\nLove and Lust comes to town
\n<\/i>Jadea Kelly and Lydia Hol will be performing at Northern Quarter at 9 pm. Kelly has taken home a country music award at Toronto\u2019s Independent Music Awards; she sounds more indie than country to me, but, either way, the venue is an awesome place to take in a show. More info can be found at northernquarter.ca<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Thursday, June 30
\nLab Coast, not Lab Coats
\n<\/i>These guys cite the tradition of DIY recorders like Strapping Fieldhands, early Guided By Voices, and R. Stevie Moore as influences but, apparently, have songs that echo the likes of Teenage Fanclub, Tom Petty, and The La\u2019s. If any of this is sounding remotely right or interesting, then head down to the Copper Owl for further investigation. The show is at 9:30 pm; tickets are $16. For more information, go to copperowl.ca<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Various dates throughout July
\nCheck out our watershed!
\n<\/i>The Capital Regional District is hosting the Get to Know Your H2O water tours again. The tours are free, and you can choose from three options: long tour, short tour, and family tours.

Sunday, July 3

\n<\/i>Toronto\u2019s The Frigs are playing the Copper Owl on July 3; see copperowl.ca for more information.<\/p>\n

Wednesday, July 27
\nCatchy little number
\n<\/i>Rising Appalachia are playing at Sugar Nightclub on July 27. Oh, and about those weird marshmallow banana candies: they don\u2019t taste like bananas taste now because they were flavoured after a different variety of banana that had slightly pink flesh and were smaller and a bit sweeter. Weird! That has nothing to do with the show, but if you\u2019re interested in the show, here: doors are at 8 pm and tickets cost $22.
