This has been a great weekend for Lights! Epic achievements ftw! She has won 2 more awards today at the 9th Annual Independent Music Awards.

I had the opportunity to chat with her online before the show and wished her luck, and as usual, she was very modest and down to earth. Even in her acceptance speeches she sounds genuinely surprised to have won, but of course the best artist won <3

Her friends from Ten Second Epic presented the award for Favourite Single of the Year.

Some scratchbag at GuttersnipeMedia (he says he never heard her song bah!) took some photos and quoted her "(<Lights> thanked mentor Jian Ghomeshi for believing generic top 40 music sung by a pretty girl could get played on Canadian airwaves. What a risk-taker, that Jian!)"

I just got the forums up and running! I'll be needing some help with moderating them and updating content.

This is Lights performing a new song called River, I tried to record this in Toronto, but it didn't come out well, but fortunately someone recorded her singing it Live in Saint Catharines.

Will Lights be techie enough to fix Russel? We shall see...

White (LIVE) - Russel breaks down </3

Check out this amazing performace live on Virgin Radio, as she covers I Want It That Way (by Backstreet Boys) from 01/16/2009

With only 6 songs on her EP, she introduced some new songs and did a sweet cover of Phil Collins "In The Air Tonight".

At the end of the concert Lights took out the acoustic guitar and did an unplugged version of February Air <3
