Break on through to the other side.
This is the Television Musical Showcase with a difference. KickVid Productions is launching a nationwide search to find the most diverse musical talent in Canada today – so whether you are rock and roll, hip hop, rap, country, punk, alternative, folk or whatever – if you think your band is just about to break through to the other side, then we want to meet you and put you on TV.
Music is a vibrant living thing. Songs either are immortalized or fall off into obscurity. Radio stations have been taking advantage of discovering new talent for decades.
IndieLook does the same thing.
​
It showcases quality talent and shows the world that good music doesn’t always come from the mass-produced, engineered studio machine, it comes from musicians with passion.
The independent music scene is more vibrant than ever. When international stars are discovered on competition shows and social media sites, more and more people are revealing their talent and creating bands that are contributing to the music scene in a new, fresh, exciting way.
Indie look is an exciting, new music television show that showcases dramatic and new up-and-coming singers and bands, any age, from any style of music, in the Canadian music scene. The TV Show’s objective is to promote and advance the creation of original, creative and unique stories, music and bands.
Each episode is hosted by Joanna Swan, an accomplished actor and musician herself, who will interview the band, share their experiences, history and talk about their future prospects. The episode will showcase the band’s dynamic, music videos, and at the end, a performance video of the band and their chosen song.
The purpose of the show is to discover and showcase new, raw and brilliant talent, excite the indie music scene, and help catapult the new talent to bigger projects so they can to break on through to the other side.
What to expect
When a band qualifies for the show, they are now part of a three-part filming process.
​
1) The first part is the performance of the band. This is arranged through Indie Look. The performance will include one entire set
of at least 5 songs but no more than 8. No new material, preferably songs that correspond with previous released CD’s or Music
Videos. - We want to showcase you and your work. There may be instances where we ask you to play a song again. If that is the
case, we will have you play it at the end of the set so there is no loss of momentum.
​
2) The second part is the interview with the band. This will be done AFTER the performance. The interview questions will be
provided to you beforehand.
3) The third part is the rehearsal process. The band
will go through a normal rehearsal process,
rehearsing the set list. Additional Interviews will be
conducted during the rehearsal by the host
Joanna Swan in their rehearsal space, and ask
questions pertaining to their music and their
history as a band. As well as the show’s intro,
outro and interstitials are filmed at this time.
This is an individual day for the band.
The crew then collects the b-roll of the area and
collects any existing items that will help flush out the band’s story.
