New Music you should love... Think About Life

If you weren't at Luckybar last night (and judging from the rather weak turnout, you weren't) You may have missed the best show that club has seen in a long time.

Montreal based up and comers Think About Life tore the roof off of the place, and are deserving of your admiration and attention.

Family Outing




Whats the point of getting your hair did if you don't have anywhere to go? Well, we lablings made a night of it last night at Lucky Bar. Local heartthrobs Celebrity Traffic had a little EP release party with lab lifetime membership holding DJ TOUCH BASS, and Vancouver's Guilty About Girls. The sound was fantastic, the crowd was devouring all of it, and its safe to say that we all had a blast! Sometimes Victoria can feel a little sleepy, but last night it was wide awake. Nothing like spring and some raucous dance music to get the blood pumping. Let's do it again soon!

OMG OMG OMG



Look which long-time lab client is burning up the tabloid headlines. Victoria lad and soon to be tween heartthrob, Ben Nemtin, has been spotted kaknoodling with MTV's "the Hills" and "the City" Whitney Port. Doesn't seem Ben is wasting any time getting nestled in. We think its the hair, but we might be biased because he gets it cut by lab's very own Maia Simpson.

Want "the Ben"? Get Maia to recreate it. Book online now!

New Kicks on the Block




Check out what our friends up the block just got in. These are the 3 new styles of Native Shoes spring/summer 2010 collection. They are super light, injected foam, biodegradable shoes that manage not to look as earthy as as the infamous Crocs. In person, they look great, you'll say wow when you lift them up and apparently "remarkably comfortable". If you are interested in picking up a pair head down to Still Life Boutique on Johnson st. They will run you $60-70 depending on which of the 3 styles you choose.
