Allow me this moment for a PSA:  This Saturday, be sure to get out and stay out late because by the time you get home (around 2 am), it'll be time to set your clocks back one hour.... back to 1 am.  Just what we ordered for a fun-filled Halloween night!

I'd like to THANK everyone who donated during CHUO's funding drive campaign!  If you missed it, there is still time to give generously and pick up some cool merch on-line at CHUO.fm.  Hugs to you for contributing!

On the air this week:
The Peptides!  This multi-talented showcase of a band will be busy in Ottawa this weekend.  Catch them Friday night at the Museum of Nature's Nocturne Nights and then at St-Alban's Church on Saturday for a wild Disco Apocalypse Halloween bash.  (Hmmm there's irony in there somewhere, Halloween at Church?)

Skye Wallace:  From Canada's West Coast via Toronto, Skye Wallace has just released her third full-length studio album, Living Parts, best described as dark, folk rock. Catch Skye live at The Blacksheep Inn on Friday.  It is sure to be a memorable show.

Tune in! Find us at 89.1 FM in Ottawa or online at CHUO.fm. You can also find us on iTunes radio under College stations and on #943 on Rogers HD.

We've got two great Canadian indie acts joining us on the air this week.  The talent brewing in this country never ceases to amaze me!!

Chic Gamine:  After a five-year gap since their last album, the Montreal and Winnipeg-based band will be releasing their third full length album, Light A Match, on October 23rd.  We are stoked that Chic Gamine are joining us for a chat ahead of their Ottawa gig planned at Zaphod's on October 17.

Zachary Lucky:  If you like classic country music, Zachary's hauntingly sincere songs are sure to touch your heartbroken soul.  He will be in Wakefield, this Friday at The Blacksheep Inn on tour in support of his new 7", Zachary Lucky Sings Copper Kettle & Dublin Blues,

Tune in! Find us at 89.1 FM in Ottawa or online at CHUO.fm. You can also find us on iTunes radio under College stations and on #943 on Rogers HD.

Imagine the coincidence! MonkeyJunk released their brand new album, Moon Turn Red, last week right when the night skies were showcasing a Blood Moon (and a lunar eclipse and a hunter's moon).  This has got to bode well for the much-loved Ottawa funksters.  They are either about to experience a lot of great luck or they have a very good psychic on payroll.  Either way, the new album is rocking and uplifting. It will have pretty much everyone forgetting their blues and up and dancing in no time.

I am stoked to be hosting the band live in studio this week!  This should be a blast.  Then, they'll be all yours for the rest of the weekend as they are holding two shows at the Rainbow Bistro - Friday and Saturday night.

Don't miss the all the fun!   Tune in from home, office, car or earbuds at 5 pm this Friday. Find us at 89.1 FM in Ottawa or online at CHUO.fm. You can also find us on iTunes radio under College stations and on #943 on Rogers HD.
