This week marks one of the hottest events in Calgarys summer Sled
Island Music & Arts Festival. Jampacked with the best of the
best of indie bands, the city will be taken over by bicycles, bands and
beer. We are sharing our top three picks for the festival this week.
The Legend: Jon
Spencer Blues Explosion
If you are looking for a really wild rock nroll time you wont want to
miss Jon Spencers legendary show. Based out of New York City, the Blues
Explosion is a crazy mix of rockabilly, blues, punk and garage rock. www.thejonspencerbluesexplosion.com
The Must-sees: The
Dodos
The indie-folk duo The Dodos are performing again at Sled Island the
first time since 2008. Theyll be playing tunes from their new album
releasing August 27, Carrier. www.dodosmusic.net
The Up-and-Comers: Fist
City
A good band to dance and wriggle to, locals Fist City just returned from
their first European tour and will rock your socks off throughout the
fest. A good combo of surf, grunge and all around danceable garage rock. www.fistcity.bandcamp.com
