Weekly Photo Roundup - June 22, 2016

Saturday night was a satisfying night of musical goodness at the Biltmore Cabaret. The stage was shared by Jenny Banai who quietly warmed up the room with her soft voice and simple, spiritual, Joni Mitchell-esque music accompanied by her guitar.

Next up, Alexandria Maillot played her official Vancouver album release party for Time (check out our interview with her here!) and got the full force of a band and backing vocals to layer up her music to bring it to it's full-bodied potential. Switching from keyboard to guitar, every instrument she touched bellowed beautiful sounds to an audience for the first time.

Lastly, Scenic Route to Alaska brought up the energy and drew in the crowd for the big hurrah of the night, changing up the atmosphere to that classic 3-piece indie rock band vibe that us Biltmore goers know and love.

Weekly Photo Roundup for the week preceding April 20, 2016

Christine: Well, I wish that this post also featured photos from Record Store Day 2016 & Lovecoast show, but alas, I seemed to have lost a card of mine somewhere at Caprice Nightclub during the Beer Wars event. But there are a few pics and videos from the day up on instagram - click here to see them and give us a follow!

Good news is that I DO have photos from the Modern Space show at the Cobalt last week with Catlow. And you can check them out above. I'm still humming this earworm.

Jess: Friday night at the Biltmore, Jess checked out Edmonton outfit The Provincial Archive for some refreshingly solid, no frills indie rock. If you haven't yet, check out their latest EP (self-titled) on Bandcamp.

Weekly Photo Roundup - March 2, 2016

Last week in raincouver, a few beautiful women fronted some badass bands to break up the dreary week. Hamilton's own Basia Bulat, touring her latest album Good Advice, got Fortune Soundclub packed out to the brim. She took us on a wild ride through her upbeat new music and some stripped down classics, of course breaking out the hammer dulcimer to everyone's delight. 

Rococode played an intimate set to celebrate their release of the long-anticipated full length Don't Worry, It Will Be Dark Soon. It was a short and punchy introduction to what will surely be a long listening relationship with the album.
