Vancouver’s indie music scene comes alive on Saturday, March 8, 2025, as Advance Base, Little Kid (Solo), and Chris-a-riffic take the stage at LanaLou’s for an all-ages show. Presented by Rickshaw Theatre, this special night of soft rock and lo-fi indie sounds promises an intimate and nostalgic experience for music lovers.
Advance Base, the melancholic solo project of Owen Ashworth (formerly of Casiotone for the Painfully Alone), headlines the evening with his signature lo-fi, synth-driven ballads. His music, often described as “depressed yet weirdly uplifting,” blends minimalist instrumentation with deeply personal storytelling. Fans can expect a performance featuring electric piano, Omnichord, and drum machines that create a warm, electronic atmosphere.
Joining Advance Base is Little Kid, a Toronto-based indie folk project known for its deeply introspective lyrics and lo-fi charm. Formed in 2009, Little Kid has built a reputation for self-recorded, emotionally resonant full-length albums. The solo set at LanaLou’s is sure to showcase the project’s raw, unfiltered sound.
Chris-a-riffic, a Vancouver-based songwriter, rounds out the lineup with his unique approach to indie rock. Known for crafting his best work during moments of chaos, his set promises an engaging and unpredictable performance.
