The Guest List

Interviews with Emi Jeen, Bearings and Guest Room Status

Don't forget that CKCU-FM is still trying to raise enough money through our annual public funding drive to keep the station on the air for another year. We are far from our goal of $190,000 and every donation helps us along the way and we can send you a tax receipt for any donations over $20. Just click on the Donate Now buttons on every page on our website and follow the instructions to either donate using your Interac or credit cards through the Canada Helps portal, or complete the forms on our own portal and we will send you a package so you can mail in a cheque. It's all good and thanks to those who have donated so far. And if you like this program, please consider selecting The Guest List when you can pick a show to support. Thanks. We open today's show talking to Emi Jeen about her new e.p. Why So Serious? and her upcoming show on Sunday night (Dec. 4th) at Live on Elgin. Emi tells us what inspired the song One Million Perfume and how she wanted to create a dark, epic song with Wolves. https://www.emijeen.com/ https://www.liveonelgin.com/collections/shows/products/emi-jeen-kin-crew Next we talk to Ryan Culligan, guitarist with local pop-punk outfit Bearings. Ryan talks about the group's latest single, Shaking Your Mind, and fills us in about the group's upcoming big gig at the Bronson Centre on Saturday night (Dec. 3rd.) Ryan tells us how excited the group is to take it to the next level playing the Bronson Centre and how they've lined up a stellar cast of groups to perform as part of this Holiday Banger. https://www.ticketweb.ca/event/bearings-holiday-banger-bronson-centre-theatre-tickets/12527935?pl=spectrasonic https://bearingsband.bandcamp.com/ Ottawa's Guest Room Status is also playing at the Holiday Banger. We talk to Wolly, the bassist with the group about how 2022 treated the band and how they released two new singles this year with hopes to release more music in 2023. https://guestroomstatus.bandcamp.com/ Finally we play some music from Pantayo and Laylit - artists participating in the 2022 Winter edition of Pique, next Saturday, December 10th. This is an amazing and adventurous artistic undertaking, when for one day and night the Arts Court is taken over by music, dance, performing arts, panels, visual arts as presented by local production group Debaser. Don't miss it... it's a blast. We hope to have more coverage of Pique on the show next week.
