A new album from Toronto's Jason Collett is on the way, called Rat a Tat Tat , it will be released on March 9th 2010, but his label has seen fit to offer an mp3 off the record three months before it's release. Not sure why, but now that I ponder that question it may be to get a song out 6 weeks before the album leaks, which often is about 6 weeks before the official release date. I'm just thinking out loud, or talking out of my @$$. "Love is [...]

Jason Collett has a clattery sound to his music that I love, with a free-keeling howl in his voice that he plays fast and loose. He is mightily impressive live , friends with Feist from their mutual Broken Social Scene days, and has just announced an aptly-named new album Rat A Tat Tat coming out in March on the impeccable Arts & Crafts label from Canada. Listen to Jason's new song "Love Is A Dirty Word" here, and download the mp3 for free on his website [...]

Now as Zeus they are stepping into the spotlight themselves. Zeus will be releasing their debut full length album, Say Us, is set for February 23rd.

I can honestly say I'm a fan of pretty much everything Emily Haines has done so far, musically. There is Metric of course, and there is her solo stuff, but there's also - let's not forget - her many wonderful collaborations. Some, like " Anthems for a 17-year Old Girl ", seem to be universally loved while others, like " Stopwatch Hearts " or " Uptown Girl ", are less well known. From her songs with Stars and The Stills, to her involvement in Crystal Method and even Tiesto projects - it seems that this is one musician who cannot [...]
Amazon Yes, the "I" in IFOA stands for "International" (the rest of it is "Festival Of Authors"), but that's no reason we can't celebrate writers that hail from somewhat closer to home, and that's why eye and Pitchfork scribe Stuart Berman will be the featured guest at the Harbourfront Centre's Lakeside Terrace this Friday night , October 30, to be interviewed by The Toronto Star's Ben Rayner about his recent book This Book Is Broken: The [...]

Filed under: Exclusive , Northern Exposure , Canada Given Afie Jurvanen's musical pedigree, it'd be easy to label him a consummate sideman. The Toronto guitarist has spent the past few years honing his chops in the live bands of notable Canadian indie artists like Feist and Jason Collett . Jurvanen was an integral part of Collett's former backing band, Paso Mino, and his playing has bolstered Feist's note-perfect live ensemble since he joined her camp a few years ago. [...]
Winnipeg's The Weakerthans haven't made much noise since 2007's Reunion Tour , but it's safe to say they're ready to get back into the swing of things. Back in June, the dudes announced a string of fall tour dates through Canada and the US, and have since updated those dates and announced some rather stellar openers. A few remaining summer dates will see Broken Social Scene's Jason Collette do the honors, before one of our favorites, Rock Plaza Central , who released a rather extraordinary album earlier this summer, open up the [...]
[Birthday greetings go out to Rufus Wainwright today. Meanwhile, big doings all over SoCal tonight:] No Doubt's return to the road has been triumphant, from all the reviews, and it finally hits the band's native southern California tonight. Paramore is the main support band at the sold-out Gibson Amphitheatre, and although they don't seem to be listed on LiveNation sites, Sweden's the Sounds are first up — their new album "Crossing the Rubicon" is loads of fun. ...

Click here to view the embedded video. Saturday's BSS lineup included, among others, Feist, Emily Haines, Kevin Drew, Jimmy Shaw, Brendan Canning, Jason Collett, and Amy Millan. Impressive seeing them all together on the same stage considering all the ridiculous success many of them have had either solo or with other bands (Metric and Stars). Anyway, here's the group with Emily Haines out front dropping the track "Anthem for a 17-year-old Girl" with Feist and Amy Millan looking on in awe. There was some controversy concerning the show's cancellation and [...]
I have been a long time Ca Va Cool follower and am proud to call a few the writers friends whom I admire for their taste in music. Being an avid photographer for almost 9 years, my dream has always been to get into concert photography. So when Daniel asked me to step in for him at the NXNE, I couldn't have been more ecstatic. For Canadians, summer bodes a ton of opportunities to see many incredible musicians from coast to coast. Festivals in particular have always lured even the most docile fans with the promise of the [...]
Toronto - Last Saturday CBC Radio 3 hosted a night of music at the Horseshoe Tavern. The night began with performances by Woodpigeon and DD/MM/YYYY. The third band of the night was Ruby Coast , hailing from Aurora, Ontario. The band formed in 2006 and are coming off their EP Projectable Collections , produced by Dave Monks of Tokyo Police Club. This was an energetic young band that played straight up Canadian-brand Indie Rock. I would say that their set was good. There was nothing extra-special or standout, but it was an enjoyable [...]
Filed under: Live It Out , Canada One of the hottest tickets at North by Northeast was last night's book launch-slash-label showcase hosted by Toronto indie stalwart Arts & Crafts, celebrating local music scribe Stuart Berman's recently released 'This Book Is Broken,' a history of Broken Social Scene. The event's already palpable buzz was magnified by the "Special Guest Headliner." Since the line-up featured several members of BSS playing in their solo guises, it wasn't much of a stretch to guess who that might be.
Toronto - NXNE probably brings in a lot of out of towners, well, let us local types let you know where to stand for certain popular venues. The Horseshoe Tavern is "legendary" and will probably host a majority of the good shows at NXNE. It is on 370 Queen Street West near Queen and Spadina. The place is small so if you want to get in, make sure you are early. The space itself is narrow, so unless you are tall, you might want to push your way to the front. The spots to the [...]
