#ygkChallenge: Local Indie Playlist

Welcome to Kingstonist’s weekly challenge, dare, resolution or whatever you prefer to call it. Each week we establish a new and ambitious community goal, encouraging our readers, followers, friends and families to step out of their comfort zones and do something great, and hopefully a little out of the ordinary. Consider this your official and personal invitation to join us in completing a small but meaningful achievement. By taking part in this community-wide initiative, we hope to make Kingston a slightly better place to live, work and play. And of course, we also hope that you will feel proud of your contribution and achievement.

This week’s challenge encourages you to:

Spread the word about your favourite local indie musicians. Kingston may be on the verge of naming a street after the Tragically Hip, but there are many other local up and coming bands who are worth a listen or two. Whether you’re a longtime fan or have just discovered a new local band or tune that you can’t get enough of, we want to know! Let’s show some support for our awesome music scene, and assemble one heck of a local indie playlist.

Sign up and commit to completing this week’s challenge by responding with the name of your favourite local band, one of their best tunes, music videos or something along those lines. Further, help us spread the word via Twitter and Facebook by using the hashtag: #ygkchallenge. As you work towards completing this week’s task, please feel free to lend others a helping hand by providing tips on how you achieved success.
