Woodpigeon, Woman and Chad VanGaalen is a pretty good start. Feist is also from Calgary, though I think living in Paris now. I've also stumbled across the Consonant C, Thighs and Aaron Booth on my travels. All worth checking out. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O1s20Ekd_L8 Well.

Actually, to be fair, I can't name all that many Calgary artists either. Woodpigeon are good, yes. You mentioned the only other two Calgary artists (Women and Chad VanGaalen) I can think of off the top of my head. (And by off the top of my head, I mean after much frantic googling). Not really enough to call you out on. I'm enjoying this stuff (and despite the hometown links, had never heard of them). Well, it’s about time you apologized for your atrocious oversight.
