Women on the CBC Radio 3 Sessions

Hana Bi {Giulia Mazza}

Calgary's Women, who's self titled debut was recorded by Chad Van Gaalen are up on this week's CBC Radio 3 Sessions Podcast:

With a band name like Women you think there would be a few xx only chromosomes in the band, but not with this Calgary quartet.

Playing their own brand of new wave psychedelia, Women was formed in 2007 by two brothers, Patt and Matt Flegal and Chris Reinner and Mike Wallace, two old schools friends.In 2008 the band released their debut self-titled album.
Recorded  by Chad Van Gaaleen in his basement studio it took just 4 months on a ghetto blaster an old tape machine an outdoor culvert to put the sounds and feel of the album together. 
The boys of Women came by our radio 3 studio to perform a few new songs and add some new twists on older ones.
