Who are five Calgary artists that have rocked your world in your city over the past year? And why?
Faux fur, hollow brethren, lab coast, Rap X and mama safari
These bands are made up of a core group of players in the calgary scene that extend way beyond their own bands. Most importantly for me is the crossover into the improvised noise scene which is very dominant in Calgary. Chris Dadge is the brains behind "Bug Incision", which is responsible for bringing a lot of strange artists into town as well as Brad Hawkins who documents almost all of the shows pro bono. For me this represents a lot of hard work and perseverance over a decade of the most exciting and innovative music I have seen in calgary – or anywhere for that matter! Nice work dudes! - CBC radio 3

Bio
``Something New`` says at least 100 people. A spoken word rap that enforces its skew with image scatter bombs weaving through time and perspectives. Dissecting truth while building a reputation of bombastic live sets. The producing credit goes to Scott Munro a Calgary legend (Chad VanGaalen, GhostKeeper, Rueben and the Dark) whos vision for the project was a time in rap music just before gangster, when the funk notes were changing into rock riffs. Pairing up with Micah Stone the outsider poet who treats his raps like a sacred exercise where he taps into a heavenly conversation between Charles Bukowski Kurt Vonnegut and Richard Brautigan.
