Shows, Shows, And More Shows!
That's right - spring has sprung, and it's time to see live music! At least it is if you're in Calgary...and come to think of it, spring hasn't so much "sprung" here as it has "sponged"...dang rain...thinks it's Vancouver...
Anyway, the shows:
-Thursday, April 13, it's Jay Crocker's hometown CD release party at the Warehouse. Complete with eight-piece (count 'em, eight) band behind him, Jay will fete Melodies From The Outskirts in grand style. Opening acts are FFWD cover boy Shane Ghostkeeper and the ever-in-demand Lorrie Matheson. Tix are $12 in advance (at Hot Wax for sure, maybe at Megatunes; if you have trouble, e-mail info@savedbyradio.com) or $15 at the door (and apparently the Warehouse has undergone renovations, so even if you're not into music, it'll be worth checking out just for that! ;). There are also shows coming up in Edmonton, Victoria and Vancouver, so head to Jay's website for more details.
-Friday, April 14 is Good for many reasons, not least of which is the release of the Summerlad's Saved By Vinyl 7-inch double B-side, "Carnus Magi"/"Everyone Scolds The Wolf". It's new. It's blue. It's vinyl! The party is at Broken City, and will also feature They Shoot Horses Don't They? and Windows '78. Go!
Not a show, but a piece of news nonetheless: word has it that AA Sound System's new album Songs For Pretty Girls is a step closer to completion. We'll keep ya posted!
