Pyper Geddes CONTRIBUTOR
Kelowna’s The Capers, a Kelowna-based band, will celebrate the release of their debut album Ring True, this Saturday with a special performance at the Habitat.

18-year-old sister Sydney to her life was likely not her best career move or financial decision, but says that’s why this book is all about the other little things that happen along the road of life and the important role her kids have played in building her own happiness. “When you think of all the things that happen with kids, it’s not logical, but you love your kids and they bring a lot to your life. They bring a lot of humour to your life and a lot of fun,” she said.
Pulling kids from the neighbourhood and friends both girls have had roaming the house for years into the project to use as illustrations, the book is punctuated by funny mugshots that just might remind you of your kids or the ones down the road. “It’s just designed to kind of poke fun at being a parent,” said Nicholl. “If there is a moral message, it’s kind of: Lighten up— you’re doing a good job.” And with chapters like “Surviving the family jungle” and “Dealing with labour issues” it’s sure

These classic sides sound mighty fine in their original two-track tape mono settings and fans will be thrilled that they are now finally available—but this could easily have been a 40-song anthology with the Bsides too.

The album features Natalia Nova Hill in a debut performance, signalling the arrival of an authentic, pure voice, usually engaged as part of a threepart vocal arrangement with Ari and Ezra Cipes, both of whom are also songwriters and multi-instrumentalists.
