This collaborative page aims to become a comprehensive listing of release dates or Western Canadian tour stops of notable indie-ish artists. It’s where to refer to when you want to find out when a certain artist will be releasing an album, or to see if an artist you like is coming to the Vancouver or Calgary areas. This list is driven by user submissions — you can help it grow by submitting your own hot news tips! The bottom of this page will help answer any other questions you have.

Each listing starts with the release date, linked to the primary source of information. The pertinent details, like the band name, producer or the venue, are listed after that. Date format is YYYY.MM.DD.

Why just Western Canada?
That’s where we live, and it’s a big deal when signed artists make it out to our neck of the woods. The furthest north they usually make it on tours is The Gorge in Washington State.

What’s the submission criteria?
Well, admittedly, the list is pretty subjective: I post about music that I like. Luckily for you, if you’re visiting this site, we probably share similiar tastes in music. If you need more clues, visit my Last.fm page for the stats on the top artists I listen to.

How do I submit my own tips?
Just send them my way using this contact form, and I’ll add them to the list as soon as possible. Make sure you include a link to the place you discovered the info, and a few words (about 10) about your news.
