A show we call "Friends Down in Flames"
As
we approach epic Episode 100 we are in a reflective
mood at IndieCan. This week we look at carnage - great
Canadian bands that have fallen by the wayside since
IndieCan came on the scene in 2006. Fortunately these
artists left behind a great legacy of music that we
were lucky enough to be a part of. We remember Tacoma
Redd, The
Darns, Anti-Hero,
Aide de Camp and
Lucy - may they Rest In Peace.
Still
alive and well we have new music from Latefallen,
Black
Diamond Bay (Patrick Krief), Ben
Sures, Elliott
Brood and next week's feature artist, Justin
Rutledge. We are also pleased to introduce, for
the first time at IndieCan - Night
Flowers.
Hey,
if you like this weeks' show TELL YOUR FRIENDS, send
an email, start a Facebook group. Over 100,000 listened
in during August. Wouldn't it be cool if we had 1
Million listeners by Show 100. Now that would be special
-lol. Enjoy the music, share your thoughts. We're
listening. Hf you like this weeks' show TELL

share their insights into the Canadian indie scenes over
three decades

you get your entertainment from Canadian TV, you know Jake
Gold from Canadian
Idol and if you get your entertainment from the streets,
clubs and arenas from Victoria to St. John's then you know
Jake Gold from his work the The Tragically Hip, The Salads,
Sass Jordon, The Cliks and more. This year, Jake Gold of

themselves ready for graduation until they have
contemplated the impact of Big
Rude Jake. A gifted songwriter, Jake brings
his engaging story telling skills to Show 74
and takes us on a punk meets jazz trip through
a crucial part of the history of alternative
music in the Windsor to Quebec City corridor.
