The Wheat Pool
TWP on School of Rock & Hoody Winners!
May 23, 2008
The Wheat Pool has often been asked about their name, from day one really. Well, on their recent trip to Vancouver (New Music West showcase performance) the band had the pleasure of visiting the CBC Radio 3 studios to tape an edition of “School of Rock” – a regular podcast feature allowing bands to educate the listening audience with some interesting and connected piece of history.
And they were showered with some fantastic Radio 3 swag – thx again.
The band spilled on their connection to the history of The Wheat Pool cooperative in Alberta and Saskatchewan.
You can download this podcast by visiting CBC Radio 3 podcasts
Thanks to Grant Lawrence and Chris Kelly at Radio 3. Good People.
Oh – and thanks Vancouver. We had a great time.
