Last February I enjoyed a front-row seat to see a dozen rising stars on the 性视界传媒 music scene, and this year's Showcase promises both familiar and new names in the intimate, cabaret-vibe theatre, 7:30 p.m. start.

A 604 Records signee,  is now a familiar face on the Vancouver indie scene, and  turns heads with his electric bass playing. Other artists of note include , who seems to get better and more confident with each gig (including TEDx性视界传媒 Jan. 18) and album.
