Now a decade in, singer Spencer Morphy once lived in a camper van on the beaches of Australia before bringing it together with Addison Hiller. But pulling us back to the present, the five-piece band’s sunny album Declarations of the 3am Freeway on bandcamp.com is a very fine place to get to know them before hitting this show.
Free skate rentals at City Hall Plaza: The Edmonton Arts Council has a lovely little free-fun program going on here. Starting Friday through Jan. 3, its holiday hours are extended to noon–9 p.m. with the exception of New Year’s Eve Tuesday.
First-come, first-serve on the skates, and please note the skating is weather dependent — so not so much on the recent slushy days, but things are looking to slightly cool off to just right in the next little bit.
(During open hours, P.S., pop into city hall and see the Hear Our Voices: Michel People and Residential School exhibit, a chance to witness stories of generations of people who survived on the northwest outskirts of the city.)

Nosferatu (2024): In case you were not watching the most artful ball of terror of the year on its Christmas Day release, you seriously want to experience this beast on the big screen.
Director Robert Eggers can happily add his latest to the pile of cinematic masterpieces including The Witch, The Lighthouse and The Northman — the only complaint I had on that one being that Nicole Kidman and Anya Taylor-Joy should have been covered in way more mud given the grubby setting.
No spoilers here, but this Nosferatu ain’t your great-great-grandparents’ Symphony of Horror in this stunning dread zeppelin, and Robin Carolan delivers yet another score worth having on vinyl and playing with the lights out.
