Either I’m getting indecisive in my old age, or Calgary is just getting better and better shows. In most weeks, a set from Manchester DJ Mr. Scruff would be a guaranteed highlight, and a free show at Olympic Plaza doubly so — weather permitting, of course. But while the High Performance Rodeo’s Snowblower party on Saturday, January 16 has a pretty damned awesome lineup, which also includes Denver’s Pretty Lights, San Francisco’s Beats Antiques, Calgary’s Bruno Changkye and a crew of visual artists, it’s far from the only game in town.

The Marquee Room will give Snowblower a run for its groove-based currency with a set from French electro-soul trio Smooth on Friday, January 15. It’s not the easiest band in the world to do a Google search for (pro tip: don’t name your band after a common adjective for your genre), but if you do, you’ll be well rewarded. Slinky basslines, immaculate synths and laid-back drums all combine irresistibly — this one is tailor-made for seduction.

On the other hand, if your idea of seduction involves fewer disco balls and more shrieking about hellfire, there’s always Warbird at Olympic Billiards on Saturday. They’ll be joined by fellow Calgarians Bat Country, whose Hunter S. Thompson-inspired name doesn’t give much of an indication of the band’s psychedelia-inflected blues sound. Think older Pelican, with more vocals and an allegiance to metal over indie-rock, if the band’s MySpace is any indication.

There’s also some band called Guns N’ Roses at the Saddledome on Saturday. The name seems familiar, but the singer’s some creepy dude with cornrows, and the guitar player doesn’t have a top hat, which is weird. In any case, it might be pretty decent. At least they’ve got Danko Jones opening — the Mango Kid’ll deliver the rock, no matter what Axl’s like these days.

But, back to the dance floor. Chicago’s Kid Sister will be bringing pure club bliss to the Hifi on Wednesday, January 20. “Discovered” by Kanye and often working with Flosstradamus and A-Trak, Sister seems just as comfortable with house tracks, dubstep and straight-up hip hop, so it’s hard to say what direction this night will take.
