Satisfaction is the Death of Desire

About Me

I am a promoter, show producer, booking agent, band manager and live music enthusiast. I moved from the Okanagan to Vancouver in 2007. Currently, I am not booking at the moment.
I have produced live music gigs and a variety of special events in the Okanagan for over 5 years. Punk rock, rockabilly and bands with a certain something-something are my favourite genres to work with. I promote underground culture whenever possible to keep it alive and give it a home! Newly transplanted to Vancouver, I am stoked to be working for the Vancouver International Fringe Festival and enjoying city life.
THE BANDS:
Im managing and booking Grim Hymn and the Horrors from Vernon. They are definitely a new psycho force to be reckoned with. They rock strong punk anthems mixed with 50s undertones, a pinch of ‘billy and pure rock aggression that’s sure to assault all senses.
What about the real Vixn that lurks inside the perpetual promoter? I am into the arts and everyday can be a personal exhibition. Im best served hanging with creative people, playing with poster designs and spending as much time as possible listening to music and going to shows. Im a Mehndi artist and play with fire. I have a sick sense of humour and a twisted darkside.
I would like to remain timeless.

My Interests

Music is my world first of all and then I am into Skull collections, Hot Rods, Hurses, Film, Party Planning, Halloween, Alice in Wonderland, Body Art, Nurses, Creepy Stuff, Severed Limbs, Darkness, Zombies, Vampires and reading about or discussing all of the above.

I'd like to meet:

I want to meet bands that want to play a super packed house and willing to work together to throw a good party!
Id also like to meet Vancouver Psychos who know how to Rawk.Support your local live establishments cuz we all know how fast they shut down. Keep the music ALIVE!
