Hey, it’s Chantal. Sometimes it’s hard to keep track or be in the know about all the cool things going on in the city or online! Social media can get flooded, life can get chaotic, you know how it is. That’s what this is here for! Alternative Weekends is a nifty little series with the top 3 things happening in Edmonton or on SONiC, over the weekend. Who’s releasing a new album? Is there a SONiC artist live streaming? What can you do in Edmonton this weekend? Those questions will be answered here.

Here are 3 things to check out this weekend:

1. Experience the Hobby Show at the Old Strathcona Antique Mall.

This Saturday, January 16th, is the kick-off of the Hobby Show at the Old Strathcona Antique Mall.

The event is described as a show “that’s perfect for stocking up for winter and this pandemic environment.”

“Hobbies! Model kits, puzzles, sewing, crafting, knitting, buttons, stamps, coins, painting, photography.. and other vintage items to be found at this show! Our vendors will be bringing in so many interesting items. New items added as space opens up so be sure to check back in more than once!”

The Hobby Show runs from Saturday, January 16th through to Sunday, January 24th.

2. Celebrate Dave Grohl’s birthday with a new track from Foo Fighters!

A big happy birthday to Foo Fighters’ frontman Dave Grohl! He was kind enough to give us a present for his birthday, a brand new tune. Foo Fighters dropped a new song today off their forthcoming album, Medicine at Midnight called “Waiting On A War”.

Click here to give it a listen!

You can also watch the band perform on Jimmy Kimmel Live tonight!

3. Watch a free Grandson livestream.

Grandson has announced that every Sunday he’s going to be livestreaming from his YouTube channel to talk about music, politics, answer fan questions and do some acoustic performances. The first episode was streamed last week, he calls it XXLive.

You can watch the stream HERE this Sunday at 1 p.m.
