Daega SoundYan Zombie{vurb} contributor

Greetings music freaks, Shambhala enthusiasts and

people who are neither of those but have found themselves read-ing this column.

This month's Yan Zombie Presents is a collaboration with my good friend B-Ron and AreaOne Events. Tonight we're excited to welcome personal fa-vourites and Living Room stage alumni Daega Sound from the Lighta! Crew in Vancouver.

Daega Sound have their own unique take on creating dubstep and dance music. Driven by their lifelong love of music, they are steadily laying a founda-tion of releases and performances gain-ing national and international acclaim in the ever-evolving bass music scene.

Their sound is polished and sophis-ticated, with a dubbed out quality and heavy emphasis on sub bass. Intricate syncopated drum rhythms laced with unforgettable melodies sit on top of layers of ethereal soundscapes, cre-

ating an unmistakable atmosphere. Their high energy sets have a distinct techno quality meshed with a “classic” dubstep sound, ranging from banging drum machine driven rhythms to mas-sive halftime hitters to rich evocative and soulful tunes.

Being brothers and somehow seeming to know what each other are thinking, they each man a deck and relentlessly bang out the tunes in long curving mixes or crazy stop cuts, drawing from over a decade of djing techno and DnB.

They were nice enough to endure my interrogation for your enjoyment:

Yan Zombie: What can you tell me about your process while writing tracks? What sparks a song idea?

Daega Sound: It totally ranges de-pending on mood and timing but some thing are always fundamental. Getting in the zone, dimming the lights, make sure you're supplied with hot drinks and free of distractions. Always be ready, — if and when an idea turns up — ready to record. Many things may spark a song, sometimes it comes to you when you're walking through the woods, our on the

water, in the city, reading a book, other times it can come from experimenting with some new technique, or simply a good feeling rhythmn.

YZ: What's your favourite piece of gear? DS: Access Virus C.

YZ: Where's the dodgiest place you've ever stayed on tour?

DS: Sleepling on the tube into Lon-don after � ying in from Montreal. Also in the hotel above the Jungle Room...and there was two benches at a bus stop in there too.

YZ: What can we expect from upcoming Daega Sound releases?

DS: More LP's in the fall, a few more digital singles/EP's under way, our � rst full length and some top secret stuff!

Tickets are only $10 at the door come early to catch myself and B-ron. Respect!

Yan Zombie Presents:

Legendary Canadian Blues-man Big Dave McLean has spent his career touring the countless small towns that dot the prai-ries — but this Saturday you can catch him in our neck of the woods.

The Winnipeg native is a mas-terful guitarist and top notch harpist, with a raw and gravelly voice that bespeaks a life lived to the fullest.

McLean’s heart beats to the ghosts of the delta greats — especially the incomparable

Muddy Waters, who he toured with over two decades ago. Just how important the Mojo Man was to the development of Big Dave can be gleaned in an 11-minute tribute aptly titled Muddy Waters for President.

Big Dave McLean will be in Slocan City on May 18 playing a free show at the Slocan city Trading Company between 2 and 5 p.m., before heading over to the Silvery Slocan Legion for a show starting at 7 p.m. Tickets to the evening event are $15.

Big Dave McLean

Folk singer Cam Penner recently escaped the city to live in the Kootenays with his sweetheart and new daughter. It's here that he recorded his � fth full-length album, To Build A Fire.

With verses still to be written and arrangements still unknown, he placed one mic in the room and got to work. Over eight days, ukuleles, guitars, banjos were strummed. Voices strained and bent.

Now he's on tour to promote the new album, with public house concert booked at The Special (810 Silica Street) on May 22. Doors open at 7:30 p.m.

Year after year Starbelly Jam Mu-sic Festival has been committed to bringing the best of local, national and international music to Crawford Bay — and this year is no different.

From the unique folk-style of Kimya Dawson, whose music appeared on the acclaimed Juno soundtrack to the inspiring sounds of Sierra Leone’s Refugee All Stars, to Australian urban roots band Blue King Brown, Starbelly is bringing the music of the world to

the Kootenays from July 19 to 21.With the full festival line-up an-

nounced earlier this month organizers are anticipating another great event.

“It’s always an exciting time when people see the line-up and share with us who they’re looking for-

ward to seeing,” said artistic director Lea Belcourt. “I really think the line-ups get better every year.”

Tickets can be purchased online at starbellyjam.org/tickets2013.

Nelson’s street festival pops up on Baker Street three times over the course of the summer. Several blocks are shut down to make room for about 100 vendors, with everything from clothing to � ne art and food to face painting.

Two stages bookend the market area with live music going into the evening and plenty of room to dance or take in the show. Local dance troupes

and competitive skippers can also be seen on the MarketFest stage.

A tenth of the population of Nel-son will � ood into the street for

these free monthly mar-kets. It’s an especially popular place for fami-lies when the weather co-operates. It’s a great place to bump into old

friends and take in a warm sum-mer evening, while doing a bit of shopping.

Tiny LightsYmir’s Tiny Lights Festival is two days of music,

theatre, workshops, and much more, modelled after the Artswells festival in Northern BC.

