i don't know about Calgary... but i would assume that it is as busy gig-wise as edmonton has been the last while... all of a sudden we have had a tonne of acts of reasonable interest coming through including: Tiga Solvent/L'Usine Chromeo Jaga Jazzist Manitoba Xiu Xiu ICP (not the rappers) thanks mostly to a couple of local DJs we've had a pretty steady lineup of electro type acts: next week Secret Mommy is coming.. after that i can't think of anyone off the top of my head, but there's sure to be others as far as record stores... in Edmonton there is Blackbyrd Myoosik on whyte ave which is decent, and then there is my home away from home: Listen Records in calgary the best is probably Melodiya, but there are a few way cool vintage stores in Calgary if you are looking for something other than new electronica (and those two stores would be Recordland and Hot Wax) also both cities have a Megatunes, which has sort of become the vaguely commercialized indie stores in the province... i do not like to give them patronage, but my fucking relatives keep giving me fifty dollar gift certificates... my suggestion to you would be to keep an eye out for concerts in the local indie papers... in Edmonton there is Vue and See, and in Calgary there is FFWD and ... something else, can't remember right now... but in either case (Edmonton or Calgary) both zines are available all over the place... so where are you at exactly? are you in one of the cities or are you somewhere in between? |

well... you are in Lloydminster man... electronic music isn't exactly "rural" music here in north america i don't know if its any different in europe... but yeah, if that's important to you and you are planning on staying in Canada for a while, i would strongly suggest finding yourself a nice major city... neither Edmonton or Calgary are impeccable, but there IS a growing interest... |
