<p>Happy Friday music fans!</p><p>
Let's get Thematic: It's an April Showers with the promise of May Flowers kind
of day in Toronto today. This week we look ahead to the Hamilton Spring Music
Festival May 8th, 9th, 10th with an interview with festival founder Rob Rapiti.
Rob shares his thoughts on the Hamilton scene and this years festival. IndieCan
will help rock Steel Town - we'll be there all three days. And we will have a
special announcement about the Friday night but here's a clue to hold you until
next week: GRADY - its' worth the trip to Hamilton, May 9th!</p><p>Vesta Varro
is our feature artist this week. During their frist trip to Toronto, they won
Indie Week Toronto last Fall, they rocked CMW and the complete their Triple
Crown of Southern Ontario festivals with a return to the Hamilton Spring Music
Festival. We're delighted that we caught up with them St. Patricks Day in
Toronto.</p><p><br />Sarah Burton has the first ever We Are Many - WAM Festival
in Saskatoon this August on her mind and an Earth Day musical event at The
Gladstone in Toronto April 22nd as a tune up. Sarah changed the title of her
record from SHOULD HAVE SAID GOODBYE to LOVE IS FOR PUSSIES. We hear a tune
from that record. Clearly there are more pressing things on Sarahs mind these
days than matters of the heart. This from the WAM website
www.wearemanyfestival.com:</p><h5><i>The greatest barrier to environmental
change is the sentiment "I'm
only one person." To overcome individual feelings of powerlessness,
<strong>We
Are Many will attract a significant portion of Saskatoon's citizens who
will become the first major group to sign a pact to promote
environmental sustainability and lead greener lives.</strong></i></h5><p>April
22nd at the Glady arists and fans will be talking about what steps they are
prepared to take as individuals to lead greener lives. There will also be
drinknig and singing going on, you can be sure. If you are moved to help out, we
can get you in touch with Sarah at www.indiecan.com</p><p /><p>This week we
introduce IndieCan listeners to Sean Ashby, After Ring and Fourway Flashers. We
hear from Young Rival (Hamilton Theme), Lotus Child (busy in studio), Lara Yule
Singh (busy on the road) and Alex Tintinalli (our feature next week).</p><p>In
this busy i-my-face-space-book world, friends are imporant. Thanks for your
continued support. Have a great weekend everybody.</p><p><br /><br />Joe C and
