Live concerts are meticulously coordinated events, with dedicated staff ensuring each instrument is tuned, each mic is working, and each band member is set in the upright and locked position. Keep their hard work from going to waste with today’s GrouponLive deal: for $17, you get one general-admission package to see The Fugitives, C.R. Avery, and Wil at The Vogue Theatre on Wednesday, November 2, at 9 p.m. (up to a $34.50 value). Doors open at 8 p.m. Packages include:
- One general-admission ticket (a $27 value online, including all ticketing fees)
- One drink at the bar (up to a $7.50 value)
The Vogue Theatre presents listeners with an evening of poetic lyrics, high-octane guitar playing, and euphonic melodies from three talented acts. Hailing from Vancouver's east side, The Fugitives combine intricate songwriting with folksy musical accompaniment to craft hypnotizing live performances that tickle ears and help uptight pocket watches unwind. C.R. Avery dazzles audiences with deftly flowing spoken-word poetry, percussive beatboxing, and ear-tickling harmonica riffs, and guitar-picking mastermind Wil shreds six-stringed music makers with moody, intense songs of love and loss. In addition to individual acts, a group performance will combine all three acts into an intoxicating musical melange that, like a pig with pterodactyl wings, is greater than the sum of its parts.
The Vogue Theatre houses tunes in an elegant yet modern art-deco interior, ensconcing guests in comfort and acclimating time-travelling flappers to the 21st century.
Groupon Says
The Groupon Guide to: Halloween History
12 AD: The first Halloween occurs when a frightened cluster of druids throw handfuls of candy to distract a roving band of ravenous moor children.
1931: Fearing competition from other sugared treats and holidays, The Coca-Cola Company teams up with Santa Claus to kidnap Harold the Halloween Horse.
1955: The most popular Halloween costume of '55 was the scariest monster imaginable, a handsome movie star concealing secret communist sympathies. The second most popular costume—cowboy?
1987: Columnist Whitley Gravers eviscerates the growing commercialism of Halloween in a scathing editorial, referring to it alternatively as "Hollow-ween" and "Shallow-ween."
1996: Alarmist parents warn their children not to take any apples from strangers, as they may contain the sophomore album Razorblade Suitcase by British grunge-rockers Bush.
2013: Halloween is cancelled indefinitely due to terrifying monsters becoming real the previous year, thus making it much less fun for everyone to pretend.
