I really thought the sun was going to stick around for a minute. But what am I thinking? It’s only April. As they say: "April showers, bring more showers, until it’s August, then it’s sunny for another couple of minutes, maybe." Or something like that? On our plate this week to fight the drear:
Monday April 4: Electronic music drum circle? Worth checking out! Battery Powered Music @ Backspace. 8pm, $5
Tuesday April 5: Do yourself a favour and go to this show. Tuesday is the perfect day to be melted into the floor by way of carefully soaring vocals. Hosannas new album has been on repeat at my house for the past week and a half and it’s as glorious as you’d expect from these brothers. Just go to The Rumble with Hosannas, Hello Electric, and Vanaprasta @ Holocene. 8:30 pm, FREE!
Wednesday April 6: Guidance Coulselor, Ghost Animal, Blast Majesty, MSG, Invisibly Boy @ Holocene. 8:30 pm, $5
Thursday April 7: Ghost Animal, Vacant Fever, Cousins, Duzheknew @ Ella St. Social Club. 9pm, $3
Friday April 8: Typhoon, And And And, Brainstorm @ Doug Fir. 9pm, $12
Saturday April 9: RAA came through town a while back and destroyed Backspace with their own brand of subdued choral awesomeness. I doubt they won’t do it again. Not to mention Lord Huron and Aan. There is no question as to where you should be tonight. Rural Alberta Advantage, Lord Huron, Aan @ Doug Fir. 9pm, $12
Sunday April 10: A definite toss up (for me at least) – Lightning Bolt @ Holocene for $12, or Pigeons @ Mississippi Studios for free. I’ll flip it, you call it!
