Vancouver electronica duo Au4 released new album “…And Down Goes The Sky” on May 7th. With story-like lyrics and meticulous soundscapes, Au4’s “And Down Goes the Sky” sweeps its listeners into a world where fantasy dances with science, where the sacred joins the profane, where simplicity embraces complexity, and where life meets death. Listeners travel amidst the lush layers of pads and strings, operatic incantations of angels, pounding rhythms of deep electronic sequences, and the intimate whispers of singer and guitar.

Summer’s just around the corner, and SHORE 104.3 FM is fired up to announce the return of SHOREfest at the Honda Celebration of Light.

A blend of minimal phrased piano and dynamic drumming.
The pursuit of a live experience composed of visual and audio expression.Formed in 2006, with elements of jazz, funk, post‐rock and electronic music, Mouse on the Keys fits into a genre of their own.

They teamed up with Daisuke Niitome, who has played drums as well as composed music for countless jazz‐funk and hip hop bands. Their unique sound, comprising two pianos, two keyboards and drums, continue to stand at the forefront of the Japanese indie scene.

Friday night brought a bunch of love, music, spoken word, comedy and dance together at the B Ex. I use the name B Ex because that place is now a friend to me, so that calls for an endearing nickname. For those of you who have not yet discovered what the B Ex is, please do. It is the British Ex-Servicemen’s Association, located at 1143 Kingsway Ave in Vancouver. On Friday nights it is home to local entertainment from the indie scene, hosted by Oswaldo Perez Cabrera, a man who has found a way to help shine the spotlight on local music.

Vancouver, BC – Mexican singer/songwriter Lila Downs makes a triumphant return to the Chan Centre, Sunday April 21, 2013 at 7pm with a program that fuses traditional Mexican music with blues, jazz, and soul. Her latest album, Pecados y Milagros (Sins and Miracles), was heavily influenced by traditional Mexican votive paintings.
