Chilliwack released twelve albums over a 15 year period producing numerous Canadian and international hits. All this work led to 15 gold and platinum certificates, a host of awards, high profile TV appearances and coliseum concert tours. The Spoons are a Canadian new wave synthpop formed in 1979 in Burlington. They recoded several Canadian chart hits between 1982 and 1989, and in 1983 they won Group of the Year at the U-Know awards. Early in the band's career, they opened for The Police, Joan Jett and toured with Culture Club. Chilliwack will perform the evening of Friday, September 11, and The Spoons will perform the following evening at 9 p.m. After 8 p.m. on the Friday and Saturday Ribfest is only open to those 18 years of age and older who have purchased – and are wearing – a valid wristband. Wristbands cost $5 each and are sold at the Aurora Family Leisure Complex and the Stronach Aurora Recreation Complex, as well as on-site at Machell Park. For more on the Ribfest headliners, please see next week's edition of The Auroran. --------------------------------------------------- Images: --------------------------------------------------- Excerpt: Two iconic Canadian rock bands, Chilliwack and The Spoons, will perform at Aurora’s Ribfest this September. --------------------------------------------------- Post date: 2015-07-30 00:12:31 Post date GMT: 2015-07-30 04:12:31 Post modified date: 2015-08-05 14:38:51 Post modified date GMT: 2015-08-05 18:38:51 ____________________________________________________________________________________________ Export of Post and Page as text file has been powered by [ Universal Post Manager ] plugin from www.gconverters.com
