Frank Yang Friday nights usually find Torontonians spoilt for entertainment options and tonight will be no exception, but if you're at all unsure of what to do with your evening then consider heading down to Lee's Palace. It's hosting a benefit concert for three young Oakville boys whom, following a tragic series of events, were orphaned in January of this year and in addition to all the emotional devastation, were left in a dire financial situation. Their uncle, however, was a founding member of The Hidden Cameras and has deep connections to the [...]
Dan Mangan - "Post War Blues" When I last posted about Dan Mangan , he didn't have an NYC date listed on his calendar, but I knew that being the road warrior that he is, he wouldn't be able to stay away for very long. Fast forward two weeks and it turns out that Dan will be opening for Blind Pilot at Webster Hall on June 5 ( Buy Tickets ). In other non-NYC specific Dan Mangan news, he has just [...]
Frank Yang If you were to plot out my appreciation for Patrick Watson on a graph versus time and geography, the salient data points would read something like this: September 2007, Toronto, Ontario - Watson wins the second Polaris Music Prize with his second album Close To Paradise , an album I was almost wholly unfamiliar with despite the fact that, as a juror, I probably should have been. I generally resent him for this because I was sure that Feist was [...]
by teepoo Here's Dan Mangan with a Dr. Strangelove inspired video for Post-War Blues . I love that he is subtly hinting at the education cuts that have happened since the Harper administration was elected into government. Dan Mangan- Post War Blues
From last year's album 'Oh Fortune'.
Shervin Iainez Rose Cousins is not a new artist. The Charlottetown by way of Halifax artist has been releasing music for the better part of a decade and I've technically heard her before as she's guested on any number of Maritime-born records including Joel Plaskett's, but I'd not heard any of her own material until her third full-length album We Have Made A Spark , released at the end of February. And clearly that's been my loss. It's not a record that stops you in your [...]

Over the weekend, the Canandian music award show the Junos announced this year's batch of winners sprung forth by this year's nominees (which included a lot of Christmas albums). Lots of familiar faces - the Biebs, Leslie Feist - but a couple of new looks also like the Arts & Crafts-signed singer-songwriter Dan Mangan. Pictured is Dance Recording Of The Year winners Dragonette doing something with their awards. Anyway, check out the notable winners and the full list down below. Read More...
Filed under: News , Awards , Junos Joshua Ostroff,AOL/WireImage (2) As with any award show, the 2012 Junos Gala, the un-televised Saturday ceremony where the vast majority of the gold is doled before the big Sunday show, was full of expected wins, unfortunate losses and not a few surprises. Feist , who swept her last Junos with five wins back in 2008, nabbed another pair of statues for [...]
![Live Taping of CBC Radio One's Q in Ottawa [Photos]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4166486_lg.jpg)
Ottawa is preparing big time for the Juno Awards. I was lucky to buy a ticket for CBC Radio One 's Q live taped show that took place at the Bronson Centre. For those that don't know Q is a arts, culture and entertainment magazine show hosted by Jian Ghomeshi . This was a sold out show because this was the first time the show did a live taping in Ottawa. Demand was very high and this being Juno Awards week. [...]
Frank Yang Despite only seeing four bands, I like to think that I covered a fair bit of ground - stylistically, geographically, exploratorily (?), what have you - on the first night of Canadian Musicfest . The Friday night stuck slightly closer to home on all fronts but yielded much better and consistent results. The evening kicked off at Rancho Relaxo with Neufovin in all the way from Finland (I mistakenly called them Norwegian in my festival preview and apologize profusely). Besides having an affinity for anything [...]
The 30th Annual Canadian Music Week is winding down. A lot of stuff was going on this year - one of the most notable things was the comeback of Canadian rock group, Treble Charger. Do you remember their single from 2000, American Psycho ? Oh man, the nostalgia. Anyways, here are my picks for tonight. ** Be sure to follow me on Twitter @feeonalui and @awmusicblog for live tweets from tonight's CMF festivities! The Indies at Royal York Hotel - Canadian Room. All Ages. Doors [...]
Spring has sprung and that could only mean one thing: Crocs season is back y'all! More importantly, the lineup announcement for this year's Osheaga Music Festival. Its 7th edition will be held once again @ Parc Jean-Drapeau and because of last year's success, will continue to be a 3-day affair from August 3rd to the 5th. The headliners [...]

6am Repeat is a recurring feature here at Folk Hive in which we stream the latest track that plays incessantly in the earbuds when we awake at that hour and imbibe massive amounts of coffee and cigarettes in preparation for the advancing day. Consider it your jam of the day — a sweet, sweet gift from me to you. I love you, dude. Dan Mangan is something new to me, which is a wholly different kind of tragedy I'm not prepared to deal with [...]

Amazon Yesterday was a pretty busy one as far as festival announcements went - the first acts for this year's Pitchfork Festival , happening July 13 to 15 in Chicago's Union Park, were revealed; Sled Island made a pretty compelling argument for visiting Calgary from June 20 to 23; and though an official announcement is still a little ways off, the fact that Florence & The Machine , The Walkmen , tUnE-yArDs , Black Keys and The Shins will all be passing through during the August long weekend [...]
