Best jam night out ever!!!

It has been a little while since I have had time enough to be able to write but I will say that my life has been rather boring and I could not give two fucks to share about things but this weekend I can say was  fucking interesting .. well not so much Friday when we went to Atlas pizza and got escorted out because my girls hair is pink and blue so they decided her id was a fake.. But the date night worked itself out when Dover pizza on memorial drive and 52nd n.e fucking loved us and the food was undeniably delicious .. Congrats Dover pizza and our server who was the greatest I have ever experienced :)

K now to the best jam night ever .. well a house party / jam night .. I have been online friends with a portion of these people  so was everyone else really.. So it was more of a musician meet and greet which is fucking rad to me! .. Jammers from other bands and even myself enjoyed some of the best dip I could imagine, get down to drinkin and rock the fuck out till the wee hours of the morning with not a single complaint!! We gotta do more of this in this city because I know that it will bring together soo many new projects!!

Cheers!!-BSK

Loss In Calgary's Music Communtiy

As you all probably know about the tragedy that has happened in the last few days Zackariah Rathwell and Josh Hunter of local band Zackariah and the Prophets (among others) have passed away in a multiple stabbing, that has been deemed as Calgary's worse mass murder. It's a tragic loss of two young and inspiring talented young men and something that’s greatly shaken the community.They had just released their debut EP and they had played a sold out show at The Palomino on Saturday. We have such a close knit and amazing community and although not knowing them personally I do feel a great loss. For everyone in the community stay strong and band together they will not be forgotten, keep their memory alive through the music and dreams and aspirations of these young gentlemen.

From everyone in ALTCITY our deepest sympathies go out to the friends and family of all that have been affected by this tragedy.







You can listen to their EP here

Flowshine 
If you are into chill tunes this band is definitely for you! Alternative/Cool Rock band who I have spent countless hour listening to for going on 2 years and their song "Good people" has haunted my dreams and worked its way into the theme of every road trip I have made out to B.C :D I still listen to it to this day when I am down and need a pick me up! Just an all around great sound to chill to! Check out their website Here !!
The most recent show that I can recall them playing is this>
Great band to check out! Cheers to them! -BSK
