Elevate warmup band has finger on the trigger

AS A WARMUP to Elevate the Arts, Isobel Trigger and National Tape will perform May 3 at the Waverley Hotel.

Based out of Victoria, Isobel Trigger will bring a fresh pop-rock twist to your ever-longing ears.

Formed in 2008, this fantastic four-piece will strike you with their fresh style and high energy live show. With exotic vocals, driving lead lines and fun, heart-thumping grooves the band aims to weave a musical web and draw you to the stage.

Isobel Trigger is about delicate innocence meeting howling distortion; soft whimsical lyrics sweet shiny tones building and crashing into powerful crescendos. It’s Little Red Riding Hood and the Big Bad Wolf all in one!

Members Brett Faulkner (guitar), Felicia Harding (vocals), Kevin Lynch (bass) and Zane Coppard (drums) each bring their own unique elements to these stage, filling the lungs of the music machine.

Isobel Trigger has been compared to The Cranberries, No Doubt, Florence and the Machine and Heart, but rest assured they are no copycats! The unique vocal stylings and enchanting melodies insure that nobody could sound quite like this band, and that’s the way they like it.

Also on the bill, National Tape was formed in the spring of 2010 by songwriter Colin Piazza.

National Tape is a four-piece Canadian indie rock band hailing from Victoria. Their music is catchy, upbeat, relatable and will make you want to dance your pants off.

There will be a $5 cover charge for the May 4 show. Doors open at 9 p.m.

The gig is a warmup to Elevate the Arts, a one-day celebration of arts in the Comox Valley held around Courtenay on May 5.
