Garrett Kato just after his three-song secret session.
He’s had a busy year – top ten in 99.3 The Fox’s “Seeds”, top 20 in 100.5 The Peak’s (incredible yet somehow not that well known yet) Peak Performance Project, and he played the Van’s Warped Tour. Despite all this, Garrett generously gave us some time tonight to be the second of the surprise gigs that will be erupting across the city over the next couple of weeks.
Garrett has a voice that stops people in their tracks. Especially female people. Glad I bought my girlfriend with me then. I could tell you all about his music but I’d never do it justice. Better you just go here and check it out instead:

The venue (Blenz on Davie and Granville) had a couple of points of interest. On the outside Canadian fans and a man dressed as a banana (over?) celebrated an 8-0 win over rank outsiders Norway. No offence guys, but they were 1000-1 to win the gold before the tournament even started. I think my odds of wining it weren’t too far behind. Inside the cafe, a lady in full make-up was sleeping on a stool. That takes awesome balance. Or a lot of booze.
Next secret gig coming soon (and video of the last two I promise!). Here are the Twitter feeds you need to be following now so you don’t miss the next one, and we might not announce it from all of us. Maybe we’re lazy, maybe we’re forgetful, or maybe we’re just plain sneaky. Either way, you’ve been warned. And remember, you’ll only get a few hours notice:
