The second annual LIVE at Squamish festival takes place this weekend, Aug 20 – 21. Metric, Weezer and Girl Talk headline the two-day, two-stage event, which also includes a few other features (see below). To kick-off the festival, organizers have planned a party tonight at the festival site in Squamish.

The free, limited capacity Sound Check party features performances by The Matinée, My!Gay!Husband! and Kuba Oms and the Velvet Revolution.
