This March, the majestic Pacific grey whales make their return to the West Coast of Vancouver Island, marking the joyous return of spring at the Pacific Rim Whale Festival.
And there’s no better way to celebrate and conclude that return than by grooving to the funky tunes of a superband.
With the announcement of Vancouver’s Lazy Syrup Orchestra headlining the Baleen Bash on Saturday, March 23, you’re in for an unforgettable fusion of oceanic wonder and musical delight.
With its sweet sounds, thick vibrations, and sticky melodies, the Lazy Syrup Orchestra is a frenetic and fun band mixing live instruments and vocals with electronic dance music. They’ve made appearances at Shambhala, Bass Coast, and Envision.
