As an aspiring rock star, Dave Faber put music first and everything else second. He supplemented his income by giving private guitar and drum lessons, and, according to MuchMusic, enlisted the help of a promising drum student and two other musicians to create a demo tape in 2004. This caught the attention of Nickelback producer Joey Moi and his creative partner, Brian Howes, who teamed up with Faber to co-compose Faber Drive's debut album, Seven Second Surgery, a record whose single “Sex and Love” earned it the title of Vancouver's best band in 2006 through 99.3 The Fox's battle of the bands. The track's bobbing bass lines and gritty vocals capture the energy they deliver on stage and inside bounce houses to set the tone for the rest of the release, which includes the dynamic rock ballad "Tongue Tied" as well as "Killin Me," a powerhouse single with soaring guitar leads and synths drenched in space effects. Then, in 2009, the success of the band's sophomore album, Can't Keep a Secret, trumped its debut by spawning a pair of Top 10 hits.

In support of its latest release, Lost In Paradise, the group pairs up with pop-rock outfit Fighting for Ithaca and pop siren Victoria Duffield for a cross-Canadian tour. Best known for placing in the top 6 while a contestant on YTV's The Next Star, she released her first single, "Shut Up and Dance" in 2011. The club-ready hit earned her heavy radio rotation with its pulsing beat and straightforward message to a verbose college professor.

The Odeon Events Centre

Two historic buildings, the Royal Bank and Odeon Theatre, joined facades in 2009 to create a 20,000-square-foot venue. After a series of renovations, including the removal of unnecessary walls and movie projectionists, the space was capable of holding up to 1,000 people and hosting major touring acts such as Puddle of Mudd and Buckcherry.

The Groupon Guide to: Basketball Plays

Though it might seem like basketball players are just running around to maintain enough sweat to look beautiful on television, they are actually running complex offensive plays. Here are some simple plays that you can try out next time you hit the hardtop:

Dribble Drive: Each offensive player grabs a basketball and dribbles to the hoop. The one who dribbles fastest wins the points.

Pick and Roll: One of the players "picks" which teammate he believes will be the one to shoot the ball. If he is correct, the player that took the shot has to call a timeout so he can immediately get his reward—a "roll" filled with ham and creamed corn.

Backdoor Cut: This is considered the trickiest play in basketball because it requires the offensive team to distract the defense by having their coach put on a top hat, wander onto the court, and ask the defensive players if they'd like to see what his head looks like without a top hat. If the defensive players ignore the coach's distraction, the offensive players should blow on the defenders' eyes until the dryness becomes unbearable.

Which basketball player was voted most beautiful?
