J Blissette (Lethbridge) are on tour in support of their new record Until I Go Blind, out March 9 via Pleasance Records. With support from local mainstays The Sylvia Platters and Ian Fildes. Come on out to give them a warm Fraser Valley welcome!
Admission is $10 at the door or pay what you can. No one turned away for insufficient funds!
Doors at 7 PM. 19+

J Blissette is Jackson Tiefenbach, a Lethbridge, Alberta-based garage rocker, singer songwriter, and tropical-glam eccentric. The project began in 2016 as a love letter to the 70’s, with punk influences and 12-string jangle rubbing up against post-punk nervousness and singer-songwriter ambition. Wrap that in an aesthetic that goes from Vegas to Honolulu through Joshua Tree, and you’ve got a sprawling, eclectic debut record paired with a razor sharp, unrelenting live rock and roll act.

The Sylvia Platters are a four-piece power pop and shoegaze outfit hailing from all corners of BC's Fraser Valley. The two-time FVMA nominees’ music has drawn favorable comparisons to The Jesus and Mary Chain, The Replacements, and Weezer. The Platters have a full-length album and an EP under their belt as well as several province-wide tours. That experience translates into a compelling live act that Glenn Ess of The Cascade calls, "vibrant and endlessly entertaining." Be on the lookout for their upcoming split 12" LP with Stephen O'Shea this summer.
