Hello all.

Here is my first music related post. Prepare yourself... 

So next week begins my adventure out into the music scene here in Vancouver! It's going to be a full jam-packed weekend. Not only is Olio Festival taking place but Broken Social Scene and James Blake are also playing. Unfortunately Bon Iver is playing the same night as James Blake, which was tough to pick between the two but so far I am happy with my decision. For Olio Fest I'm most excited to see Besnard Lakes which includes my best friends aunt and uncle as bandmates, their melodic harmonies and intense riffs and bass-lines all come together in such a beautifully cohesive nature which often leaves me feeling like I'm floating on a cloud. Braids is also a band that I'm looking forward to seeing at Olio. Even though I've seen them multiple times their flawless looping and enticing vocals keep me hooked; the louder the better. Broken Social Scene is going to be such a treat, third time's a charm! The past two times that I've seen them I've never been disappointed, I even had the opportunity to go for a bike ride with them one evening in Kelowna, they're all such inspirations to myself. James Blake will be great as well, I'm sure. But really, I'm just overly excited for Broken Social Scene most of all.
