Over the past few days we’ve had many Canadian artists playing on the big stage in Whistler Village, and like the past few days I was able to enjoy some more free music here in Whistler.
Today I was able to enjoy my friends Animal Nation playing on the big stage in the Village square. They where doing an excellent job getting the crowd pumped up to see Grand Analog who they also opened for the previous night in Vancouver. Animal Nation played a few songs from their new album which is coming out soon and the crowd was loving it.
After Animal Nation played their set, everyone watched Mike Armadilo Slim throw a bokay of flowers to his girl in the crowd because it was valentine day and all. I was then able to enjoy Grand Analog for the first time. Grand Analog was a great show to watch while they played a very fun – full band jazzy hip hop show. I would totally recommend you check out their music and help support another up and coming Canadian music group.
It was unfortunate that I wasn’t able to get up close and enjoy the whole Grand Analog show because I was still working my shift when they came on, although I was able to sneak out of work for a little bit to snap a few photos of them on stage. When Grand Analog finished up their was a little bit of a gap between shows. This gave me just enough time to finish up my shift at work so I could get out and enjoy the Buck 65 show.
Now I have to say I’ve always been a big fan of Buck65, not only because he’s from my home town, Nova Scotia, but because he makes music that’s always different than everyone else. I don’t know how to explain it, so just listen to it. When Buck65 went on stage the crowd was huge and you could tell everyone was enjoying the show. Now Buck65 is a solo artist, who sings, Dj’s the turn tables and put’s on an excellent show that suits every age group. It was a total pleasure to watch his live show, especially when he make small jokes about today’s society and how no one slow dances anymore you cause it was valentines day.
Today was a full day of music and just a beautiful day for Whistler to be celebrating Love and the count down to the 2010 Winter Olympic Games.
