Sylvie

Regina, SK

After playing their hearts out for a packed and enthusiastic crowd in Toronto's Horseshoe this past Saturday, Sylvie was honoured on stage with the CBC Galaxie Award for NXNE 2006. The Galaxie Rising Stars Program of the CBC is an original program designed to champion up-and-coming Canadian artists. Launched in 1998, this program sets out to discover, encourage and promote new artists. Past recipients include The Arcade Fire, The Ladies and Gentlemen (Small Sins), and Great Lake Swimmers. A live broadcast of Sylvie's 2006 NXNE performance is available through CBC Radio 3 / Sirius Satellite Radio. Sylvie has also recently recorded three in-session new songs for CBC Radio 3 in Vancouver. Listen here! http://radio3.cbc.ca/play/concert/Sylvie-2006-02-06/ Sylvie's latest album, An Electric Trace, was released in October 2005 on Smallman Records. Described as 'absolutely brilliant' (Scene&Heard), 'stunningly awesome' (Leader Post), and 'one of the next big Canadian bands' (Gauntlet), An Electric Trace is an album as rich in complexity as it is persuasively danceable.
