Over this Easter Weekend here in Whistler we where proud to be the host of the Whistler World Cup Ski Racing of 2009. After the trophy’s where awarded to the top athletes competing in the event we where able to enjoy some free music on the Whistler village stage.
Animal Nation
Yesterday I along with everyone else in the village were able to enjoy the performances of Animal Nation and DNA 6. The music started off with a couple MC’s getting the stage warmed up with some horrible antics and singing some “rhymes” which comprised of the only 2 words “Yeah” “Yo”. It was a shame we bad to listen to it but opening act’s have the hardest gig in town.
Armadillo Slim
When Animal Nation hit the stage around 3 o’clock the crowd started to get into a good vibe with the amazing tunes Animal Nation was airing. They where opening up with some new songs off their new album which will be releasing on April 24th. You can check out some of their new songs Including Party Animals on their web page here.
MC Dosia
While I was in the crowd during the Animal Nation performance you could tell everyone was enjoying their music and their quirky jokes (I even laughed at some of them); Even the parents where laughing and getting into the music. The crowds started to grow and people started dancing.
Ryan Stewart
Once Animal Nation finished up there was a small gap before DNA 6 came on stage and when they did they brought a whole new high energy show. Their lead rapper MC Dosia (who also has a new album comming out soon) had some awesome vocals and knew how to pump up the crowd.
Alex Maher
Alex Maher played some awesome guitar but his jazzy saxophone playing was a joy to watch, he put so much love into the sax it just sounded amazing. Along with the sax I was able to enjoy some awesome percussion played by Ryan Stewart paired with some wonderful guitar and vocals by Mario Vaira; It was such an amazing show – can’t wait till they come back.
Mario Vaira
Animal Nation and DNA 6 put on great shows, if you have the chance to see them live do it and you’ll be glad because these guys know how to interact with the crowd, put on an amazing show and play some awesome music!
