The Current wants to share great Minnesota music with the world, so we've partnered up with Manitoba Music - Winnipeg to swap two bands from each city for the ultimate Local Music Exchange.

The bands are 3PEAT, Bruise Violet, Fathom Lane and VIKINGS, and you'll be hearing them occasionally on our airwaves, but also, you can see them in person tonight at Icehouse (or in Fargo tomorrow night or Winnipeg Friday night).

So for today's 9:30 Coffee Break, what songs do you want to hear that mention a place in Canada?

Respond with your song ideas in the comments below.