Organizers Carla and Shawn Stephenson ran a stage at Artswells for eight years before creating the local spinoff last year. They saw the simi-larities between Ymir and Wells — both be-ing old mining towns with a population of around 300.

With � ve stages in the historic buildings of Ymir, part of the appeal is enjoying the action in small, intimate venues.

Some highlights from this year’s lineup include music by Jaron Freeman Fox, Miami Device, and Morelove; and theatre by Lucas Myers, and Mind of a Snail Puppet Company. There will be spoken work, dance and art demos, as well as workshops, historical reenactments — and so much more.

For many local music lovers the sum-mer festival season can’t come soon enough, which is why making the trip down to The Gorge Amphi-theatre for Sasquatch has be-come an annual tradition for a lot of Kootenay folk.

A � ve hour drive south from here, the festival venue is one of the most scenic you’ll � nd any-where in North America, and the desert

climate means you can bust out your tank tops early.

More than 125 bands will play on � ve stages over the course of the long-weekend. The lineup is comprised of mostly indie rock bands with some rock, hip hop and EDM thrown in for good measure. Some of

this year’s headliners include: Mumford & Sons, The Postal Service, Vampire

Weekend, The Lumineers, Macklemore & Ryan Lewis, The xx and Sigur Rós. Ca-nadians on the bill include Elliot Brood, Grimes, Japandroids, Shad, and Suuns.

Now in its 12th year, Sasquatch has gained such popularity that its 25,000 four-day passes sold out in less than an hour. So if you managed to get your hands on one, consider yourself lucky: Next weekend you’ll be packing your bags and hitting the road.

Top Five Beers for May LongThe old May long weekend

is a funny beast. We all know that weather can range from snow storms to bomber summer heat. We’ve all woken up in a tent to less than ideal camping situations (go into your own memory tickle trunk now and insert funny story). So when we talk about what beers to take with us, it can vary like the weather.

We went around the brewery this week and asked, “what are your top � ve May long weekend beers and why?”

Our Brewmaster initially joked “Bud, Bud Light, Bud Light Lime…. And Michelob. That’s � ve right?”

The lists are not in any particular order, though you can quite rightly assume the NBC product is at the top of all of them.

Mike Kelly – BrewmasterWhen we asked Mike about his

beers, he made comment about wanting a refreshing summer drink-ing beer, but keep in mind it can get cool at night.

HoegaardenNBC - Harvest Moon Organic Hemp AlePhillips – Ginger BeerNBC – Full Nelson Organic Imperial IPANBC – Tall Tale Organic Wheat Ale

You may be asking yourself why you haven’t heard of or tasted this new NBC Tall Tale Wheat Ale. Well, that’s because it hasn’t been released yet — it’s only on tap at Mike’s house. So if you know Mike, I recommend you stop by, say hi, and bring a jug with you to � ll. Mike loves to share!

Tessa G – Assistant BrewerTessa has a scheme in mind when

she picks at least one of her beers, “You have to plan for those friends who like to ‘share’ your beer.” Tessa takes along what she calls a “de� ec-tion” beer that she knows her friends will take � rst but that she only sort of enjoys. The beer in this case is Phillips Blue Buck or a Pabst Blue Ribbon. That will take care of hipsters too cool to actually have their own money who may even pull that cardinal May long sin of the late-night cooler rummage. New rule on the beer stealing front: when you get caught, we dump the

ice water down your pants and send you on your way branded a beer thief for all to see. As the shame shrinks in (yes, I meant to say shrink) you may learn from this error in your ways. Be thankful you still have both hands!

NBC – Full Nelson Organic Imperial IPASierra Nevada – TorpedoPhilips - Blue Buck NBC – Harvest Moon Organic Hemp AleTree – Cutthroat Pale Ale

Clair Hately – Cellar personCriteria for the beers that Clair

would take with her May long, “Nice, crisp, good for getting silly beers”.

Whistler – Grapefruit AleFernie – Big Caboose Red AleNBC - Full Nelson Organic Imperial IPABig Rock – TraditionalNBC – Wild Honey Organic Ale

Chad Hansen – Director of Propaganda

Chad has to be very careful about the alcohol content when it comes to the time of day when he’s having a beers: “Get me into the 8.2 per cent

Full Nelson at 2 p.m. and I’m napping before anyone’s even thought about chopping wood for the � re.” Let’s be honest, one of the great things about long weekends is the ability to guilt free enjoy an afternoon beverage — some will even push that rule to en-compass breakfast.

NBC – Full Nelson Organic Imperial IPAUnibroue - La Fin Du MondeNBC – Harvest Moon Organic Hemp AleCentral City – Red Racer IPANBC – After Dark Organic Brown Ale

When you’re pulling out of town grab a bunch of your favourite beers, not just a � at of the cheapest. We spend thousands on RV’s, canoes, ATV’s, kayaks, mountain bikes etc. Then we’ll grab a � at of whatever is on sale to save � ve bucks. Have you ever noticed there’s a direct corre-lation between cheaper drinks and hangovers. Just sayin’, life’s too short to drink cheap beer!
