A song a day every day of my 25th year. I try to profile lesser-known and/or Canadian artists. My favourite genre is folk, and I generally go with whatever mood moves me that day. Some posts discuss the history of the artist or song and some are my reflections on the choice.

MASS CHOIR - 90's Inspired
A few months ago, I came across another artist I used to ride the bus with, Matt Skopyk. He's a bit older than me, so I've ALWAYS looked up to him, especially since he was in the artistic programs of high school that I gravitated towards as well. At some point, reverence follows talent more than age; but in high school, it's easier to recognize the latter. Now I recognize the talent, as do members of our current community, Edmonton.
In September, Mass Choir was named SONiC's Band of the Month, which brought the band a bit more face time out there, but they're definitely ready for more. Although not produced in the 90's, their sound is - as Matt explains in the video - reminiscent of those dance mixes we heard in our childhoods, but with a modern beat pounding throughout. You can't here that so much in this live version, but check out their video on vimeo:

Then, if you ARE in Edmonton, and still looking for a great way to spend your Friday night, come on out to Teddy's and here them LIVE:
