Shambhala is where it all began.  For many of us, it is a life-altering homecoming and we couldn't be more honoured to be asked to cover a festival that has meant so much to us and many others.  This years rendition was a very challenging festival frought with rain which makes recording audio more diffiicult than normal.  Sadly, more interviews had to be left on the cutting room floor than we would have liked, but c'est la vie.  We hope you enjoy listening to it!  Much love and respect to The Dream Zine for collaborating and working on this project with us.

Produced in collaboration with The Dream Zine.

The Electric Kool Aid Festival Tour - Intro

K-Riz, Oozeela and the band stopped by The Dream Zine and GRadio.ca booth at North Country Fair to talk about their set and their time at the festival.  There were a lot of people around the mics, and a lot of music in the background, but it was a great chat with one of our favourite performances of the weekend.  We talked about their set, the festival and what's in store in the coming months.  We also chat briefly with Jonathan of Klusterfunk who plays saxophone with K-Riz to get an update about one of our favourite local bands.
