Calgary has a much better music scene than people tend to think. I've been in bands there, and here in Vancouver...and Calgary is much better in my opinion. People here are a bit too jaded or pretentious to really try anything unique, Calgary's a growing city where a lot of trends and cliques and such have yet to really be established. Calgary's the kind of place I can see some real things happening musically because with the booming economy and the growth, will come more diversity in people, and their need for artistic outlet. With the success of people like Feist and Chad VanGalen, and also the recent Sled Island festival, there is more and more attention being given to music in Calgary. Not to mention the Calgary Folk fest is very good, way better than Vancouver's...and CJSW is probably the best university station in the country. If you look past all the country and CJ92 love, Calgary actually has a whole lot to offer musically.
