The Sylvia Platters

Hope you can join us on Fri, Oct 3! No cover charge as always at the Princeton. CHINA SYNDROME is a rockin' melodic power pop band from Vancouver, who combine the driving pop hooks of XTC and Sloan with liberal doses of classic rock influences. Georgia Straight states their album, Hide in Plain Sight, "continues to showcase superb songwriting… with songs every bit as engaging, tuneful, angsty and varied in their influences.” Keen appreciation for melody, melancholy, and noise is THE SYLVIA PLATTERS' stock in trade. Described by Rosy Overdrive as “one of the best guitar pop bands going,” the Vancouver fourpiece has been crafting idiosyncratic jangle pop gems since 2014. Their 2024 Grey Lodge Records debut Vivian Elixir received international praise and peaked at #7 on the national earshot! charts. There is nothing sudden about SUDDEN DARTS. A hard-edged, psychedelic band with roots that go back decades with a pedigree punch of punk ‘n’ pop that’ll knock you sideways. This quartet is firing full-bore, releasing their Oh Yeah! album.
