This is likely the last show for local indie rock/ jazz band the Record Holder before two of the members leave Lethbridge for other opportunities.

We were happy with the name 'Chinook County Events Band' thinking it would draw diverse crowds to the Slice bar and Grill, the club in Lethbridge where we play. But then on the bus I ran into Mary-Anne McTrowe and found out that one of her Ukulele bands already had a very similar name. So we went with Notned's ipod, which is 'denton' backwards, and inspired by the Denton Fredrickson whose playlist contained many of the songs we covered. Soon, however, we had written enough original songs to play full shows of our own work. We then changed our name to 'The Record Holder' which stuck. Now, we have completed out first cd. We are brothers Michael and John Granzow. Two and a half years ago, drummer Sandeep Mishra joined us. Then Nicole Hembroff shortly thereafter joined in with her violin and vocals. We are all graduate students at the University of Lethbridge. Sandeep and John are in Psychology, Michael in Sociology and Nicole in Religious Studies. Our songs are about old photographs, jobs, disappearing acts, heartbreak, the economy, facebook, entropy, marketing, coal, vitamin B deficiency, word play, and indiscretion (in that order on the cd). Thank you for listening.

 
Jesse  and the Dandelions
 
Jesse and the Dandelions have just finished their first full length album and it will be released June 11 . Our songs represent a wide variety of musical styles but one thing that glues the songs together is their strong melodic element and a groove that encourages you to dance.One thing that is important to us is that we like having fun. Our shows are a unique and special experience because we have songs that encourage the audience to get involved. It's for this reason that we've been the opening act for bands such as Ra Ra Riot, Pilot Speed, and Attack in Black. We also play a handful of non-profit/fundraiser shows for LPIRG, Amnesty International and other local charities. Every time we play our song "In Limbo" we have a limbo competition with prizes. With our "Van Song" you can't help but sing along and dance to the group parts. Our other songs sing the truth and will keep you interested even if you aren't into limbo competitions or dancing. We have a blast when we play and the audience shares that experience with us.
