Mr. Mike Kenney!

Mike is the bass player in the Chariots of Eggs, the keyboard player in the Bughouse 5, one of the dueling guitars in The Modelos, and the organist for the Vancouver Canucks!

There’s a nice feature on Mr. Kenney at the Canucks website. Maybe Mike will bring the Stanley Cup to Modelo Mondays – next one is June 20th at The Railway Club. Last month’s Bob Dylan Birthday Party, hosted by The Modelos, was amazing – killer sets from Modelos, Dave Newberry, Debra Jean and Terminal Station.

Before we get too hopped up on the events ahead – thought it WISE to be grateful for the Year of the Tiger and its’ grand adventures. 2010 was a busy year at Northern Electric.

The Pointed Sticks returned to Japan! Two night stand in Tokyo and this sold-out show in Osaka, the last night of the tour.

The Strange Magic stormed the UK! The band played the world famous Cavern Club in Liverpool as well as the beautiful Chapel in London, seen below. They toured with legendary folk-psychedelic band Spirogyra.

Lily Fawn popped Montreal! The Lullaby Band played shows with The Swans one night and Fred Penner the next! A hit with both crowds.

Plus, we launched 4 CD’s – celebrating with a series of shows at East Vancouver’s WISE Hall – Spoon River‘s “Kingdom of The Burned” in February, David P. Smith‘s “Mantennae” on April Fools Day and David Newberry‘s “When We Learn The Things We Need To Learn” in June.
