Check out @VanceJoy performing “Fire and the Flood” LIVE at CFOX’s Ugly Grey Box Studio

Vance Joy live at CFOX

Vance Joy stopped by the radio factory today in front of his second SOLD OUT show at the Orpheum in Vancouver.  He performed his hit “Fire and The Flood” for us.

I also asked him about the stage name, “Vance Joy.” How did that come about? Vance was born James and used to play at a cafe during brunch. He’d perform a collection of covers (like Fuel’s “Shimmer”) and originals. Inspired by a character from the Peter Carey book Bliss, he branded his brunch set Vance Joy and here we are.

I feel like I kept it pretty cool. Too bad I can’t say the same for my colleague Meredith!

Cover Song Freakout! Geoff Lundstrom covering Lorde’s “Royals & Zerbin taking on The National’s “I Need My Girl”

Thursday, Jon Williams and I got spoiled at the Radio Factory.  We had our Zone Band of the Month Geoff Lundstrom in to perform his single “Wash The Dirt Off.”  But then the dude stuck around and recorded a cover of Lorde‘s Much Mega Hit, “Royals.”  His trio consisted of himself with Amy and Chris on keys.  Amy let Jon hold her 1948 Martin D 28 acoustic guitar!

Earlier, we had Victoria’s Zerbin in studio.  The boys dropped a beautiful take on The National‘s  “I Need My Girl.”

Maybe you’ll be able to get behind one of these covers and you’ll share it with your friends.

Go with yourself.

The Morning After Show in on Facebook?  Believe the hype and throw me a “like.”

Well how ignorant of me…. I didn’t post my acoustic songs from the Gaslight Anthem‘s Brian Fallon.  One week ago today, Mr. Fallon stopped by the Zone for a chitchat and live performance.

Gaslight Anthem – “45” (acoustic)

Gaslight Anthem – “Desire” (acoustic)

Very pretty.

I got an email from the distant and savage wilds of Northern Canada… Edmonton.  Brandy Taylor was saying she can’t play Christian Hansen‘s new song “C’mon Arizona” enough on the radio.  Let’s have a listen.

Christian Hansen – “C’mon Arizona”

Brandy says, “Seriously, fave song we’re playing right now. And he says ‘bosom.’  Sooo……”

punchy!

Um what?  Nice.  Coral and I got married on this day in 2009.  Yay us.

On Friday, Victoria singer/songwriter Vince Vaccaro came by my radio show to co-host for the day.

South Hampton, UK rockers Band of Skulls are in Victoria tonight, and they came by the Zone Afternoon Show for a performance.  They give us a couple magical acoustic songs, “Fires” and “Impossible.”
