2015...What A Year!

Here at CFUR, we have emerged from the sugar-crash coma of the holidays, and are now reflecting on a great year gone by! 2015 saw CFUR tackle a bunch of really cool projects and events, and the local music that came through our airwaves was stellar! Here are some local artists that released albums in 2015: Black Spruce Bog  Confluence (Prince George)

Brad Strang  Brad Strang (Quesnel)

Britt AM  Songs From the Spider Den, Volume One (Prince George) 

Crones  Air Chud (Prince George)

Dead Body Juice  Fresh Squeezed! (Forest Grove)

Drum & Bell Tower  Out Of the Time (Williams Lake)

Kill Matilda  Songs Of Survival (Vancouver)

Pharis and Jason Romero  A Wanderer I'll Stay (Horsefly)

Phos  Matriarch (Prince George)

Power Duo  Power Duo (Prince George)

Shadows Cast  Life Or Something Like It (Haida Gwaii) 

Winona Wilde  You Lose Some, You Lose Some (Vancouver)

One of the highlights of our year was the star-studded First Waltz, a CFUR fundraiser at The Playhouse which featured some of Prince George's most well known and loved musicians. It was an evening to remember, and the community support for our growing radio station was humbling and inspiring! We were also able to launch a series of live performances and features here in the CFUR studio, of which we were able to record over fifty during 2015! Check out those videos on our Youtube channel!

We worked hard to curate and provide a great selection of tasty music for our listeners during 2015, and some of the most played new releases of this year were:

Power Duo  Power Duo 

Drum & Bell Tower  Out Of the Time 

Pharis and Jason Romero  A Wanderer I'll Stay 

Kurt Vile  B'lieve I'm Goin' Down 

Peaches  Rub

B.A. Johnston  Sh*t Sucks

Dilly Dally  Sore

Tame Impala  Currents

Sleater Kinney  No Cities To Love

Many, many thanks go out to our listeners and supporters, we look forward to another year of featuring great local and independent music and programming here at CFUR Radio, 88.7 FM!

The Rat Queen-- Hellish Garbage Trash

20151216_165810.jpg

Hey CFURs!In this show I play Reggae, indie rock, mess up doing a live recording, and go to the bathroom halfway between a song because apparently eating nothing but cheese potatoes and chocolate all day isn't good for your digestive system, go figure. Also... I didn't get a chance to play it, but you should check out the new(ish) Joanna Newsom album. It's incredible. I'll review it, but until then, here's a link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=48xlgXqQKLA&index=3&list=RDkeke7BGzJPI

And here's my lousy show, presented by my lousy heart.
