a show

Last night I saw a The Hive Records showcase, featuring a bunch of BC bands playing for a bunch of BC expatriates. I missed the first band, Parks and Rec; Great Aunt Ida was charming; Chet was lead singer Ryan Beattie sans band, and was reminiscent of Martin Tielli's first solo album; They Shoot Horses, Don't They? was Franz Ferdinand plus Donkey Heart plus a brass section.

I ain't got no sample mp3s lyin' around, but you can find some of these bands' music in the little player thing at the top of the Hive site. Chet tracks can also be heard at their New Music Canada site.
