February 3rd will see the release of Hamilton-based musician Sarah Beatty’s sophomore release Bandit Queen.
Creator described as a folk fabled concept album that began with a 19th-century horse thief named Belle Starr Bandit Queen documents the creative transition from concision, which was central to her first album Black Gramophone, towards a supersonic mythological expansion that happens on this album. “There are all kinds of mythologies telling people who they are and who they aren’t. With this song, I wanted to invite the dark parts into the story-line and inspire listeners to be their whole, real, bodacious, outlawed selves.”
“Bandit Queen really came into existence in the 19th century through the historical account of an exceptional and flawed woman. When I read about Belle Starr, the fabled bank heist mastermind turned horse thief, she grabbed my attention immediately. And from that original inspiration, I began imagining and contemplating all kinds of stories that rarely get told about women, even in the 21st century. Each of the songs on this record tells a different story, and as a collection, they become the spine of a whole other adventure.”
If you find yourself in or around Hamilton why not pick up a phisical copy of the album at either Cheapies Records & Tapes on King St East or Dr. Disc on Wilson Street.
Hello
I have been procrastinating for 4 days now over the Radio tests so instead of it being a full radio station with host breaks (I was dreadful. I thought the R3 hosts were good before but now I am in awe)
Anyway, the plan, in my mind at least, is to stream a playlist I threw together via the ampme app to see if we can use it as a backdoor radio system. To try and increase the pottential listener base I am thinking of waiting until 6pm UK time (1pmEST, 10am PST)

Good morning!
Good morning!
holy duck was ducking awesome!
well worth staying up late and being super tired at the swing dance lesson the next morning
If anyone is interested in trying this with me the test “radio” stream can be found at https://www.ampme.com/party/1485194658816/frVUcXSg6Y but it only works with the app
I have a lot of ROMO of that Holy Fuck show krib. I am glad you went and enjoyed though!
I will try to check that out Garf.
Here is a qr code to make it easier to access the radio stream test on your device of choice
Good morning everyone!
Hello!
Hi Justin
So far my phone doesn’t want to load the app page here at work.
🙁
I was able to load the app and am currently listening the stream!
🙂
Great job with the music, Garfield! I’m out a little early today, have a great rest of your afternoon/evening, everyone!
I stopped the stream because I had started hearing repeats, I’ll make the playlist bigger next time and see if I can stop tracks repeating (the other way we could use this is to line up old R3 podcasts instead of single tracks)
Anyway this is the playlist it was working from
I will try to get that app for another test another time.
I had a great weekend of music btw. Winterruption was great. 3 nights of some pretty fantastic talent works for me.
Sarah Beatty sounded pretty good.
I have yet to listen to her first album but I enjoyed this one
I am going to bid you a good night and I will try to do better next time
