Winter into spring into winter again. I've never lost a bet about one-last-snow-storm in April. Someday this insight will make me rich. To help take your mind off the weather, we've got good tunes and compelling conversations queued up for you on today's show.

Lioness: Performing at Cafe Dekcuf on Monday (April 30)
The band's lead singer, Vanessa, also moonlights as the band's costume designer for their live shows and has built the life-size lion head on the cover of their debut album, The Golden Killer. Expect dance, synth, indie rock.

Cousins: Performing at the Mercury Lounge on Wednesday (May 02)
Now we're getting into garage power rock as Cousins drop their new sophomore album, The Palm at the End of the Mind.

As usual, we'll have more spins featuring bands coming through Ottawa this week.  Tune in at 5 pm on 89.1 FM in Ottawa or on-line at www.CHUO.fm
