Party for the Planet: Hey Ocean! and Lights

On April 27th, 2013, Hey Ocean! and Lights helped Surrey celebrate Earth Day with Party for the Planet, a family-friendly event with free concerts.

Hey Ocean! is a local indie pop rock band whom we've had the pleasure of seeing many times, but they always seem to surprise us with a little something extra. Ashleigh Ball (vocals and innumerable other instruments), David Beckingham (vocals and guitar) and David Vertesi (vocals and bass) were joined on stage by Dan Klenner who was playing the guitar instead of the drums. The second guitar was a pleasant addition, filling out their sound and tipping them a little closer to rock than pop, but still allowing them to pump out compelling dance-inducing beats. I know it has been said many times, but you really need to see Hey Ocean! perform live!

Your next chance to see Hey Ocean! in Vancouver is on July 12th when they open with Jimmy Eat World for City and Colour at the PNE Amphitheatre. Tickets are available at ticketleader.ca

Lights is a Canadian electro pop rock musician who has catchy toe-tapping beats and an exciting stage presence. Despite having a huge following, she is very humble and appreciates her fans. We actually accidentally ran into her hanging out with her fans after the hour-long show!

Lights played a sold-out acoustic show at the Rio Theatre in Vancouver yesterday and will be playing another set tonight!
