Last Thursday in Vancouver, Civet opened for Nashville Pussy at the Rickshaw Theatre. The Long Beach all-girl punk band knows how to dress, especially when playing a concrete bunker on the corner of Main and Hastings. We sure as hell wouldn’t mess with these Civet gals, especially when Suzi Homewrecker is sporting such fab footwear…

British pop singer Kate Nash brought her risky fashion sense to the Commodore Ballroom in Vancouver recently as part of a tour in support of her new album My Best Friend is You. Not sure about the dress or the tights, but the shoes aren’t embarrassing:

I didn’t mean for this to become a blog about footwear, and I promise to return to our regularly scheduled programming, i.e. CD reviews and, I don’t know, random stuff, ASAP.

But then photographer Michael Caswell sent in these photos from the Nouvelle Vague show at the Venue last Friday (Feb 5 2010)…
