The Provincial Archive

The Provincial Archive is an indie-folk project based in Edmonton, AB. With a penchant for arrangement and an ever-growing collection of instruments, The Provincial Archive writes music to document the details of all our unsung stories. Their sophomore effort, Maybe We Could Be Holy (Forthcoming, 2010), takes its cues from the far-reaching corners of pop traditions. It is a dense counterpoint to the sparse production of their debut material (Nameless Places, 2009) and an artistic departure from a group of musicians eager for growth.

Hot Panda

Formed in January 2006, Hot Panda hails from Edmonton, Canada, and was formed after Chris Connelly and Maghan Campbell returned from living abroad in Oslo, Norway. Invigorated by the Scandinavian music scene, the two snatched up Mike Robertson and Keith Olsen and started producing their rowdy mash-up between the UK's pop-loving supergrass, the rawness of Iggy Pop, and the gritty danciness of Ukraine's Gogol Bordello.

Cadence Weapon

Cadence Weapon continues to firmly establish his legacy as a sonic pioneer while constantly pushing the rap and electronic music envelope. Following his critically-acclaimed, Polaris Music Prize nominated albums Breaking Kayfabe and Afterparty Babies and a two year term as Edmonton’s Poet Laureate, he returns with his new album Hope In Dirt City this Spring. A clearly defined and emotionally mature statement of intent, Hope In Dirt City represents the culmination of these experiences.
