Artist Profile-Lady V

“Through the combination of traditional painting, contemporary print and image transfer technique with textiles, such as lace and kimono silk on wood and canvas, I create decadent pieces that represent the simplicity and beauty of the female form. By exploring concepts of divinity and the sanctity of moments I create emotive snapshots where the viewer [...]

Spiritbar- 2yrs. and runnin’

Spiritbar recently celebrated their two year anniversary. Since they opened, Spirit has
been the spot for live music of varied genres in Nelson, improved their sound system immensely 
and hosted amazing live performances from such acts as:
Questlove, Linton Kwesi Johnson, Z-Trip (on Canada Day!), Sub Swara, Ali Shaheed Mouhamed
& Mad Professor to name a few. We sometimes take for granted the calibre of artists that come through
Nelson and the people and places that make our scene possible in such a small town.
So…Happy b-day Spiritbar.

Deeps, Glitchy & Scratchy & I.G.U. Mixes

 
Deeps,. Glitchy & Scratchy & the Intergrated Grime Unit have been killing a bunch of parties in the Koots lately.
Their brand of Dub-Step/Glitch-Hop etc.. seems to be in-tune with the current movement of music in the
local scene, especially the all-ages crowd.
So we saw it only fitting to include their latest submissions here on ohshitword. 
Enjoy.

21 BUMPSTREET (free album download)link fixed

What/where is 21BUMPSTREET? It is a place where psychedelic confusion narrowly pulls you from the clutches of the many flesh-hungry zombies that roam this dance floor. It is a mechanized mash of robo-smut for the short-attention-spanned music connaisseur who needs to get down. It is a place where nightmares go to get movie deals.
For the [...]

Richie Mcbeath-More Hand-blown glass

Dub-Step Anyone!?!

This past weekend was a prime example of Dub-Steps takeover of Kootenay culture.
Sat. night LIGHTA! Soundcrew put on an impressive display of hard-hitting, current beats 
@ Spiritbar. They then continued their audio-tirade @ the new after-hours club:

Then on Sunday, BASSFEST in Kaslo BC brought the younger emerging Dub-Step fans out in droves.
Jay  Wikid, Deeps and The Mongoose (of Glitchy & Scratchy) head-lined 
the party, with great local support. The forest setting was 
the perfect way to kick-off the outdoor party season.

Digitalis and Cyphanex rock the royal with a fresh feel

With a re-tooled sound minus their former female singer they were entertaining and [...]

Artist Profile-Richie Mcbeath

Talk to Richie for 5 minutes and the passion for his craft will become clearly evident.
He exudes enthusiasm and a genuine desire to progress as an artist.
Richie’s invaluable contribution to the Nelson community has been obvious through his locally owned studio & gallery. Ourglass ,where he creates and displays his incredible peices, has been holding well-attended art openings and showcasing different artists monthly. Richie does things with glass that conventional minds couldn’t even imagine.
