We figured there would be good music in Newcastle, but we didn't expect to encounter such a diverse, awesome, and positive music scene that welcomed us into the fold of their trendy sound-making like the fish out of water, confused Canadians we are. In this episode, we hung out with the lovably gothy post-punk outfit Retriever. We saw them practice at their post-apocalyptic studio space then hit the town for brown ales and live gigs. We also got to hang out with a more upbeat (but still drearily influenced by the grey Newcastle weather) band called Yellow Creatures. Don't miss this one. Newcastle has a ton of culture to soak in.
