Punk rock supergroup Dead Bob returns to the Rickshaw stage to celebrate the release of their new album NOTHING CHANGES EVERYTHING! Dead Bob With guests, Aversions and Yep May 23rd, 2026 The Rickshaw Theatre 19+ Doors: 7:30pm Dead Bob Exactly three years after the debut album, LIFE LIKE, Dead Bob continues to mine the archives of old and new Demos that JOHN WRIGHT has created over the years, including two of the last songs demoed for NO MEANS NO with brother ROB WRIGHT. Whereas Life Like was primarily a solo project of John, since the formation of the live band the gang, Ford Pier, Byron Slack, Kristy Lee Audette and Colin MacRae take a far more active role in this record. NOTHING CHANGES EVERYTHING is a 35 min. 8 song release that takes you on Bob's journey and keeps you wondering, “Where the f**k is this going next!” Balls to the walls and head in the clouds, you're in for a treat. With a couple years under their belts and the return of Selina Martin to collaborate on another song, Dead Bob takes it to the next level. deadbob.ca Aversions Vancouver three-piece Aversions make clamorous post-punk that is at once cathartic and anxiety-inducing, where the structured womp of post-hardcore shares space with the chilly, subterranean textures of goth to conjure a unique strain of “lush brutality.” Empty Century, their band’s fourth release, finds them expanding on 2023’s hard-hitting You Wanted the Bike with songs that run the gamut from straight-ahead goth-rock on “Empty Century” and “Kind Word” to proto-metal, Sabbath-like ballads like “The Cockroach.” With appearances on Bandcamp’s New and Notable, Spotify editorial playlists such as “All-New Punk” and institutional Canadian outlets such as Exclaim! magazine, Aversions continue solidifying their place within the landscape of certified Canadian rock and roll lifers. aversionsband.bandcamp.com YEP Yep is a synth-driven prog-punk power trio from Vancouver. Think ELP playing Fugazi, with weirdo interlocking harmonies layered on top. The band is made up of Craig Stensrud, Madison Mayhew, and Gil Goletski, and on stage the rapport between the longtime friends shows itself whether they're performing their intricately arranged music or goofing off between songs. yepyepyep.bandcamp.com RSVP on Facebook Refund Policy No refunds, unless event is cancelled.
