This Week in Saskatoon: Saskatchewan Jazz Festival, Doom Squad, MONO

Ah June, that perfect storm between Sask. Jazz Fest, Calgary’s Sled Island, and all the local music shows you can handle. Aside from all the big names, there are plenty of smaller shows going on this week that may fly below your radar. This Tuesday, don’t forget to check out weirdo power-punk trio Sightlines at the Saskatoon Skate Park (one of the coolest new venues to pop-up in the city in recent years), dark-psych-garage attach of the Frigs at Vangelis, and the haunting electro-pop of local Economics at the Saskatoon Library. For more picks, check out our list of Top 10 Summer Shows in Saskatchewan.
