The concept of giving art a birthday was introduced by French born artist / peacenik Robert Filliou (associate of John Cage, by the way) In 1963 asserted that 1,000,000 years ago, there was no art.

Cole Petrone is an accomplished singer-songwriter who has been entertaining audiences all over the world. Combining a smooth tenor voice with an artistic finger-picking style, Cole has crafted a unique indie sound that has often been compared to that of modern James Taylor and Paul Simon.

As a finalist in both the “John Lennon Songwriting Contest” and “Great American Songwriting Contest”, and as acknowledged on “Billboard Magazine” and radio stations throughout North America, Cole’s originals are truly heartfelt gems that resonate with authenticity. Listen to the podcast of The Morning After Show on CiTR 101.9 FM where Cole Petrone performs LIVE on studio and talks to host Oswaldo Perez Cabrera.

Psychedelic band is ready to make waves in Vancouver with their trippy, well crafted music. They have two EPs Welcome to the Planetarium and the new one is Moon Aura and they are working on an acoustic album called Purple Sun. “We like to call it sonic rock whatever that is, sort of cracking the distortion a bit and definitively some psychedelic there” tells me Caelin Roza one of the members and singers, “We have three lead singers, kind of Eagles style”.

Synthcake came with a blast, their music added the missing part to complement an hallucinatory trip that converted the Cobalt into a room that you could only enter through the rabbit hole.

In 2009, The Beauties were declared “Best Roots/Country Band” by Toronto’s NOW magazine. Listen to the podcast

The band has a unique sound and they are true warriors of the independent scene. Talented musicians that got together in March of 2009 as an acoustic experiment. They have played and play in groups like the SSRIs, Like Animals Again, The Barcelona Chair and Friends From School, also you can see them jamming with other musicians like Brasstonaut, Olenka and Sciences.Listen to the podcast so you can hear them experiment on AIR with their music and listen to their newest song playing on the radio for the first time.

Jon Anderson is a legend in his own spare time as he jokes about it. He was the founder of the legendary band YES, lead singer and composer of many of the tracks including the hits “Owner of a lonely heart” “Leave It” and “It can happen”. YES was always labeled as a progressive rock band “there has always been progressive music, I don’t call it progressive rock, I would like to call it progressive music, we were not just progressive, our music was based on rock, jazz, folk, it was a combination of all that

Listen to the podcast in the postcast. I was blown away by the quality of this band. I have an EP called Simon Says and it is really good but it doesn’t capture the energy and the charisma that they portray when they play LIVE! The songs will crawl into your head and stay there until you have to play them in your stereo at loud volume.
A lot of bands and influences rushed through my head when I was watching at them, the first one was De Lorean, that Spanish band, but also some songs really remind me of The Strokes, so I guess they pop indie rock is between the electronic ambient of De Lorean and the guitar riffs of the Strokes. “Joy Division” says Miso, the singer “The Smiths” replies Valentino, other answers start flowing “New Order, The Cure, Britpop, Donosaur Jr. The Velvet Underground, T-Rex”. I saw them at the Biltmore and invited them to The Morning After Show a couple of weeks after that to know more about this indie band.

This show was to support the fundraiser for the Galiano Conservancy Association so we had Marley Daemon playing LIVE! on the show plus Tamara Nile calling in. Some of the best folk artists played that night at the Waldorf. MLA Spencer Chandra Herbert was there speaking and besides CiTR, CJSF CIVIL radio and Shaw TV were there among other musicians and friends.

We started the show with Silvania from their fourth album Juniperfin, it goes back to building atmospheres and creating images out from sound textures: industrial soundscapes, ambient, a present for the sensibility, as a walk among the clouds. Always a step ahead of their time. We heard Aldrin

This is going to be my third year of doing this. The first year I did an hour of noize like Merzbow, Naked City, Keiji haino, Death Ambient, stuff like that combined with ultraed and Throbbing Gristle. I read some poetry, dark poetry, I played three \Cds at the same time, it was maniac and insane. The second year I did two hours and I repeated the show of the year before but added some Le Mystere des le Voix Bulgare and sosme Rey Trueno from mexico, some Ozomatli and Jorge Reyes, some crazy Mexican. It was two hoirs of madness. Those shows you can still find them on www.citr.ca go to my podcasts and look for the Radio Art episodes. This year I am going to do it again, go wild with noize, this year I am going to put exclusively SPANISH AND LATIN NOIZE so expect top experimental, VERY RARE AND VERY WEIRD some of it has never been played on the airwaves.

Some say that God was born out of the ejaculation of another god, a being that was more god or “goder” than him. That was the Big Bang explained by some wako porno creationists. There are other wacos that believe the Earth is just like 20,000 or so years old. That just corroborates the theory of evolution and demonstrates that the human brain is not very evolved yet, but will it be enough time to perfection our computer inside our skulls? The believers of the “holy” book now are afraid because the birds fell from the sky and the fish died in the ocean. Apolcalyptic times my friends. Destruction. We started the show with garage pre punk band from 65 We also played some of the best bands of 2010 from Vancouver according to this website.

This show was dedicated to the metal scene as we had Sinister Black as out special guests saying goodbye to the old year with a bang! The list pretty much says it all. The members of Sinister Black include Wayne Powell on the vocals and guitar, Gordzilla on the bass and Ron Pistell on the drums. These guys are very energetic and their style is not so much metal, it is a hybrid cross between punk and heavy rock, but you can also hear Sonic Youth as an influence, the result of the band is loud, fast and furious music.
Don’t forget that The Morning After Show is broadcasted LIVE every Tuesday at 11:30 AM PT at 101.9 FM in Vancouver or you can listen to it on line at www.citr.ca

we had an anti christmas show today because we are against consumerism, don’t buy love this Christmas and if you do, support local businesses, avoid corporations and malls, support social causes, don’t make the rich richer, help the poor. Don’t think that Jesus is coming to save you, we need to save ourselves. So that being said we played some cover songs by artists like Leonard Cohen, Stevie Wonder and also the atheist song by XTC Dear God, a classic. We also played some Brown Christmas by El Vez, the Mexican Elvis Presley. More weird music, we have some phsychedelic music from Turkey, Bolivia, and Peru from the 60s and 70s. Awesome. We also had Jay Beck as a special guest. Jay is a multi/instrumentalist from Vancouver who has played in different bands, he played a couple of LIVE songs. Catch him playing on the 30th at Nyalas on Main street.

Your future favourite song is here in this show, so be part of the movement. Every Tuesday at 11:30 AM PT on CiTR 101.9 FM or www.citr.ca I always play local musicians, like John Pippus, The Wizerdz, Henry and the Nightcrawlers, Bradley, The SSRIS, really cool bands.I also played some heavier stuff from this point and local heavier stuff like The Executives, Sinister Black and more music from different parts of the world

We started the show with a band called Cougar from the UK and the De Lorean when they were way cooler with the song DeFunked, then we played the Obits from their Cd I blame you. We had Dan and John from the Executives, they have a CD called a New Form of a Social Sins. “When the Pope came with new forms of social sins, there were not sins before but now they are, so I think it sound cleaver so we stole it from the Pope” said John, the singer of the band. Among their influences are the Stone Temple Pilots, Pantera, Alice Cooper to Bach, Kate Bush among others.
