Artist Spotlight - ORRA

Are you ready to be introduced to some of the amazing local talent we have here? We have such an incredible music scene here in the GVA, and there are so many amazing artists just waiting for you to check them out.

The first peaks of spring are starting to show, from grass turning greener, to flowers blooming, to spiders spinning webs in the open again. The cold of winter has broken way to the warmth and sunshine (and probably a lot of rain too) of spring. Event season is starting, bands are ramping up their tours, and more is happening every weekend! 

Kick back, open your music app of choice, and check out today's spotlighted artist:

Here's what they had to say... 

♪ ♫ ♪

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

Hi! We are ORRA, a Vancouver-based indie-pop band consisting of Sarah Orr (vocals/keys), Cameron McGregor (drums), Jacqui Munro (guitar/vocals), and Alan Kane (bass). Our sound blends the danceable grooves of ABBA and Fleetwood Mac with the edge of modern alt-pop artists like Lorde. We create music that explores the chaos and turmoil of early adulthood, from navigating life-defining decisions to facing the highs and lows of relationships.

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

We're still pretty new as a band, but hearing our single "I Knew" being played on radio stations was really special to us! Seeing the song be played as far as Montreal really made all the hard work of promotion worth it!

        Q: What’s your favourite venue to play?

We’ve had an amazing time playing at Green Auto and RedGate! Both venues have fantastic sound and incredible staff who really care about delivering the best experience for both the artists and the audience.

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

Hard to answer, having a physical copy is so lovely but digital is a great way to make music more accessible. It might be a little bit cliche, but the sound of vinyl really does have a magical feel to it, as if the band was in the room with you.

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

We're looking forward to seeing DACEY at RedGate soon!  We were fans before discovering they lived in Vancouver which was the perfect cherry on top of an already amazing artist.

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



We have an upcoming single release on March 8th called "FLASHBACKS" and are going to play a single release show the same date at Take ur time back. Keep your eye out for it!

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 ...
