We've said it before and we'll say it again: concerts are making a comeback!

The latest band to get back to gigging in Metro Vancouver is the Boom Booms. The local soul-funk quintet has announced four shows at the Massey Theatre on October 16 and 17 at 7 and 9:30 pm.

The group--composed of brothers Aaron Ross (lead vocals) and Sean Ross (keys), Tom Van Deursen (guitar), Geordie Hart (bass), and Theo Vincent (drums)--was voted Best Unsigned Band in Vancouver five times in a row in the Georgia Straight Readers Poll.

So they're probably pretty decent.

Tickets are priced at $55, and there's a seating capacity of just 50 people per show. You can find more info and a ticket link here.
