On Stage at the Backstage

After a fun drink with the Diane Farris Gallery crew to celebrate the closing of the Twitter/Social Media show, I ran down to the Backstage Lounge to catch Jasper Sloan Yip once more...

I commented to the band that I had yet to see them just play at straight set. First encounter was at the CBC recording session, which had song played a few times in row; next was on the plaza where they'd play between Radio One broadcasts and this time they did two sets alternating with a band called This Is Franco.

Still, they a joy to be around, and excellent to listen to. If didn't get tickets to the sold out Dan Mangan show, they are playing on Commercial Drive in Vancouver on Saturday.
