Hey I know this is very Alberta-centric, but I figured a few folks would be interested in hearing the big news. If you live in Western Canada and can get to Edmonton and Calgary on the weekend of June 1-3rd, I highly recommend doing so!

Now entering its fourth year, this annual festival initially held in the spring in Edmonton, Alberta provides three full days of DIY community, discussion, activities, hangouts, and performances by the finest “DIY”, “hardcore” and “post-hardcore” bands from Western Canada and beyond. There’s simply to much goodness to be contained in a single city, so this year Ghost Throats has expanded to include a Calgary date. Ghost Throats was initially centered on the budding post-hardcore scene in central Alberta but has reached out to include bands coming out from all over including far wrung cities such as Victoria, Toronto, Ottawa, Vancouver & Seattle.

The festival runs for 3 days first weekend in June; June 1 & 2 in Edmonton and June 3rd in Calgary.

I did a double take.

Book of Caverns and Coalspur are two of my favorite bands and I had to leave before Coalspur played last time. Stoked you guys are both playing the day I'll be able to go haha.
