START YOUR WEEK RIGHT WITH THE V.I.A. WEEKLY PLAYLIST WEEK 244: Altered By Mom

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

With over 36,000+ artists, boasting more than 150,000+ 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 "Then & Now" fundraiser for Megaphone Magazine is back - put on by Vancouver band Altered By Mom - this Friday Oct 10th at the Wise Hall. The line up features Shaun Verreault of Wide Mouth Mason, Hot Panda, Cityreal, Tonye Aganaba, The Wild Romantics, Badgerchild, and Chersea.

Each artist or band will be performing a song inspired by "Then" and a song inspired by "Now", and the proceeds of the night will go to Megaphone!

We asked Devon Lougheed of Altered By Mom to put together this week's playlist - on the "Then and Now" theme he chose songs by the artists performing at the upcoming concert for "Now", as well as some inspirational Vancouver artists from back in the day for "Then"...oh, and his HIGH SCHOOL band as well.
