Benefit Event for WAR CHILD - 8 pm Saturday, November 21 at The Avenue Theatre, Edmonton

We here at Radio Enigma are very proud to be an official event support broadcaster to next week's War Child Benefit at The Avenue Theatre here in Edmonton being presented by Sunshine Treeshade social conscious artists group, and besides being for a great cause you can also see some of the best local bands in town, too.

Here's a taste of one of the bands that will be playing (and we'll be playing next week on a special event edition of Indie Nation); Light Travels w/ the anthemetic "Pin Drop":

"Twilight In Wilderness"- Kevin House

Kevin House paints his songs w/ spare, flowing words into impressonistic, melancholy vingettes that are just beautiful:

"Aftermath (Part 1)"- revRecluse

The new one from the Canadian Gothic project. I'm playing a pefrectly beautiful Silvertone guitar I bought at a Value Village (?!) in Saskatoon a couple years ago and until this track, never seemed to get a good tone to it when recording.

You can hear more of the music stuff here

"Wuthering Heights"- Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain

Perfectly sly:

Radio Enigma's Halloween Marathon On The Air

Carnival Of Souls (1962)

In honor of Halloween tomorrow night, here's one of the great existential horror films of all-time (and my favorite), Herk Harvey's "Carnival Of Souls":

"Jimmy Bell's In Town"- 15-60-75 (The Numbers Band)

15-60-75 (The Numbers Band) has been playing in and around my hometown of Cleveland (and Northeast Ohio) for 35 or so years now; when I was growing up and until I left town for good in the early 80's they played at JB's in Kent (home of Kent State University) every Saturday Night. If you were a music fan w/ good taste, going to see The Numbers Band was not only a rite of passage, but a neccesary tradition.

This incredible track is taken from a live album recorded at the Legendary Agora when the band opened up for Bob Marley and The Wailers; never has the Numbers Band's mix of blues, jazz, folk, and rock sounded better than hearing them live.

"Jimmy Bell's In Town" is a blues-based riff (with a tight as a drum rhytmn section) that veers into an extended tension-building almost-jazz jam where gutarist Bob Kidney's brother Jack and Terry Hynde (brother of Chrissy) trade horn and keyboard solos along w/ Bob's Robert Fripp but-with-a-soul guitar solo.

Bob Kidney is one of the 5 best guitar players I've ever seen live:
