SCENE AND HEARD showcases the independent music scene here in Vancouver. We interview some of our favourite local artists, post weekly guest playlists comprised of Vancouver artists and ‘Last Week in Music’ highlights some of the concerts happening around the city... |
This is the first of two Scene and Heard's that will be shared, photography-wise, between myself and our marvelous fill-in photographer Leigh Eldridge. You might remember Leigh from that time that she subbed in for me when I went to Ontario. Well right now I'm blogging from Whistler (where I am with my family) and next week I'll be...well that's a surprise that I'm tell you about during next week's playlist! So you'll see lots from her in the next few weeks!
Back to the music...This week I caught the Yukon Blonde/Plants & Animals show at the Commodore and Leigh went to the first concert in the West Coast Pop! series - Rococode, The Racoons, and Bend Sinister.
THIS WEEK IN MUSIC: As much as I'm excited to be in Whistler, I'm missing an AMAZING show at The Railway tonight: Redbird, Sumner Brothers, and The United Steelworkers of Montreal (GO TO THIS!). On Thursday be sure to go see The Albertans, Analog Bell Service, and Hot Panda at the Biltmore (and listen during the day to Radio 3 to hear the TOP 20 announcement - did you vote today?). Friday is The Provincial Archive with Jordan Klassen, Fisticuffs and Jocelyn Price at Waves On Howe. Saturday you have two choices, or just one if you don't have a ticket to see Jim Bryson & The Weakerthans (with this week's playlist creator Siskiyou) at the Biltmore (it's sold out!) - alternatively go check out West Coast Pop! at the Red Room ft. Wassabi Collective, The Midnight Hours, and Cruel Young Heart.
