Battery Opera April 27-29:
FUSE, What the Hell, & Bob's Lounge
battery opera is an eclectic and creative duo surrounded by lots of
creative and elcectic friends. David McIntosh is of Scottish
descent, Lee Su-Feh is of Chinese descent… They are very neat people
that like to challenge the audience, as well as ensure that everybody
has a good time. Last year, Lee Su-Feh was listed in the
Vancouver Sun list of influential Chinese-Canadians. The Bob's Lounge
duor of David and Max performed at the 2005 Gung Haggis Fat Choy Robbie
Burns Chinese New Year dinner event.
