Start Your Week Right With The V.I.A. Weekly Playlist Week 253: Dear Rouge

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.

Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell ROCK! The holidays always provide a copious amount of awesome shows, and this one is no exception. Dear Rouge finishes up their cross-Canada tour with Phantogram at the Vogue Theatre on December 14th, with Mounties also performing.

We asked the talented duo to put together an early Christmas present for you: this week's playlist! - which you can hear by clicking the images below.

So make sure to put on your Sunday best, and head to the Vogue on the 14th to start the countdown to the holidays.
