START YOUR WEEK RIGHT WITH THE V.I.A. WEEKLY PLAYLIST WEEK 184: Five Alarm Funk

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 amazing instrumental band, and Vancouver staple, Five Alarm Funk is back in town after a long summer tour, playing a show at Shipbuilder's Square for the Concerts In The Square series this Saturday (w/ Good For Grapes). We asked the gents to put together today's playlist, which includes MANY bands they have performed, worked, and are friends with, and some killer stand out songs.

Have a listen by clicking the images below, and get yourself over to the show on Saturday!
