 I was supposed to be helping down Playgoers of Lethbridge’s set for their production of Boeing, Boeing, which ended, Feb. 13, so I only Fun with the CKXU Loves You piniata. Photo by Richard Amerycaught a couple of  the gigs happening on Saturday night.

 CKXU was on CKXU time for their annual Valentine’s Day extravaganza at the Slice, Feb. 13.

That meant only one band had played by the time I got there around 10:30 as the Mormon Girls were setting up in between draws, door prizes and even a Valentines Day pinata. So I ended up missing them.

The theme of the light was the ’50s, so a variety of bands were performing, including the Mormon Girls and Shaela Miller (who was playing ’50s country, though I unfortunately missed her) and a new Jackson Tiefenbach band who were playing straight ahead ’50s rock and roll, rockabilly, some surf music and some Link Wray.Beejal Parekh and Elexandra Greaves enjoying CKXU Loves You.

 After that Sean Warkentin and Lauren Crazy Bull set up a variety of computers and effects units for a set of electronic music based on ’50s pop music programmed into Warkentin’s laptop.
