University of Lethbridge based community radio station CKXU celebrated 10 years on the air by hosting a huge, free party for students in the University of Lethbridge Zoo, Feb. 28.
There was free food and lots live music including Doug Hoyer, Transit, MaseOne, Night Committee and Jesse and the Dandelions.
While I could only stay for Jesse and the Dandelions, I was excited to see their new line up which featured Doug Hoyer adding extra guitar and keyboards.
They nailed the Jesse and the Dandelions’ setlist, featuring upbeat, immediately appealing, chirpy indie rock sung by frontman Jesse Northey/
As always they were reminiscent of indie band like Said the Whale. Doug Hoyer jumped on the drum riser and jumped back to his microphone and added keyboard, while Northey stood at his microphone singing the melodies while his band filled in the extra space.
