In Winnipeg Music News...Hot Panda @ Lo Pub; Kim Churchill @ Pyramid; PoS Advances to Round 2!

Firstly, Edmonton’s finest indie-pop-rockers Hot Panda are keeping up their relentless touring schedule in support of their sophomore offering, How Come I’m Dead. Their current trek includes a stop at the Lo Pub on March 6th.

Twenty year-old Australian singer-songwriter Kim Churchill drops by the Pyramid on March 4th; he’s also playing an in-store set at the Folk Festival store earlier in the day, at 2:30.

March 22nd at the Park Theatre features a live performance by Juno-nominated jazz vocalist Emilie-Claire Barlow.

Upstart local songstress Emma Cloney is dropping her debut LP, Something to Say, on March 8th.

Pretty sure I mentioned this, but it’s not on the right, so perhaps it’s an unforgiveable oversight: Winnipeg soul/rock duo Imaginary Cities – who blew this blogger away when I saw them open for the RAA last year – are releasing their debut, Temporary Resident, tomorrow at the Lo Pub. The album officially hits store on February 22nd.
