START YOUR WEEK RIGHT WITH THE V.I.A. WEEKLY PLAYLIST WEEK 170: "Last Week In Music" is 3-Years-Old!

SCENE AND HEARD showcases the independent music scene here in Vancouver.

sceneandheard SCENE AND HEARD showcases the independent music scene here in Vancouver. With over 28,000+ artists, boasting more than 140,000+ tracks, the CBC Music/CBC Radio 3 web site is the absolute ultimate authority, and the home, of independent music in Canada. With that massive library along with tools for members (free to join!), we’re taking advantage of what they’ve set up by bringing you a fresh batch of music every week featuring local groups who have tracks (entire albums, even!) on the R3 site.

We're turning 3! Or at least the "Last Week In Music" column is...so I thought, what's a great way to celebrate? Maybe go through all 154 columns to date and make a playlist of every Vancouver(-ish) band that I've photographed over the last 3 years.

Turns out it's a lot...over 195 YVR bands, and at least 50 bands from outside the city; not to mention all the festivals I've shot too. It ends up being a mind-boggling amount.

So take a listen below...click on a band you've never heard of before, see a band you haven't seen live and:
