Song of the Day: Rouge – Modern Lovers I

Sep 23, 2011, 1:15pm The Panic Manual
Song of the Day: Rouge – Modern Lovers I Rouge are an all-girl trio whose members include Kelly McMichael from Gentlemen Reg , Jess Tollefsen from Green Go and Emma Tollefsen. I just copied and pasted that line from a pr email, but really, it's a well formed introductory sentence. The group is part Guelph, part Toronto and all about dirty dance beats accompanied by disco inspired synth lines. Reminds me of a local version of defunct UK act Client . Modern Lovers I is a track off their debut 73 and is an extremely polished track that will light up some [...]

Toronto duo Light Fires are releasing their debut 7" tomorrow. The record consists of A-side "Ten Feet Tall", with "If You're Bored" on the flip.

Lake Superiority Complex

Jun 27, 2011, 1:43am Said the Gramophone
Lake Superiority Complex The Lovely Bad Things - "Big Sur" I'm not saying this would ever happen, a lot of things would have to be just right in order for this to happen, but if a cat stole a megaphone and went to the roof of city hall to make demands, I think people would listen. The cat would say stuff like "down with currency, down with property" and outline its ideas about The Great Roam, a new paradigm of human interaction, based on nomadic traditions and something called "telenesting" a brand new way [...]

2011 Polaris Music Prize long list is long

Jun 17, 2011, 11:21am Chromewaves
2011 Polaris Music Prize long list is long Anton Corbijn It only took about six minutes via Twitter to announce the forty albums long-listed for the sixth edition of the Polaris Music Prize , we'll have the next three weeks to argue over their relative merits and come July 6, when the ten record-strong short list is announced, another couple months to hash those out before the September 19 gala in Toronto when a yet-to-be-determined grand jury declares their pick for the best Canadian album of the past year. And there's more at stake this year than in the past, [...]

Jenn Grant plans splendid Honeymoon

Jan 28, 2011, 8:28am Chromewaves
Jenn Grant plans splendid Honeymoon jenngrant.com Just to be clear - Haligonian songstress Jenn Grant's upcoming Toronto show would have been pretty much a must-see regardless. Her latest album Honeymoon Punch is just about the record I've been hoping she'd make since she arrived with her debut Orchestra For The Moon in 2007. It sheds some of the overly tasteful production choices that held it and 20092s Echoes back and gets both breezy and scrappy, pushing the electric guitars up, and [...]

Pop Montreal 2010: Day 4 It was a busy fourth day at Pop Montreal. I started off the day checking out Puces Pop . Puces Pop is Montreal's largest do-it-yourself festival where people can come and celebrate all types of independent creation! All I can say was there was alot of people there. Interesting to see what unique stuff that comes out from it. Also it was the day I actually tried out the Bixi bikes . Those bikes are so fun! I went to the Notman House for the [...]

Gentleman Reg//How We Exit

Sep 22, 2010, 11:06am One Sweet Song
Gentleman Reg - How We Exit
I stumbled upon this band and track on an Arts and Crafts sampler. Like the label, the band is from Toronto. They're presumably named for frontman Reg Vermue. I think the thing I love most about this song is all that sassyness, combined with sax for max effect of course. I feel like I'm getting told and it feels...well...like I want to be told. It's also pitch perfect in the way it elicits a late-night rowdy dramatics--not that they're ever mentioned by name...but it's certainly what comes to mind for me. [...]

Forest City Lovers, Gentleman Reg and Carmen Elle at The Great Hall in Toronto Frank Yang Though I'd seen Forest City Lovers a few times in the past year while their new record Carriage was being written, I can't say as though I remember (m)any of the new songs being aired out live before being committed to tape; perhaps all the more reason that I was bowled over by just how good the new album is when I finally got to hear the finished product a couple months ago. And that was also part [...]

Preview:: Sappyfest 2010

It may sound a little hokey, but it's also true - I don't think we've ever heard anyone say a bad word about Sappyfest . I'm not sure if it's the setting, the people who run & support the fest, or the combination of musicians that come together for it, but everyone we've talked to about it was pretty darn near over the moon about the whole thing. I'm pretty sure it's a combination of those factors that make it such a great event, and I'm sure it's gotten much bigger than the organizers ever would have [...]

Happy long weekend, my fine countryfolk. With the coming of May 2-4, summer isn't far behind.

NXNE announces 2010 lineup; even skeptics admit it's a little bit of alright Mick Rock For those of us who've become accustomed to the all-encompassing scale, splendour and chaos of that grandaddy of all club-level music festivals - that's SxSW , in case you were wondering - It can be kind of fun to pick on the Toronto versions CMW/CMF and NXNE for, essentially, not being South-by. It's not a fair comparison by any means, but it's inevitable. We've had to check those darts and break out some laurels in recent years, however, as both fests have made significant improvements in terms of organization, [...]

Toronto in-store announcements galore, including The Besnard Lakes, The Balconies and Tinariwen Chris Gergley One of my very favourite developments in the Toronto music scene over the past few years has been the rise of the in-store performance - whereas not so long ago there were maybe just a handful a year, they're now occurring all the time at most of the independent record stores in the city and featuring bigger and bigger acts. Not only is it giving fans the opportunity to see artists in an intimate setting, it's also often the only chance for underagers to see them live. And while I've often bemoaned the lack of a [...]
