Sled Island back for third year!

With a continuous stream of exciting musicians and artists arriving to town each hour, Sled Island is officially underway in the city of Calgary. Book off the next four days from work, friends, because this is going to be an outrageously action-packed 96-hour party starring the likes of The Breeders, Obits, The Bronx, HEALTH, Liars, Anvil, Holy F*ck, Mount Eerie, Knots, Andrew WK, Monotonix, Michael Rault, BRAIDS, The Pack AD, Biz Markie, Whitey Houston, Factory Party #6, the blazing return of Tricky Woo and many, many more. This year, the music and arts festival is being curated by the talented Colin Newman (see image below), who will debut brand new material alongside his lovely wife, Malka Spigel, in Githead. They're amazing! Grab a festival guide, buy a wristband, discover a slew of new favourite bands and make sure you meet some new best friends. Remember your nightly rejuvenating shots of espresso and see you at the latenight Legion afterparties!
