Mecca Normal
The Vancouver duo of Jean Smith and David Lester, together known as Mecca Normal, could never be accused of being one-dimensional or static. In the world of star-making corporate rock, Mecca Normal have always been challenging and disruptive of preconceptions and boundaries. Quite frankly, they don't play by the rules. We're excited to have punk legends Mecca Normal at the Mayworks Cabaret April 30th.

Running Dog Lackeys
The Running Dog Lackeys are an Asian Canadian musical col-lective. The band lines up Coffee House Drum Jammer Wayne Soon, Yale Bluesmeister Keegan Chen, on Keys and Guitar, and Chinatown Poet/Activist Sean Gunn on the Fender Bass. The Lackeys have played at Vancouver's Asian Heritage Month, the Firehall Theatre;s hot dog party, and recently, they have appeared on Saltwater City TV, an Independent Community Television program on Shaw Cable 4, produced by volunteers led by Sid Tan and Eric Chan.

Hugo Rojas
Hugo Rojas is a popular and well respected player of Latin American protest songs.

Gibran Theatre Group
