Goodbye Beatdown isn't just about firing off simple party tunes but their music is intended as a soundtrack to good times. They aim to be uplifting and leave an air of positivity everywhere they play. There's a free flow of energy between the stage and the audience that stems from modelling their set after the way a DJ would play a dance party. The songs flow from one to another and it's all done on purpose from tempos to keys and audience interaction. Cory Myraas, Cameron Lutz, Luke Mortensen and Rob Raybould make up Poor Little Rich Girl and together since late 2008 have made big waves in the Okanagan music community.

We here at Habitat are mere days away from the hustle and bustle of The PEAK Performance Project which has already technically 'kicked off' with the Orientation back in June but really heats up with Boot Camp this Friday at beautiful RockRidge Canyon Resort in Princeton.

"In these tough economic times, no one has been affected more than the struggling musician. Thankfully, there's a beacon of hope: A Vancouver radio station called 100.5 The Peak is doing everything in it's power to promote local music, and provide financial stability for the scene. Together, alongside some of Vancouver's favourite artists, we have reached deep into our hearts to create a tribute to this station.
This is our tribute. We hope that you will also reach deep into your hearts, find your inner struggling musician, and join us in this journey towards a world where musicians can live free from the stresses of day jobs, rent payments, and reality in general. There is still hope..."
