The Georgia Straight presents We Are The City at the Vogue

Vancouver-based rock band We Are The City will play an all-ages show at the Vogue Theatre on Thursday, July 4, in support of its upcoming sophomore album, Violent.

Consisting of high school friends Cayne McKenzie (vocals/keyboards), Andrew Huculiak (drums), and David Menzel (guitar), the group has undergone both personal and musical change since 2009's In a Quiet World , undergoing lineup alterations, relocating from Kelowna to Victoria to Vancouver, and painstakingly honing its sound.

Produced by Tom Dobrzanski (Said The Whale, the Zolas, Hey Ocean!), Violent promises to be an album full of contrasts with soaring highs and hushed comedowns.

Advance tickets to the show are priced at $18 (plus service charges and fees) and go on sale Friday (May 17) at 10 a.m. but Straight readers can take advantage of our exclusive presale on Thursday (May 16) from 9 a.m. – 11 p.m. by going to the Northern Tickets website and submitting our exclusive presale password VIOLENT.

Tickets are also available for purchase by phone at 604-569-1144.
