Saturday night in Vancouver can be often be cold, and rainy. Just another of the many reasons I like the Biltmore. It’s never cold, it’s hot like a tropical getaway, complete with palm trees, macaws and fruity cocktails, this past Saturday was no exception it was hot, and the Biltmore had bands, three solid entries from the local rock scene. Free City Collective was the first band to take the stage. I’d seen some photos listened to some tracks on myspace, and prepared myself for this band. They turned out to be my favorite of the night. Playing without their regular monster of a (6’6” with size 15 feet, or so we were told) drummer, who was sidelined due to a broken finger, FCC managed to play a highly energetic set, of good original rock tunes.
