START YOUR WEEK RIGHT WITH THE V.I.A. WEEKLY PLAYLIST WEEK 211: The Courtneys

With over 36,000+ artists, boasting more than 150,000+ 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.

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

When you receive a playlist that's nicknamed "Big Shiny Vancouver 5" you know it's going to be good...and the girls of Vancouver band The Courtneys didn't disappoint. It's a little bit of everything Vancouver, and a great way to start you week.

You can catch the band performing with The Pack A.D. this week (and Dead Soft) at the Rickshaw Theatre on Friday...and before that, click below to hear their playlist!
