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... |
From Valentine's Day, to another Toque Session, to Jordan Klassen's EP Release, to Said The Whale at Rogers Arena, and finally The Matinee at Venue...it's been a wonderful week of music in Vancouver.
THIS WEEK IN MUSIC: starts with a very special Polaris Prize Salon at the Waldorf TONIGHT! I'll be moderating a panel of Polaris Jury members talking about some of the albums released this year. Also, it's sponsored by our friends at Steamwhistle...so you DEFINITELY dont want to miss this! Wednesday at the Biltmore, Maurice is in town and will be performing, as will Library, and Redgy Blackout. Thursday check out the Hey Ocean Toque session at the CBC, followed by The Sumner Brother tour kick off at the Waldorf, with The Greff Band, and Dave Phillips Band. Friday...is slightly insane. There are basically ALL of the shows happening...so here goes: Michael Bernard Fitzgerald, and Acres Of Lions are performing as part of Winterruption on Granville Island, Wintermitts are having their album release party at Interurban Gallery, Sunny Pompeii and Badgerchild are doing acoustic sets at Our Town, The Ruffled Feathers are over at The Cellar, and Pleasure Cruise and The Gay Nineties are at The Astoria. - Saturday, isn't too less crazy. First head to The Rio for the Little Mountain (Said The Whale's new album) advanced listening party and screening of the videos created by our besties at Amazing Factory...then haul it over to Performance Works for Aidan Knight, and The Belle Game as they perform for Winterruption. Lastly Jasper Sloan Yip is doing two sets for the same festival on Sunday and they are both free! - then sleep my friends, sleep.
