Focus on the Local Scene - Bollokscraft Records

We introduce a new feature on Shellac and Vinyl today, focusing on the vibrant local music scene in Kamloops, BC.

Today, I stopped by the first Bollokscraft Bazaar, hosted by the good people at local record label and art collective, Bollokscraft Records.

Bollokscraft is a small label, only about a year old, and is the brainchild of local musician, artist and CFBX radio host Ronan McGrath. The label has a few releases under it's belt so far, mostly online releases, but they have made a few special physical releases.

I bought a nice copy of their latest release by noise/electronic act Kaleider called Denormalizer. The CD is blank, but richly illustrated with a colourful collage and features a download cars for the music online.

Next up for Bollokscraft is a release from All My Evils called The Rose Tree. Right now, it's just available online. You can check out this release and many others from the label on their website. Give them a donation and enjoy!

Ronan is also a blogger and has agreed to be interviewed for a future feature on local experimental music.

Here's a jam featuring Ronan on mandolin and local noise/electronic/folky Sean Luciw on guitar!
