rd)
- 1st Christopher Edmonstone photo gallery for VANDOCUMENT. (If you haven’t checked out this incredibly talented & versatile Vancouver-based photog, do it now: edmonstonephotography.com)
- 1 solid night of high energy indie rock n’ roll

The Belle Game
The Belle Game @ Vogue Theatre
The Belle Game have just released their debut full length, Ritual Tradition Habit. Their single “The River,” is irresistible.

Bear Mountain
Bear Mountain @ Vogue Theatre
“Bear Mountain’s electro/dance style blends syncopated bass lines and arpeggiated synth chords with live instrumentation and soaring vocals to produce a style that is unmistakeably fresh and powerfully captivating.” (from Bear Mountain’s Bandcamp)

The Darcys
The Darcys @ Vogue Theatre
We’re big fans of this band, especially with this repeat-worthy song off their new album (also called ‘The River,’ strangely & awesomely)

Newcomers Dralms, whose debut album Crushed Pleats has literally just been released, is produced by local music & art superstar Andy Dixon.
