Video premiere: BETABOYS - Newport Beach


The Cups N Cakes Network is pleased to premiere the new video from Calgary’s very own BETABOYS, ahead of the release of their debut record Just Yesterday on June 2nd. “Newport Beach” is a glorious piece of 80’s nostalgia, accompanied by a gorgeous video (by illustrator Amery Sandford) that wouldn’t feel out of place as a sequence in a Pendleton Ward TV show.

Just Yesterday was recorded by Chris Dadge at Child Stone Studios in Calgary, and the band is celebrating the release of the record on June 2nd at Commonwealth Bar & Stage, with an 80’s formal party. Catch the show if you’re in town, or catch BETABOYS at this year’s Sled Island Festival a couple weeks later.

Jeff MacCallum is our founder. He created Cups N Cakes simply because he had a love of local music. Soon the platform grew beyond the confines of his scene in Edmonton to include all of Canada.

"I did it all very DIY. Everything you see was me learning on the fly. I'm a carpenter not a musician, or a journalist, or a publicist... I'm a carpenter and a weird crazy music fan that thought he could do something fun that might benefit something I care about"

Over the years, MacCallum's commitment to elevating Canadian music earned him a spot as a Polaris Prize Juror, a WCMA Juror, a consultant for music festival curation, and a dear friend to independent music in Canada.
