Prairie Pop Tarts

It’s always heartening to finally see long-deserving folks get their dues in the mainstream media. Local record label “endearing(endearing’s Web site)”:http://www.endearing.com/ gets the Globe and Mail treatment in “this full page article(Standing Behind the Little Guy)”:http://www.globeandmail.com/servlet/ArticleNews/TPStory/LAC/20030226/RVENDE//?query=endearing. It’s about time. Speaking of good local tunes, bands signed to endearing that are worth checking out include “Projektor(Darren!)”:http://www.projektormusic.com/ (heavy, brooding rock music with a melodic soul), “Novillero(Dave!)”:http://www.endearing.com/artists/novillero/novillero.html (pastoral, brit-pop goodliness), and “The Waking Eyes(Fellas)”:http://www.endearing.com/artists/wakingeyes/wakingeyes.html (AM radio re-interpreted by XTC). Winnipeg is a fertile ground for some damn fine music, and I’m not just saying that as a hometown boy. Go and discover.
