The Shindigs are a five-piece indie rock band from Nanaimo on Vancouver Island.

In this episode, Eric Chan talks with Shea Peoples and Alex Peabody about the unlikely connection that first brought the band together, how that early friendship became part of their creative process, and what changed once the shows started getting bigger.

They also get into writing as a full band, learning how to turn a set into a real show, and why touring can still feel like a week-long sleepover with your friends.

Kaj Falch-Nielsen from Blue Light Studio joins Inlet Wire to talk about how a recording space can become something bigger than just a studio. Eric Chan speaks with Kaj about Blue Light’s growth into an East Vancouver creative hub, how Blue Light Sessions helped build community around the room, and what it takes to keep a space like that going in Vancouver. They also get into Kaj’s approach as a producer — understanding the song first, building it piece by piece, and chasing those moments in the studio when everything suddenly clicks.

Summer’s Brother joins Inlet Wire to talk about how the project slowly took shape as a band, how recording helped sharpen their identity, and how their songwriting approach has changed as they’ve grown closer as a unit. Eric Chan speaks with Connor, Max, and producer Andy from Park Sound Studio about collaboration, experimentation, and what starts to happen when momentum builds in the room. The conversation also gets into the personal side of writing, and how newer material is opening up bigger questions around authenticity and where the band wants to go next.
