@JasontheScott Thanks for the support @JasontheScott!

Our #FeatureVideo today is for "Matador" by Canadian artist @bourquelaurent. A song about love, in all it's exciting, tumultuous, tempting and unpredictable tendencies - much like a Matador. Check out the beautiful music video on the blog: thevioletwave.com/feature-video-… #indiemusicblog

What do you do when your friend wants a louder set for a gig in a yurt? You do what today's featured artist @maunomusicband did and pick up a drummer and a guitarist - and we're glad they did. Check out "Really Really" our #FeatureVideo today on the blog. thevioletwave.com/feature-video-…

@TonyWallace416 Agreed! I used to work there as an usher. Can't wait until it opens again.

@TheVioletWave So many great places but have to go with Massey Hall. Great acoustics, great location with a huge dollop of history. Really looking forward to the renovation/restoration.

Hey Violet Wave followers, what’s your favourite venue in your city? Music, theatre, gallery - any kind. Compiling a list and curious to know. Would be great to know why too!

Our #FeatureVideo today is from another Berlin transplant, Highest Sea. "Im On The Moon" is a little dark, dreamy, mystical and melancholy. For fans of Beach House and minor chords. Check it out here: ow.ly/ZEsm50ubmFp #indiemusicblog #dreampop @SNOWHITEMUSIC #havenEP
