by teepoo Yesterday was a pretty great set of artists which I've previously blogged about but have not actually seen live. It was Young Empires CD release but the opening bands Paradise Animals, Honheehonhee and Bravestation made it a particularly great set. First up was Paradise Animals. They played some new things off their free EP that is available on Bandcamp . My boyfriend described them as a band that listens to nothing but the Talking [...]

Check out this 12 min video " Beyond the Scenes "; a self-made mini-documentary about Toronto band Bravestation on their 2010 EP studio recording sessions, White Wolves video shoot & UK Tour.
Toronto indie pop/new wave/afropop band Bravestation have had quite a year, beginning with the release of last year's fantastic 2010 EP and ending with their first trip overseas on a May 2011 tour of the UK. The year is documented in this self-produced mini-documentary -- inside the recording studio to filming a music video to tearing a hole in the roof of their tour van. With everything they've been up to, it's all the more exciting to see where the guys head next, not to mention what they do next. They're currently working on their debut [...]
![Static Zine Launch – Live Music [Photos]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3548215_lg.jpg)
I attended a DIY zine launch on June 19, 2011 . The zine is called Static Zine and it is a collective lifestyle and arts zine run out of Toronto. The first issue came out during NXNE. The free event took place at two different places. First it was at Sky Blue Sky which is an amazing sandwich place on 605 Bloor Street West. The sandwich is so good and they have some softdrinks like Cherry Coke, Crush in glass bottle and the different [...]

The week-long festival showcasing upcoming musicians and groups, will feature over 600 acts along with interactive media and discussion panels on all things music.

Sunday Service is a promotion run by the delectable Bernie Adamic in Brighton. It's been going for some time now, establishing itself in our seaside city as a staple night out for those who demand to rinse as much fun out of their weekends as possible. Her regular showcase of cutting edge music has found it's natural home at the small-but-perfectly-formed Green Door Store venue, which is housed under Brighton's train station in an old Victorian coach house. This Sunday (5th June) the service is bringing us one of it's finest line-ups to date, with not [...]

Tweet Charades is not a nice game. It produces pain, suffering and marriage problems. Children cry, animals get kicked, furniture gets destroyed and dignity slowly backs out of the room. So next time someone suggest a game of charades make for the exits, seriously break out of that place. No good can come from that scenario. If, however, charades gets sprung on you, or if you show weakness and allow the game to suck you in a little then I have a strategy. You want to know what it is? Find a happy place. [...]

Tweet On May 25th which is....uh...today, Bravestation are playing at the Dry Bar in Manchester and I am going to this gig. I don't get out much so I am pretty wired about this. I am even taking a friend. Anyhoo, Bravestation come from Toronto which is nice for them and they have a new single out called White Wolves - You can also download their entire EP for free! These crazy kids, how will they make any money? You can help them descend into greater levels of debt [...]
Words: Saam Das I'd heard Toronto band Bravestation last year but they didn't quite grab me enough at the time to write about them. There was definitely something about the band though so the other night I popped along to their debut UK show, promoted by the good folk at Laissez Faire Club . I was greeted by a set full of compelling experimental pop. The band have been going for quite sometime [...]
Our first Compilation album! After many weeks of preparation and organisation, we are immensely proud to present to you all the final track listing of the Number 1 covers so brilliantly produced by 15 hard working and very talent bands and artists. A special mention should also be accredited to Bravestation who's Talking Heads track we've included as a bonus track. When we originally contacted each band, we simply presented our idea to them and asked them to produce the best quality track that they could. With no funding other than money from their own backpockets, [...]
