Coming off HOT, HOT, HOT from this year's Summer Meltdown, Five Alarm Funk is Vancouver’s own 11-piece Afrobeat-Funk-Jazz Orchestra. Intense horn lines and percolating Afro-Beat guitar combined with the interplay of four percussionists creates an impression indescribable. In 2003, the 11-piece phenomenon has performed over 120 shows throughout Western Canada, sharing stages with such artists as Michael Franti & Spearhead, The Herbaliser, Sly & Robbie, Fishbone, Xavier Rudd, Hey Ocean, Albino! and many others. Every performance is an unstoppable dance party. The band’s playful, high-energy live show is fueled by skin-tight arrangements and raw, sweat-drenched passion. From its founding as a six-piece in 2003, the young band has grown into one of the most exciting and unique groups in Canada today. Opening for this incredibly talented group is Seattle's own Scarlet Room - where rock music and cabaret meet; where the theatrical storylines of Eloise Govedare's lyrics intertwine with the provocative melodies of Aleksandra Weil to create something both sweet and twisted. Scarlet Room has created a sound that is wholly unique, like the soundtrack to a dark circus, a sound that whirls around the listener and murmurs exciting promises in their ears. Scarlet Room urges their audience to step out of their comfort zone and embrace the beauty of chaos. As if this isn't enough to get you intrigued....The Harlequin Hipsters will be getting this party started off with Swing, Hip Hop, Acrobatics, and Modern Circus Disciplines that invoke the audience into a spirit of dance, play, and wonder....
