Last night I listened to the band Champion for the first time. I so liked what I heard, I was thrilled when offered a free ticket to their concert tonight! Opening for Champion was Vancouver dance-punk sensation You Say Party! We Say Die! who ably warmed up the crowd.

After YSPWSD, Champion brought the house down with their beat-heavy electronic blues stylings. The tracks I heard from their album last night was light and fluffy campared with the gritty thumping riffs that kept the crowd jumping up and down more than the 5 guitarists on stage! Two weeks from now, Champion is playing at the Junos, where they are nominated for Dance Recording of the Year.
