Hometown Pride

Posted over 5 years ago
Inspired by etcvisitor's post on "Ohio Born Bands":http://mog.com/etcvisitor/blog_post/15996 I did some research on musicians from my City (Calgary, AB, Canada). Here's a sample of our homegrown talent:"Jann Arden":http://www.jannarden.com/"Paul Brandt":http://www.paulbrandt.com/"Chixdiggit":http://www.chixdiggit.com/"Dan the One Man Band":http://www.dantheonemanband.com/ (Not me, I swear)"Oscar Lopez":http://www.oscarlopez.com/"Tegan and Sara":http://www.teganandsara.com/"The Plaid Tongued Devils":http://www.thedevils.com/If I were to expand my scope to the rest of the province (the Canadian equivalent of a 'State' for anyone wondering), here's some Artists from Alberta:"K.D. Lang":http://www.wbr.com/kdlang/"Nickelback":http://www.nickelback.com/"Terri Clark":http://terriclark.com/Sure, they're no NIN, but not too shabby non-the-less.

    ookpik says I love hometown heroes! I have a list of awesome Victoria bands on my MOG. I left out the occasional, more famous, older Victorians like Hot Hot Heat and, uh, No Means No. So which of those Calgarian bands do you actually like?

    democlez says etcvisitor - The red mile was *the place to be* a few years back, but now it's too regulated. ookpik - Jann Arden seems to be a great person in interviews, and I have a few tracks by here, I own two Nickelback albums, and I've been meaning to get into Tegan and Sara for years now.... Amy - So *that's* why you like Limp Bizkit! ;)
