Frankie McQueen seems to be less good since they changed drummers IMO.

Braids, Montreal now? Will post best song I have heard this year by a Calgary band when I can track it down.

No change in dummer as far as I know. They have swapped their bassist and guitarist the last couple years though. Lead vocalist/guitarist and drummer are the two original members left.

I'm a Truck is an awesome song, but I always like when they did "Dancing Cop" or whatever song it was at live shows.

This video is remarkable - Tau Ceti on FM Moving Pictures

Are Tegan and Sara still considered a Calgary band?

[toonmaster]

No Belvedere?

[YYC in LAX]

Candelora has easily become my favourite local Calgary band. Happened to see these guys play in LA at a bar called Whiskeyagogo when I was there on vacation in May. They killed it and then I found out they were Calgarian! I met the entire band and kind of hung out with them that evening. They were all really nice and down to earth.

I went to see them play at Republik just this previous Saturday too and they did not disappoint! They debuted some new material which they are pressing for a demo I believe.

My girl she loves me good,
I think she always will too.
But in southern Alberta, southern Alberta,
his neck went redder as the sky turned blue.

Anyone remember the local band Zuckerbaby? I remember in junior high there was an article in the paper stating they would be shooting a music video at some high school in Calgary and were asking people to show up to be part of the crowd for it.

I was so bummed I couldn't go because it was during school hours, and back then they had a music video on muchmusic already, so it was a pretty big deal for us youngsters.
