Chasing the DragonForce
The headliners of the sold-out Santa Fox Ball II at the Commodore Dec. 17 are Matt Mays & El Torpedo and Daniel Wesley. Who? Matt Mays plays cod-and-chips rock (he's from the East Coast). Wesley is a Langley-ite who was one of the top five finalists in last year's Fox Seeds contest. Apparently, he also had the most requested song in Vancouver last year with a reggae-modern-rock hybrid "Ooo Ohh," this year's equivalent of Daniel Powter's "Bad Day."
