The final chance to see who will represent the Fraser Valley’s best and brightest musical groups in CIVL’s ten week Battle of the Bands extravaganza!
After The Nacaals rocked Losses and Wild Card MG Graveyard out of the playoffs this past Saturday, it’s up to Chilliwack’s Empty After, Langley’s Derrival, and Abbotsford Wild Card Yes Men Jr. to decide the final band to make it into our deciding round and qualify for no less than $200 in gear!
Come out and support your favorite band – who will it be?
Lonely Cave Kings Often compared to artists such as The Gaslight Anthem, The National, Kurt Vile, and Franz Ferdinand, Lonely Cave Kings are fast up-and-comers with a passion for creativity and a penchant for composing memorable music that will keep your toes tapping while reminding you what nostalgia feels like.
Casinos Casinos are Alex Vevers, Kier-Christer Junos, Zachary Keely, and Mitchell Trainor. A four-piece originally spawned from the hormone-soup that is high school, the members of Casinos know each other very dearly; their beloved project has gained a meaning beyond simply playing shows. This, is where life refreshes itself.
Old Mare Old Mare released Their EP,”YOU DESERVE MORE” in January of 2012. The project sat in the top 10 charts on CIVL for a number of weeks. Old Mare’s sound has expanded since the release and they look forward to sharing it with all their friends at the Battle of the Bands.

Ken Herar has been called a “Champion of Diversity” from Abbotsford Community Services, works as a multi-cultural columnist for the Abbotsford Times.
Now Ken has initiated a proclamation from former Attorney General and current Health Minister Mike de Jong on behalf of the Province of British Columbia, recognizing the efforts of the Cycling for Diversity campaign to unite our diverse communities.
The campaign took a group of riders from Mission to Victoria, BC in order to promote inclusive dialogue in the region, honouring the World Day for Cultural Diversity for Dialogue and Development, and had already encouraged the District of Mission to proclaim annual recognition of the day when the Province made this recent presentation at The Reach.
