START YOUR WEEK RIGHT WITH THE V.I.A. WEEKLY PLAYLIST WEEK 160: Sunshine

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

sceneandheard SCENE AND HEARD showcases the independent music scene here in Vancouver. With over 28,000+ artists, boasting more than 140,000+ 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.

The Sunshine album release party is happening this Wednesday at The Astoria with Big Nothing and Pleasure Cruise, and I'm pretty damn stoked. There's some familiar faces in the band, including the likes of Trevor Risk of Ice Cream Social, Sean Tyson of Top Less Gay Love Tekno Party, and Tyler Quarles, our very own Art Director for the VIA Magazine!...

You can stream the album by clicking here, AND we asked the band to put together a playlist of their fav Vancouver music...which you can hear by clicking the images below. See you Wednesday!!!:

Oh, and because it's awesome check out the video for Sunshine's song "Showering With Wine"
