Here's what he had to say... 

♪ ♫ ♪

        Q: For those who don’t know you, can you please introduce yourself and describe your sound?

I'm Erik Severinson - I'm a rock singer/songwriter; along the lines of Hozier, Jeff Buckley, Madison Cunningham.

        Q: What’s one of the biggest successes you’ve had as a musician?

I sang at Carnegie Hall. I wrote choral arrangements for a JUNO-winning metal album. I sang an hour long show of King Crimson tunes with a Vancouver jazz big band!

        Q: What’s your favourite venue to play?

In Vancouver I love the Fox Cabaret. One day I'd love to play at the Commodore.

        Q: What do you think was the best Medium for music to be on? (Vinyl, Tape, CD, Digital)?

I love vinyl; call me a hipster. I love when music is in the foreground, not the background. The ritual of choosing a record, loading it up, and having to flip it halfway kind of focuses your attention in a cool way.

        Q: Who is your favourite local band to see perform around town?

Gentle Party!

        Q: What’s coming up next for your music?



Dec 18 at Roxy w/ In the Dark Park.

Show Review - Put THAT In The Bible!

Support the Scene had the opportunity to send one of our incredibly talented photographers to see Bible Girl, Doom Loops, and Kites on Mars on November 8th, at Lana Lou's. Here's what Jade Weekes had to say about the incredible performance that these bands put on.  ♪ ♫ ♪ Bible Girl had their first show at Lana Lou's last night. Their sound was a great mix of indie rock with a touch of shoegaze. Since it was their first show, it was expected to have a couple of flubs but they carried on like the seasoned musicians they are. Many dynamic changes made their set full of unexpected energy bursts, amidst their more low-key overall sound. Keep an eye out for their upcoming single!  ♪ ♫ ♪   Doom Loops brought some tasty piano licks, soaring synths, and catchy vocals; and that was only from ONE of their members! The whole band really had tunes that were full of quirky lyrics and bass lines that made your feet just move on their own. They had great harmonies and really used ...
