START YOUR WEEK RIGHT WITH THE V.I.A. WEEKLY PLAYLIST WEEK 51 - Behind Sapphire

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

With 24,525+ artists, boasting 110,865+ tracks, the 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.

So 2011 has started off with a bang for Vancouver's Behind Sapphire...they just released the video for their song "Oh My, What A Fine Day" and, as of this post, it already has 14,321 views on YouTube. That might have to do with the fact that it features Twilight star and Nanaimo-native Jodelle Ferland, but I like to think it's because the video is AWESOME and was made by VIA's good friends Amazing Factory Productions! Check it out at the bottom of the post.

On top of that the boys have an All-Ages show this week in Vancouver at St. James hall with Treelines and David Vertesi - VIAindie will be there and so should you!

To celebrate all of this, we asked Behind Sapphire to put together a playlist for us and you can hear that by clicking the photos below. Be sure to come back next week for our ONE YEAR anniversary playlist!
