Calgary rocker, Chad VanGaalen, often wishes he could go back to busking his hometown city streets before he unintentionally became an indie darling.
“I learned by busking I could usually make $200 a day and pay my rent. It’s what I wanted to do and was a great life,” said VanGaalen during an interview with Suite101.
That was the past however and today VanGaalen is fast becoming one of the top Canadian indie singers as well as a favourite in the U.S. and Europe.

After signing onto Flemish Eye Records in Canada and Sub Pop Records with the U.S. in 2004, he released his first album, Infiniheart, to critical acclaim. The Globe and Mail described it as, “Pulp fairy tales that are easy to enter, so hard to leave behind.”
Since then he has worked hard to write, produce and animate a new album every two years. In 2006 he came out with Skelliconnection and in 2008, the album he is promoting currently, Soft Airplane.
VanGaalen’s songs are original and experimental. His willowy, fragile voice sings songs of death and dreams in beautiful context. He uses a variety of instruments, including the harmonica, ghetto blasters, banjo and his favourite, the Steinberger, a small electric guitar.
