Show Alert: A Windsor Two-For
Weds., Jun. 27
Belle Plaine
Phog Lounge
w/ Erin Gignac
Loon Choir
FM Lounge
What happens when two bands you have to see are playing the same night?
You go to both, of course.
It might take a bit of hustle, but there's no way we'd miss either one of these bands. For one, fellow CBC Radio 3 friends play in them-- kidcauley on violin in Ottawa's Loon Choir, bassish (who even wrote her thesis on the Radio 3 community) on bass in Saskatchewan's Belle Plaine. For another, we just saw Loon Choir at NXNE; they were easily one of our top shows. And this is what Carolyn Mark had to say about Belle Plaine's vintage, 1940s-inspired sound: "Belle Plaine is a national treasure - a true Canadian. She can sing like a hot-damn."
Listen:
Loon Choir, from their new full-length album, All Boats Don't Rise: "Bison"
Belle Plaine: "Waikiki"

Crissi Cochrane CD Release Party
Songbird Crissi Cochrane is set to release her new EP, Pretty Alright, this Fri., Nov. 18 at FM Lounge in Windsor. Gin and tonics will be on special, Crissi will be giving away her trademark cupcakes and there will be prizes.
Pretty Alright, the six-song follow-up to 2010's Darling, Darling, was produced by Crissi and Michou frontman Mike Hargreaves and mastered by Michou bandmate Stefan Cvetkovic.
From Crissi's CBC Radio 3 artist page:
"Opening with the daringly bold "I Won't Try To Break Your Heart" and flowing into warm and intimate songs, Pretty Alright proves Crissi is a dynamic vocalist - by turns vivaciously energetic and unassumingly sweet. The home-recorded EP emanates a warm, quiet confidence, making it the perfect complement to autumn and winter months."
Mike Hargreaves and Mary Stewart open.

FunnelFest 2.0 - A Benefit for Scott Funnel

The Windsor music scene is giving back to Scott Funnel by throwing a massive musical bash to support Scott Funnel in his recovery from injuries sustained in a brutal attack on November 13.
Early in the morning on Saturday (November 13), Peter Stewart (better know to the music world as Scott Funnel) was assaulted by three men. The promoter/musician has since had to undergo two brain surgeries and four benefit concerts have now been planned in his name.
Stewart has been involved in the Windsor music scene for two decades and has been booking shows at the Coach and Horses (where he also bartends) for ten years. According to theWindsor Star, he had just got off his bartending shift and was walking to get breakfast when he and his friend, Curtis Byrne, were attacked.
The assault was captured on a security camera from a nearby 7-Eleven and all three attackers were identified. Two of the suspects have been placed in custody, while police are still looking for the third.
Stewart is now in stable condition, but he will need to take a step back from his musical duties while he heals. The benefit concert on Sunday will help him to take some time off work to recover.
"Scott is very, very dedicated to the live music scene -- it's his life -- and now everyone is coming forward," Coach and Horses owner Jay Zeman told the Windsor Star. "He's held down the Coach for years, so many of the local bands, and even bands from out of town, want to help any way they can."
"When news reached me, via Jamie Greer (a die-hard supporter and true friend of so many) that Scott was attacked, I reacted the same way many in Windsor’s music community did." said Phog Lounge's Tom Lucier, "I began to shake, and felt like I was going to be sick. Scott, as many know, works at The Coach and Horses, booking shows, performing, promoting, and caring for our sprawling music community. I don’t see him that often, but each time he comes to visit us at Phog, or on the street, or at other downtown haunts…the greeting is always a big smile and a firm handshake."
FUNNELFEST 2.0 is a two-day, 33-band musical festival that was put together in 24 hours. Each of the 33 bands have some sort of connection to Scott, either from a deep rooted friendship or via a sense of gratitude for what Scott has done for their own musical endeavours over the past two decades. They are all performing for free and all money collected at the door for each of these shows will be going into a fund to help Scott through his recovery.

Doors are at 7pm for all shows. No Cover, but donations are encouraged.
