START YOUR WEEK RIGHT WITH THE V.I.A. WEEKLY PLAYLIST WEEK 175: The Ketamines

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.

Okay, someone needs to invent a time machine, or a teleporter, or something so that I can be in two places at once.

This week I'll be enjoying NXNE in Toronto, but you my friends, you need to go to this show:

The Ketamines, Warm Soda, The Ballantynes, Zebrassieres, and Tough Age (yes, FIVE bands) are all playing at the Rickshaw Theatre this Saturday June 15th and it's only $10. Two bucks a band is pretty awesome.

We asked Paul Lawton of The Ketamines to put together a list of songs by Vancouver bands for this week's playlist which you can hear by clicking the images below (it is pretty awesome, IMHO)!

Have a great week everyone!
