Caribou Victoria April 19

What a great show. only slightly less awesome then their holloween show but superb none the less.


On April 19 Caribou Played Sugar Nightclub. I convinced a number of my friends that this was going to be a great show...one of the best of the year. I went so afar as to buy tickes and give them without demanding they pay, for a number of my friends. I've done this before where I end up bing the ticket boy for a dozen of my friends. I usually end up stating that I'll never do it agin...that it only bring agony and heart ache. I ignore that again and bought tickets.
