“Life CAN suck, SO what can I do?” is a benefit concert to bring immediate awareness to the severity of depression in teens and their silent cries for help; to let them know they are not alone, and to provide them with the resources that are accessible to them. It takes a community to raise a child, therefore, starting right here in Nanaimo, we are committed to helping them take action through freedom of speech (what are THEIR perspectives on depression and seeking help), and offering them hope through inspirational stories from their peers.
We are promoting resources that provide them with tools necessary for coping with life, and creating the change necessary to see life through new eyes. We invite you to be a part of this movement to create positive change! Help us help them to fight for their rights!
Bands performing: Uncle Chubby, Sarah Wood, Theo Trio, Handsome & The Horribles, Pauline Edwards, Steven Ill Lyrics Dickinson, Syl Pike, James Cunningham & Family, Liesha Dallas, Gold & Shadow, Plastic Chair Explosion, Headliners (School of Rock)
As sort of a "Brother" band to Handsome & The Horribles (being that every member of Handsome is actually IN the Pearly Whites), I feel it necessary to promote them a little bit.
Myles Black & The Pearly Whites are a folk/indie/rock band based a Victoria, Gabriola and Nanaimo. 10 members strong, they are a force to be reckoned with.
They just released a new self titled album and are looking to play the songs for whoever wants to hear them. Check them out!
