It sounds like Vancouver's live music scene is going to take another big hit this summer, as the Dominion Hotel and Lamplighter Pub have been purchased, and any gigs booked from September onwards are tentative at best. What's going on with this city?! Does nobody see the value in good live music venues? There is an ever-widening void in this town for comfortable, fun rock n' roll venues. Let's pack the Lamp for the rest of this month and show our support - maybe the new owners will renovate and create something even better...but I'm not holding my breath.
Long Live the Lamp.

I can't say I have ever been, but it'd be a shame to see it's website go offline. It's so rad!
