    Aaron Riches of Royal City Interview: I would estimate that I’ve attended in the region of 2,000 gigs, maybe more. I’ve witnessed some amazing things during this rolling cavalcade of sound, light and human interaction. Standing as part of the tight circle surrounding him on the dance floor, I all but spoke in tongues as a Blind Boy of Alabama hollered out the deep scars of his heritage in a gospel frenzy. A mouse held me transfixed, the tiny thing somehow avoiding death by mosh, weaving miraculously through pile-driving boots to bolt for freedom in the gents - as Joey, Johnny, Dee Dee and Marky tore the sucker up. Rickie Lee Jones descended into seemingly serious mental collapse before my very eyes on a rainy evening in Birmingham. I recoiled in horror as Angus Young thrust his naked, stinky, antipodean arse onto my face. (My friend Andy nicked the metal man’s tie. Still treasures it. Entry that night was 50p with a voucher from Sounds and the support was a film of Kiss. The venue burned down the following week.) I won’t go on. On June 3rd this year, I was presented with a memory to rank up there with them all. It did not involve daredevil rodents, sweaty Australian posteriors or any of that. To many present, such an act of grace may be viewed entirely differently and is probably long forgotten. But it will certainly stick with me. It was a gig almost not meant to happen. The Broken Family Band had spent a great deal of effort in organizing a long-awaited tour for Knife In The Water, with whom they would go out as a labour of true love.

  • Bio // Dan Mangan // Nice, Nice, Very Nice
    BIO // DAN MANGAN // NICE, NICE, VERY NICE Album: Nice, Nice, Very Nice Catalogue #: A&C055 Format: LP / DD / CD CD/Digital/LP Release Date: August 10, 2010 Heralded as a favorite among Canada's new breed of independent musicians, Dan Mangan’s travels initially took him everywhere but home. Spending most of the last six years toting guitar and merch-sack, Dan experienced Vancouver as more of a resting place than roost. He toured nearly non-stop in support of his debut album Postcards And Daydreaming, testing his words, honing his craft, and building a dedicated following. Graciously, if un-strategically, Mangan pretty much accepted every gig that came his way. He train’d and plane'd on his own throughout North America, Europe and Australia because he couldn’t afford to bring a band along. When he cobbled together funds to get a second album made, he enlisted Toronto based producer John Critchley and spent weeks at Green Door Studios, bringing in musical collaborators from around the country. By the time that sophomore album, Nice, Nice, Very Nice (named in reference to a Kurt Vonnegut calypso) hit the airwaves across his homeland, Dan had already cut his teeth on the road. Recently signed to Arts & Crafts, the trail-blazing indie label that brought us Broken Social Scene, Feist, and Stars, Dan Mangan is the first on their roster from the Pacific Northwest. Though Vancouverites once envied the thriving music scenes of Montreal and Toronto, Mangan’s rain-soaked hometown has since developed a potent scene of its own – in recent years, its eclectic and supportive musical community has produced the likes of The New Pornographers, Ladyhawk, You Say Party! We Say Die!, Black Mountain, and Japandroids.

And with it our beliefs and values. This year’s HowtheLightGetsIn theme is ‘New Gods: Icons and Ideas in a Changed World’. Are the great narratives that have built and sustained the West under threat? And, if so, what are the new gods that will replace them? This year we have a whole new field to add to our festival space, with new venues and a wider and larger range of events. Although the festival site and the programme continue to grow apace, we are determined to keep the informal atmosphere and the intimate feel that has made HowTheLightGetsIn such a special event. Our line up of philosophers, writers, politicians, scientists, musicians and performers includes many names you will recognise, but HowTheLightGetsIn is not about celebrity: it’s about ideas and playfulness. Our events are the backdrop to creating a space where real conversation and genuine human interaction can take place. And it’s not all going to be cerebral. There will be music and bands and parties into the night, along with documentary screenings, comedy nights, and free acoustic events all day every day.
