So tonight is Friday, you are kicking around Calgary. You lean into the bearded guy next to you and say, “Brother, what the hell do you do in Calgary on a Friday night?”. Well, thank you for asking….
Tonight’s official Slowcoustic recommendation is taking place at the “Arrata” venue (all ages surprisingly enough) and goes something along the lines of:
Come on, you can’t do much better on a Friday night….in Calgary….right? It all goes down at the Arrata Opera Centre at 1315 – 7th Street SW!

Okay there you have it, our recommendation. So it might not be as “hip” indie as some others (hello Olympic Plaza featuring Fucked Up, Why?, Ted Leo & The Pharmacists, The Thermals, Built to Spill and Girl Talk) and actually might get a little out there/ambient especially with DM Stith and Azeda Booth on the bill but it should be interesting! I think the break out star here will be the lovely Silje Nes…just sayin.
