dusk & mist

For all the mist and fog we've been living with lately, there have also been some pretty amazing sunsets. Taking inspiration from the greys and pinks around us, I think I'm going to be pulling on my grey skinnies and slapping on some neon pink lippy tonight before heading to Indie Night at Sechelt Legion. Sunshine Coast bands, Sinmobile, Get Away Van and BOAB are playing from 9pm and admission is free.

Trend alert: Coloured smoky pictures are a hit with photographers & galleries right now. Is anyone on the Coast jumping on the bandwagon? I'd love to see your shots.

Tequila Mockingbird Orchestra @ the Jordao PhotoGraphic Gallery

Sun 16 & Mon 17 Jan, 8pm

#2 - 626 Shaw Rd, Gibsons

I've had my eye on the jordao.ca website for awhile now, always interested to see what kind of music/gallery combo Raquel Fors is putting together, even though I haven't managed to get to one of their events yet. I'm hoping that will all change this weekend when they've got Tequila Mockingbird Orchestra, the latin sounding gypsy/ska/folk/roots/indie band from Victoria playing to a backdrop of Raquel's latest photo exhibition, To The Bone. The gallery is located in the industrial area of upper Gibsons, not exactly the most attractive part of town, but if they can capitalize on the urban, grungy feel then this could be the coolest art + music series to hit the Coast in 2011. For more information on TMO, check out their myspace page here. Tix are $10 at Gaia's Fair Trade in Gibsons and MELOmania in Roberts Creek.
