Holy F**k where ya been Steve?



Holy Fuck "Milkshake" video

Hey radio fans. Steven here checking in. Been a long time since I posted here. I've been in Yellowknife, Northwest Territories for about a year almost (how time flies). Recently Stuart Flanagan of The Signal Show told me that he had seen electro-instrumental groovers Toronto band Holy Fuck play live. Great band that has two lead keyboardists that have all these little synths crazily wired together, a live drummer and bass player. I started thinking about them again and how I haven't been keeping up with a lot of the great indie music coming out of Toronto since I left home. So I have to recommend their new album simply called "LP." How can I describe Holy Fuck. If you're a fan of LCD Soundsystem, !!! and Add N To (X) you may dig them. I say watch the video above to get a feeling for them. That is the latest thing that I am really digging as of late. Also the new album from Thao, I've rediscovered my lost love for the excellent Spoon and also enjoying the new Black Mountain.

Something else that has been a lot of fun in the past little while is my involvement as a part of the music selections committee here in Yellowknife for this summer's Folk On The Rocks Festival. Lots of great bands this year (nothing to announce officially yet). Last year Great Lake Swimmers, Sarah Harmer and Sadies were just a few of the great bands who appeared. This year promises to be just as good. I've also been enjoying the major music geekery of a monthly party that a few friends and I have been running called SnowMAN (stands for Snow Music Appreciation Night). We all get together with a theme (the past two have been "Generic" and "Take It To The Man" with next month's being "What's Wrong With You?"). I've met some great indie music geeks like myself and it's fun. It's a great way to get exposed to new music.

Well not much else to report. I apologize for those of you who are missing RadioSteven. I am considering reviving it again in the next couple months so keep checking back.
