Music Notes
The Hot Club of San Francisco / Sat, Dec 17 (7:30 pm)
Even though it's been unseasonably warm lately, you'd hesitate to call it hot—which is why it'll be perfect when the Hot Club of San Francisco lives up to its name. Playing gypsy jazz versions of holiday songs, the Hot Club of San Francisco twists the holidays into something smoky and sensual. (The Arden, $45)
Hip Hop for Hunger / Thu, Dec 15 (9 pm)
For nearly a decade, Edmonton's hip-hop community has been devoting its efforts toward Hip Hop for Hunger and, having raised over 7000 pounds of food for the Edmonton Food Bank in the past nine years, the goal is to raise 1500 this year alone. Featuring mainstays Politic Live, the clever rhyming of Mikey Maybe and an appearance by former host Kreesha Turner, Hip Hop for Hunger should be an excellent time—the only bummer here is that, with so much wealth in this province, an event like Hip Hop for Hunger continues to be necessary. (Brixx)
Occupy Yuletide / Fri, Dec 16 (7 pm)
Though evicted from their camp in November, the Occupy movement still has much work to do, but first—a party! Featuring Tom Roschkov, Scott Cook, the Raging Grannies and more, Occupy Yuletide picks up where Occupy Edmonton left off, and adds booze. (The Artery, by donation)
EYE on Music Showcase / Thu, Dec 22 (7 pm)
Commited to the furthering of music careers for young and emerging musicians, EYE on Music is holding its latest showcase next week—or this week, depending when you're reading this. It could even be last week if this paper's been hanging around at your place for awhile. What I'm getting at is that a showcase featuring a whole slew of commited musicians aged 5 – 20 will be tearing up the stage. (Blue Chair Café, $5)
A Lightly Classical Christmas / Wed, Dec 21 (7:30 pm) & Thu, Dec 22 (8 pm)
For many, heading to the Winspear for some Christmas cheer is a yearly tradition. So if that's something you're into and you haven't been yet—what are you waiting for? In fact, these two concerts are your last chance before Christmas. You gotta get down here before you ruin Christmas again! (Winspear Centre)
LMFAO / Wed, Dec 21 (6 pm)
If you're sexy and you know it, get on down to LMFAO's show here in town. (Rexall Place, $35 – $45)
The Chicken Snails / Sun, Dec 18 (8 pm)
It's the 10-year reunion of Edmonton's hopped-up-punk-bluegrass band the Chicken Snails and they'd like to celebrate it with you. (The Artery)
