"I Knew"

From the album Playing in our Adult Clothes

Featured track, available from January 28 to February 5


The Big Fun fun is upon us. The indie music fest celebrates its fifth birthday with over a dozen concerts and 45+ acts in various Winnipeg venues, including one of the city's hottest (and coldest) spots. Big Fun brings the music to river popup restaurant RAW/Almond throughout the weekend. One of the acts hitting the stage is pop pair Courier News, aka collaborators Matt Schellenberg (Royal Canoe) and Alexa Dirks (Chic Gamine), which kicks things off on January 28 along with Rocko Modern. Exclaim recently premiered a live video of the band performing new single "I Knew", which also happens to be our featured track this week. The tune is off the duo's album Playing in our Adult Clothes, which should be available at the RAW/Almond show. Coming up, music fans have a new Royal Canoe album to look forward to while Chic Gamine released its latest, Light A Match, in October. Dirks is also working on her first solo project, so stay tuned for that. In the meantime, get your mittens on "I Knew". catch all the festival fun, and don't miss Courier News live.
