CFXU 93.3FM The Fox is proud to announce that our premier act for the 2010-2011 year is the Highland’s own Pioneer Video. Please join us in rocking out with this fine local talent since, in their words, “the dance floor never stood a chance.”

Twin brothers Keith and Kyle MacDonald with their bandmate Andy Rankin are a fantastic example of Antigonish’s local indie rock scene. A relatively new group (having just formed in 2009) have many years of performing between them which is evident in the beautiful melodies and enchanting lyrics found on their myspace page, as well as the local pubs and bars in Antigonish.

DO NOT miss this chance to see them live at the St. FX Art Gallery on Thursday August 12th at 8:00pm. Located on the bottom floor SUB this acoustic-friendly venue creates a inviting atmosphere with the added bonus of art.

Opening acts are Mad Chatter and Ellen Taylor.
