June actually begins with an uncommonly slow week for Lethbridge.
But there are a couple good events happening.
Tonight, Rancho Delux
e, a new band including George Arsene, hosts the open mic at the Slice.

Sarah Troy will be playing at the Mocha Cabana from approximately 6:30 p.m. until 9 p.m., Friday, June 3.

The other big party this week is local alt country group Treeline who will be releasing their latest CD with Sean Brewer, Saturday, June 4. Cowpuncher is also on the bill.
Average Joes begins a June full of finals for their Open for the Bands contest, this Thursday. Once again nobody showed up this past Thursday for a chance to open for British glam rock pioneers Sweet who are best known for hits like “Ballroom Blitz” and “Fox On the Run,” as well as minor hits like “Little Willy” and “ Love is Like Oxygen.”
They have a wild card play down this Thursday, where the winners get chance to either open for Sweet or Nazareth. So show up. It is a great chance to get your music heard by a brand new audience.
There is also another big hip hop show this week with D12’s Swifty, Bizarre, Kuniva, Kon Artis, maestro with spceical guests WC, EPDM and Trick Trick. Tickets are $25 in advance.
Esper Records is hitting the road this month as well. Jesse and the Dandelions, The New Weather Machine and Church kick off a month long tour of Alberta and B.C. in Lethbridge at the Slice, June 1.
