Indie Music Monday – Transit

Indie Music Monday – Transit

Categories: Indie Music Monday | Posted by: Jenavive

Tony and I were lucky enough to grab last minute tickets to Transit’s fist pumping CD release show this past Saturday at UofC’s Mac Hall Ballroom. Transit’s latest album, Stale, was officially released January 3rd, 2013. You can sample and buy the album here: http://transit1.bandcamp.com/album/stale-4

If you love hip hop you will not be disappointed.

The show was packed with awesome performances and special guests like Jesse-James Cameron from Makeshift Innocence (www.iriemi.com), Joe Nolan (www.joenolansongs.com) and Sykamore. Newcomer The Blue rocked the stage performing a powerful duet with Transit and beat-savvy DJ Crosswalk (www.facebook.com/dothecrosswalk) kept the tracks and filanthrofists going all night.

Overall we were completely blown away by this high-energy jam-packed show.

Honorable Mentions:
N.e Natural Ensemble (www.naturalensemble.com)
The Bagpiper who should up for the last song

Indie Music Monday – Hello Moth

Indie Music Monday – Hello Moth

Categories: Indie Music Monday | Posted by: Jenavive

This week’s IMM spotlight is Calgary based singer-songwriter Hello Moth.  

Armed only with a vintage Casio VL-1 synth and a loop pedal, Hello Moth adds layers and layers of lo-fi texture to create warm, entrancing songs.

Don’t let the VL-1 fool you with it’s small size, and kid’s toy-ish charm.  Hello Moth proves it’s not the size of the synth that matters, it’s how you use it.

You can check out Hello Moth’s website here, or his facebook page.

It’s Caturday!

Whats this??

Calgary is known for having crazy, unpredictable weather. One minute, it will be -20°C, and five minutes later, it will be a balmy +5°C.

This summer it hailed ping-pong ball sized pieces of ice, denting cars and trees in the area. I went out and grabbed a couple pieces and put them in a hi-ball glass.

Roadie seemed curious, as always.
