Our Bro Lukas Davidson and his family hosted the 14th anual Kayak Rodeo
in Mabel Lake. Here he is flipping off of a 20ft. jump into rapids!?!
DIG$ & Vs. of Cyphanex played along with Kato and local support. Great party,
crowd had tons of energy & the party raged on till the wee hours on an incredible
river-side, outdoor home. DIG$ played an energy-filled,
diverse set accompanied by freestyles & original tracks by Vs.
Thanks to Luke, Kaylie, Dylan, Shayna & Kato. Thanks
to all the beasts that punch-danced their faces off.

I beleive it is dyed with natural indigo.
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.

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.
This weekend has brought many things in lue of musical entertainment. A nice treat for nelsonites and music lovers alike was the blending of local electro-fusion, robo-rock dude grouping, Digitalis, with local intelligent tongued Cyphanex this past friday night at the Royal.
