Photo's: The Taxpayers and Spinning Wheels @ Moxies 11/14/08

There were about 30 kids inside and another 10 outside for a show at Moxie's on Main Street in downtown Vancouver.

Spinning Wheels piano driven indie rock band from Portland, OR plays Moxie's in Vancouver

When The Taxpayers went on the spaz with glasses took all the chairs away from the crowd. With a gentle hug he pulled people who were sitting down and lifted them on to their feet. Everyone was up and bobbing along...


"Get up! Get up!"


The sound inside is a little harsh. The floor and walls are cement. The bands play against a glass window. If you go to a show at Moxie's BRING EAR PLUGS! If you play a show at Moxie's bring some moxie and you will connect with Vancouver's all ages crowd!

Soda Jerks!

Moxie's has a lot of pop and rock! But moxie? Well no. they have stacks of soda and then a bunch of people standing around listening to music.

I guess you can't sell moxie.

Andreah and walked up to the front of the soda pop shoppe and there was a crowd gathered around a guy with really big feet who wasn't wearing any shoes and an acoustic guitar.

We both mused that this guy was probablly from the arts highschool up the street and these were all this friends. We were wrong. He's from Phoenix. His name is Kelly and he just happened to be there. So he asked for and was granted permission to play his crappy indie music for everyone!

people were clapping for him even though he was doing 1 minutes covers of songs that I believe I recognized last night but now do not remember.

here is a picture of him and his 2 friends;

The guy on the right is Kelly! When I told him the name of my blog he said "yeah I do play crappy indie music!" And that is why he gets the shout out because he is at his core crappy indie music all the way BUT he is not full of shit! Yay!

We're From Japan! did infact play but I only got sucked into actually listening to them for about 3 epic songs. Of course they were great but this isn't a reveiw of their show. But here's a picture of them that they DID NOT POSE for and yes it was taken in my signature shaky style.

And for anyone that cares I got the email address of the guy who put the show together (HINT HINT).

Love,

Ste. Goldie
