This week, we bring you a special look into our past, as we dig through the archives and play songs we brought you on set lists from 5 years ago, 10 years ago, and 14 years ago this week. Why 14? Well, because our show isn’t yet 15 years old!

It’s also the second week of KOOP’s Fall Membership Drive, and we are asking for your support!

While we were away on summer vacation, a ton of new music piled up—much more than can fit in just one show! For the next few weeks, we’ll be combing through the latest releases of August and September to bring you the best of the new music on the Canadian indie scene. And, we’ll be doing all of this in the midst of KOOP’s Fall Membership Drive, which is running throughout the month of September.
