YOU'RE THE ONE - SILLY KISSERS


Sometimes the best way to hear about a band is to plug in a friend's ipod, sit back and wait for a tune you haven't heard. Apparantly I had been a fan of the Silly Kissers long before I even knew who the Montreal based group were. I can attribute the exposure to kitchen tables, parties, etc. I'm thankful that my friends exposed me to the innocent magic that is the Silly Kissers.

Being able to sit and listen to their music in it's entirety, I've truly been able to appreciate the songs not blurred by conversation and party voices. I can't get enough of the catchy lyrics, hummable tunes and over all admission of the revival of synth based love songs. There's no dobut you will have this on your summer playlists needs to include the Silly Kissers.

RAH RAH - COMING TO EDMONTON


Rah Rah June 24th – Edmonton, AB – The Hideaway
Doors are at 7
$10 All Ages and Licensed.

"Since making their out-of-town debut at Pop! Montreal in 2006, the buzz surrounding Rah Rah has been growing steadily. They were voted “Best Band in Regina” by a 2007 Prairie Dog’s Reader’s Poll, have played festivals across Canada, and released their first full-length album ‘Going Steady’ via Young Soul Records (Library Voices, Polymaths, National Frost)."

Rah Rah, (Saskatchewan) will be passing through Edmonton on the back leg of their first ever cross Canada tour. It's not a secret I'm a fan of dueling female/male vocals and this group definitely satisfies. Perfect music for afternoon spent on the deck, in a car or just laying in the sun, you'll want to keep Rah Rah on your playlist this summer.
