Archive for month: March, 2018

The calendar for the next couple of months keeps filling out!

For one, we’re happy to join up with 104.9 The Wolf to host Whale and the Wolf in the Exchange on April 7. The great Edmonton, AB rock group played to a packed house here within the past year, and we’re happy to have them back along with locals Small City Blues and Dead Levee.

Zandra Productions are bringing New Jersey’s Senses Fail to the Exchange on May 24. The group’s been pounding out post-hardcore for over 15 years now, and with great touring support from Sharptooth and Lil Lotus, there’s no reason to miss this one.

A new album from Saskatchewan artists is always worth celebrating, and we’re particularly excited for the new one from Nick Faye and the Deputies in the Exchange on April 14. You’ll get to hear songs from Stumbling Distance while also getting the pleasure of A+ openers Andino Suns.

The folks at Regina Folk Festival always have good taste, proven once again by them having Donovan Woods in the Exchange April 29. The Ontario folk artist has a new album, Both Ways, out and it’s full of the stellar, well-crafted songs he’s become known for.

You can find tickets for a lot of these shows online at Ticketfly. Find ticketing info and more about all these shows and all the great goings-on here at the event listings on our website.

Queen City Rocks. March 15 and 29. The Exchange.
It’s incredible to think how long 104.9 The Wolf’s long-running battle of the bands has been going, but not quite so impossible when you consider the wealth of Regina rock bands they have to draw from. These’ll be the final two dates of the year, including the Grand Finale on March 29. Tickets available from the bands or online at Ticketfly.

Sean Burns and Lost Country. March 16. The Club.
His latest album is called Music for Taverns, Bars, and Honky Tonks. On this particular night, it’ll be music for the Club when the Winnipeg-based artist joins up with new Regina roots act the Furriers. $10 at the door.

The Dears. March 17. The Exchange.
The Montreal, QC husband/wife duo of Murray Lightburn and Natalia Yanchak have been leading this group for over 20 years now, in which time the indie-rock group has released seminal Canadian records like End of a Hollywood Bedtime Story and No Cities Left and more recent effort like Times Infinity Volume Two this past year. w/ Lou Canon. Tickets available at Vintage Vinyl, Madame Yes, and online at Ticketfly.

Caveboy. March 19. The Club.
The Montreal trio are on of Canada’s most buzzed-about dreamy indie-pop groups. They’ve had music featured in shows like Orange Is the New Black, You’re the Worst, and Awkward and are on their way out to JUNOFest. $10 at the door.

Real McKenzies. March 20. The Exchange.
Bandleader Paul McKenzie is leading this Canadian Celtic punk group into our room a few days after St. Patrick’s. All the same, we expect tracks off their new album, Two Devils Will Talk, to spark some raw energy and drunken tradition in the room. w/ the Raygun Cowboys and Bats Out!. Tickets at Vintage Vinyl, Madame Yes, and online at Ticketfly.

Jory Nash. March 21. The Exchange.
The Toronto-based artist has eight albums to his credit, all showcasing his blend of folk, jazz, blues, pop, and soul. The independent Nash tours and creates relentlessly, with a new album coming up in the future. $17 at the door.

Reverend Horton Heat. March 22. The Exchange.
The good reverend is staying true to his evangelical calling, making us all the richer and “psychobillier” for getting to tag along. This packed bill is getting a lot of interest, so get out and grab your tickets soon. w/ Unknown Hinson and Igor and the Red Elvises. Tickets at Vintage Vinyl, Madame Yes, and online at Ticketfly.

Pass the Hat. March 23. The Club.
These mainstays of the Regina comedy scene don’t quit. Every month, standups get up in the Club for a packed house to deliver laughs on a budget. Pay what you want.

The Jam. March 25. The Club.
We’ve confirmed the next three dates for Regina’s only 19 and under monthly jam session, so you’ll have plenty of opportunities to come out and join jammers of all experience levels. Free.

We’re excited to have Girls Rock Regina down to the Club on March 19 for Montreal’s Caveboy. Bringing out one of our favourite community groups to hang out while a great Canadian trio plays should be a blast and we’re allowing free entry for everyone 14 and under who might want to come talk to GRR.

GRR is a volunteer-based organization dedicated to empowerment of self-identified female, trans, two-spirit, and gender non-conforming youth and adults through collaborative music creation and performance. They’ll be on hand in the Club on March 19 to talk about their annual camp, registration for which runs until March 24. (Read more about them at their website.)

Caveboy are one of the nation’s most buzzed-about dreamy indie-pop groups. Michelle Bensimon, Isabelle Banos, and Lana Cooney have had their music featured in shows like Orange Is the New Black, You’re the Worst, and Awkward. They spent two weeks recording in Ireland last year, and will soon be on their way out to JUNOFest.

So if you’re 14 and under, come out to the Club on March 19 to see a fun band and learn more about Girls Rock Regina. And if you’re older than that, come out anyhow for a good time.
