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 past week I saw Henry and the Nightcrawlers at the Cobalt, a show presented by The Green Couch Sessions to celebrate Canadian Music Week. All the sets were filmed so look for them soon on their website. The next day I headed to the Biltmore to see PS I Love You co-headlining with Diamond Rings.

This Week In Music: You may already know since they did the VIA Indie playlist this week but Friday is the Portage and Main CD Release Party at the Anza Club (get your ticket ASAP, word is they’re going quickly). Saturday is another edition of West Coast Pop at the Red Room, this time with Eric Solomon, Guilty About Girls and Tara Lett. Lastly, Monday is the BCIT radio station Birthday Bash at the Biltmore featuring Henry and the Nightcrawlers, David Vertesi and Redbird.
