Free concert at Robson Square by Yuca
I was roaming the streets of downtown Vancouver with Emme Rogers after the opening of the House of Switzerland, and we ended up staying at Robson Square to catch a little bit of the concert that Yuca offered as part of the Cultural Olympiad. We only stayed for a couple of songs but we were lucky that we were able to score a couple of CDs. I really like Yuca’s music, it’s a bit on the hard-rock side of things, but seeing as it is a local band, I’m always looking forward to attending more concerts and supporting our local talent.
On their website, you can download 3 tracks in MP3 format, which I strongly recommend you to do.

Having just listened to a bit of Yuca, I dig their sound. Now I’m really kicking myself for not hanging around downtown on Friday.
I also happened upon Yuca while wandering around downtown. They were definitely a pleasant surprise, and did a surprisingly awesome cover of Thriller. Apparently they won (or placed?) the Fox Seeds competition a few years back.
They were, as you mention, an incredibly pleasant surprise! I didn’t get to hear Thriller, but I’m dying to hear it!
