Cram Jam fills day with music

 

Rockers Sloan, Daniel Wesley and Ten Second Epic will headline Cram Jam 3, the Kwantlen Student Association’s most ambitious entertainment event to date.

Cram Jam, which will run from 2-11 p.m. on Friday, Sept. 26 at Clovedale’s Agriplex, is an all-ages music festival. Along with the headliners, bands from throughout the Lower Mainland will perform.

One of those, The Fury, gave Richmond students a taste Tuesday when they performed as part of Welcome Week activities. While fans gathered to watch, not-so-excited teachers cancelled classes, and some area residents filed noise complaints.

“They’re fabulous,” said Kwantlen student Minnie Huang. “I can’t wait to see them at Cram Jam!” The band is made up of local musicians who met through Craigslist last winter and is preparing to release its first album this fall.

Other local bands that will perform at Cram Jam include Exit 200, featuring two Kwantlen students, and Tenant, featuring two Kwantlen alumni.

Tickets for Cram Jam 3 are $15 if purchased before Sept. 12 and $20 after that date. For more information and to purchase tickets go to www.cramjam.ca.
