Watch Rescued by Dragonflyz Perform ‘Breaking Down' on AMP Sessions

This week's AMP Sessions features the newly formed rock outfit Rescued by Dragonflyz and their track "Breaking Down."

Rescued by Dragonflyz is a high energy new wave alternative punk rock band, formed by four friends who've been working and performing individually for twenty years in bands including Bruthers of Different Mothers, Mosquitos and Buffy Ste. Marie - ie, they're killer players who love what they do.

Director Chris Gaudry captured their live performance of "Breaking Down" for this week's AMP Sessions from Manitoba Music.

Watch Leonard Sumner Perform 'Best of Me' on AMP Sessions

Manitoba Music kicked off a fantastic new video series this week, AMP Sessions, with a spotlight on Anishinaabe artist Leonard Sumner. 

Leonard Sumner has been working hard the past few years, steadily spreading his rezpoetry and song to and more inspired ears and hearts. This year he won an Aboriginal Peoples Choice Music Award for Best New Artist and the Winnipeg Arts Council's On the Rise Award, and recently opened for A Tribe Called Red at The Danforth Music Hall in Toronto.

Meanwhile, Manitoba Music's Aboriginal Music Program has launched a month long weekly feature of live performance videos by four acclaimed acts, the first being Mr. Sumner himself.

I've seen Leonard perform this song a number of times over the past few years - it is definitely one of my faves - and I think it's perfectly captured here by director Chris Gaudry at Winnipeg's Bedside Studios.

AMP Sessions will rollout on Wednesdays for three more weeks and "Best of Me" is from Sumner's 2013 album Rezpoetry. Get it on iTunes and watch it now.
