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”.

The East Vancouver band Tyranahorse will be special guest at Tuesday`s Live@Lunch, a free September lunchtime music series. The gig will be hosted by Oswaldo Perez Cabrera on The Morning After Show, live broadcast between 12-1:00 pm.
Tyranahorse describes itself as a noise, grunge, classical, pop, old country, hip hop, rock, and early hardcore band. Its last album, Ghostwolfmotherhawk-prairieunicornlionlioness, is inspired by noise, grunge, kazoo, pop, classical country. hardcore, The Pixies and the B-52′s.

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.

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

Folk sensation from the island is completing a cross country tour.They are stopping at the Cultch on June 17th and at The Morning After show on June 14 (www.citr.ca 101.9 FM 11:30 AM PT) where they will be playing some LIVE tunes and talk about the experiences of their tour, and share some songs from their new production.

Fish & Bird are buzzing throughout the Canadian music scene! The indie-folk powerhouse band are touring in support of the release of brand new album Every Whisper Is A Shout Across The Void, shaping up to be their breakout record.

Robin Guthrie is playing with Brendan Perry at the Venue June 9th “I don´t think I am coming to promote my latest release” he told me via telephone from Britany, France where he has been living for the past 10 years, we are chatting On Air on my radio show The Morning After Show on CiTR 101,9 FM “I don´t think I am going to play anything from it, generally when I play on my own I do nice guitar things and I don´t generally play with a band, but now I am doing a little tour with Brendan so I am going to do something different. I am playing with some other musicians, I am doing a few new things, some old things, probably nothing that I have recorded before, I don’t like to promote records I don’t do that stuff, I just like to play”.

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.

Oswaldo Perez and Jason Pawlett ran into Nardwaur at The Biltmore at The Mint Records Christmas party 2009. After a few great bands and a few good drinks the boys huddled around in the cold to chat. Nardwaur was kind enough to share some of his experiences with CiTR 101.9 FM, Snoop Doggy Dog, Courtney Love and Nirvana.

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

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
