The Shivas have been called “the hardest working band in show business”. While that is impossible to measure, it’s also not far from the truth. Since their humble beginnings as high-school best friends almost two decades ago (the band formed in 2006), they have been grinding away tour after tour – visiting over 25 countries – and album after album – this is their 10th LP. Their sound has always evolved as they have grown, and worked with different labels and producers, but it has always stayed true to the psychedelic vision those kids had years ago at the very beginning.
WUT are three friends from Vancouver making jangly pop music with a punk rock heart. Being in love with craft and the handmade, they love to create- and have together released a cassette, a full length record, and 12 homemade music videos. Their heart-felt live shows will have you hugging your friend while raising your fist at “The Man”.
Blue Fantasy began as a recording project (and an excuse to get together and hang out) for Saskatoon musicians Shelby Gaudet (the Radiation Flowers, Lucy’s Seduction) and Christopher Laramee (Runway, Wasted Cathedral) and Regina musician Christopher Sleightholm (Snake River). After recording on and off for a few years they completed their debut album in 2024, which is a homespun jangly garage folk kaleidoscope daydream. They added drummer Charles Lamire to play live, with the full lineup they can take the songs to new places. In 2025 they released a split LP with Chicago legends Plastic Crimewave Syndicate.
