Most bands who played the Pemberton Festival in Pemberton, British Columbia earlier this summer just came and left. They played the festival and hauled ass back to the US. I was hoping a few might stick around and play a show or two in Vancouver, but that wasn’t the case. My Morning Jacket and The Secret Machines almost got me to attend the festival, but unlike most BC residents, I hate camping. That’s right, I’m a “running hot water and electricity” city-boy. Obviously, if Warren, Gov’t Mule or the Allman Brothers Band had been on the bill I would have sucked it up and dealt with a couple days of no AC, but that wasn’t the case.

With that rant behind me, The Secret Machines are finally returning to Vancouver. And Umphrey’s are playing the same venue (Richards on Richards) in Oct. It’s almost like Vancouver has a decent music scene (it won’t last).
