Canada Music Week was DECK!

17 Mar 2011 | Categories: Jenavive News, On The Road | Posted by: Jenavive

CMW was MEGA DECK! (Please correct me if I’m using slang wrong lol)
V-dot and I spent Canadian Music Week partying up with some epic bands from across the country. Here are a few of my personal favs:

Canadians:
Imaginary Cities

Young Galaxy
Makeshift Innocence (FROM CALGARY)
Krystle Dos Santos

A few fish from other ponds:
Janelle Monae had an amazing show at the Indies. I’ve never seen such an energy packed performance!
Kaya
Kieran Strange

Overall the week was incredibly inspiring and unbelievably daunting. I’ve returned home with a nasty sleep deficits and am strangely motivated to take it all on again next year.

Favourite CMW moments:

5. Seeing all my homies performing at Bread and Circus for the Alberta Showcase.

4. Sneaking into the Universal Records party at the Royal York Hotel. Such a rockstar move!!

3. Indiepool, an independent music service provider, bringing a “winning” goat to their booth. Lilly was the absolute sweetest goat I have ever met.

2. Indie awards with amazing acts like Hollerado and Janelle Monae

1. Hotel photoshoot with the V-ster that ended in a rap song and the perfect photo to showcase our super pimp attitudes.

The facebook fan page is up and running. Check it out for fun updates and new tunes.

Stay “tuned” for some exciting updates over the next month. Including:

3 new singles. One of which is feature on a full length feature film. More details to follow….

A YouTube channel! A little long in arriving I know. But it will be worth it.

New band members will be announced in a few weeks! You’re going to love them!

Hello lovelies!

Wonder is finally up on iTunes. Just follow the link:
http://itunes.apple.com/ca/album/wonder/id418386141
and share it with your friends.

There’s a new song up on the site and ready for download. It’s a cover of Smoke Baby by one of my all-time idols Hawksley Workman. If you’ve never caught his live show before DO IT. He is seriously one of the best Canadian artists around. I had the pleasure of finally meeting him last time he came to Calgary. Maybe one day we’ll collaborate…
Have a listen and let me know what you think!

Demo versions of two new songs are up on Reverbnation. Go check them out at:
