Current events in Habitat and beyond…
Kelowna may be boring, but there are diamonds in every rough. This month gives K-town a few interesting events to look forward to.
First off there are three huge names to get out of the way; Lenny Kravitz (who looks his best as I first saw him, wearing only a python and his guitar) starts the Love Revolution November 3rd, The Kenny Ray Rogers kicks it old school on the 18th of November, both at Prospera Place. David Usher (who had silver finger nails last I saw him live) is touring his new album Wake up and Say Goodbye, he’ll be playing at Flashbacks on November 6th.
Also playing on November 6th is Bend Sinister. They play the Habitat, with their new album Stories of Brothers, Tales of Lovers. Bend Sinister is mix of progressive indie rock who self-categorizes as “a band so refreshingly original that the struggle to categorize them is a losing battle.” Slow Down Molasses, a six piece consisting of members & ex-members of some of Saskatoon’s finest bands who play dreamy indie folk music, will introduce them.
A couple of days earlier on the 4th of November Jason Collett brings us his Dylan-esque drawl via the Habitat. Collett grew up in the suburbs of Toronto before moving to the city to pursue music. He will be playing with Rock Plaza Central and Zeus he brings us his fourth album, Here’s to Being Here.
The World Music and Dance Festival will be held on November 7th at the Rutland centennial hall. An unforgettable night-Flamenco, Balkan, Gypsy, Middle Eastern, Afro, Latin, Indian. Also featuring Flamenco dancer and bellydancers. This evening is a must to experience, especially if you’re into something a little different and can’t really afford to travel on that student budget. Delicious Lebanese-Mediterranean food, bar, entertainment and dance all night.
Don’t miss a plethora of UBC and OC staff and students as they join to raise money for writing scholarships at both institutions. WOR(l)D RUCKUS is a pay what you can event held on Saturday November 15th from 4pm to 1am featuring rad readings and free stuff.
