Break the drums, tear the strings, turn up the speakers and make some music! No Holds Bar is a carefully orchestrated, off-the-cuff explosion of Vancouver’s finest musicians, bringing together world drums, including the dhol and tabla, as well as bagpipes, and fiddle. Throw in the Bay Area’s hottest DJ Jimmy Love with Seattle’s DJ Collage and local spinster DJ Tspoon, and witness a cyclone of energy.

Welcome to music to the extreme, ripping at the seams with instrumentation from all over the world to create bumping mayhem. Tip up your cup, pull out the bhangra and do some head banging to western/eastern music fusion; something you have never heard before. This is an evening of high-intensity music, dance, and jam.
Featured Artists include San Fransico hip-hop bhangra DJ Jimmy Love; Seattle’s DJ Collage; from Vancouver’s Beats Without Borders crew, DJ Tspoon; home-town Irish/Punjabi fusion band Delhi2Dublin; the sensous bansuri and tabla over a bed of luscious keyboards with Prashant John; a fusion of tabla and bagpipes with Neelamjit Dhillon and Michael O’Neill; the hard-hitting beats of Punjabi folk music with United Bhangra; Vancouver’s premier South Asian dance troupe FootEdge Dance Company.
