Joel Plaskett and the Art of Scrappy Happiness

Joel Plaskett and the Art of Scrappy Happiness The first time that Joel Plaskett played in Philadelphia was 1995 when the barely out of his teens Plaskett opened up for the Toadies at the Trocadero along with his former band Thrush Hermit.  The band went their separate ways in 1999 and the years since has seen Plaskett seen a good amount of success as a solo artist.  However, his star has burned brighter in his native Canada than it has in the United States.   So on his most recent swing through the City of Brotherly Love, the Nova Scotia born and based singer-songwriter played to a crowd in [...]

Belle & Sebastian ready to show off their urban, rootsy side at Toronto Urban Roots Festival

Belle & Sebastian ready to show off their urban, rootsy side at Toronto Urban Roots Festival Reuben Cox The Toronto Urban Roots Festival has existed under a shroud of mystery since its existence emerged late last month , and even with its grand unveiling last week, it still only had two acts on its opening night - She & Him and Camera Obscura - to its roster. A promising start, but still eliciting more questions than excitement. That balance has arguably skewed in the other direction considerably with yesterday's announcement of Belle & Sebastian as the headlining act on the festival's closing night, July 7. That they're [...]

OSTROV’S BEST OF 2012

OSTROV’S BEST OF 2012 There were so many good albums this year that I couldn't make the decision to rank them, and I know that's not the most important decision anyway, so this year's best-of list is in groups with no internal order. This is the art I spent my cherished/wasted time consuming this year. Hope everybody's upcoming year is full of growth. Albums, Best of the Best: Franz Nicolay - Do the Struggle  - tentative cynic-folk, sincere show-rock ( 9B review ) [...]

Django Django are are coming coming to to town town

Django Django are are coming coming to to town town Pavla Kopecna In mentioning yesterday that winning the Mercury Prize allowed Alt-J to graduate from playing Wrongbar in September to playing The Phoenix in March, we can also scientifically see what only getting nominated to the shortlist gets you. Django Django , who were shortlisted on the strength of their self-titled debut , also played Wrongbar in late September and have also just scheduled a Spring tour that brings them back to town in March - March 12, specifically, and at The Opera House.

Xmas RT Contest: Win Tickets to see Joel Plaskett on December 12th or 13th Let's face it, everyone Canadian music fan loves Joel Plaskett . The Nova Scotian rocker just has some sort of undeniable appeal that resonates with all people from Bonavista to Vancouver Island.

The Super Friendz and The Meligrove Band at Lee’s Palace in Toronto

The Super Friendz and The Meligrove Band at Lee’s Palace in Toronto Frank Yang That whole, "Halifax is the new Seattle" thing that went down in the early '90s is better known these days for simply having happened than for much of the music that came out of it. Sloan precipitated it and continue to endure, and the likes of Thrush Hermit and Eric's Trip are still remembered fondly by many and their principals continue to make music, but most Maritime acts who were tipped as the next big, fuzzy, plaid-clad thing some 15 to 20 years ago simply called it a day after a release or two, to be [...]

The Horseshoe turns 65, Joel Plaskett volunteers to jump out of cake five times

The Horseshoe turns 65, Joel Plaskett volunteers to jump out of cake five times Ingram Barss There's been a series of articles The Grid for the past year called Then & Now that has been diligently recording the history of Toronto's musical history by way of its clubs and venues, many of which have been consigned to history regardless of what legendary acts have sweat upon their stages. It's truly fascinating reading - especially if you take the time to look up what sort of pedestrian businesses reside at those addresses today - but it's comforting to know that the [...]

Harvest Jazz & Blues Festival: Joel Plaskett and Andy Brown 09/12/2012 by ellefeeney Halifax's Joel Plaskett and the Emergency Band was one of my most anticipated acts at this year's Harvest Jazz and Blues Festival.

Diamond Rings at The Drake Underground in Toronto

Diamond Rings at The Drake Underground in Toronto Frank Yang We've certainly come a long way since late Summer, 2009 when Diamond Rings was that curious synth-pop side-project from the guy who fronted local garage-rock fixtures The D'Urbervilles (now Matters ). That infectious Summer song turned into a breakout debut album in Special Affections that would take John O'Regan, his guitar and laptop and unicorn tapestry, on a glitter-and-eyeshadow-fuelled journey around the world. Quite a tale, and one that had many anxious for the sequel. That part the second officially arrives with the [...]

JOEL PLASKETT — SCRAPPY HAPPINESS

JOEL PLASKETT — SCRAPPY HAPPINESS Last year I reviewed Plaskett 's odds-n-ends collection  Emergencys  and said you'd like him if you were ever moved by Paul McCartney, Paul Westerberg, or Tom Petty.  Scrappy Happiness   (released as one single per week this past winter) casts that net wider in all directions, into Lou Reed, Jackson Browne, and Jon Snodgrass waters. I knew as this album was coming out in January/February that it would stay in the top-10 all year. " Lightning Bolt ," the  Street Hassle - esque album-opener is the song of the year so [...]

Shadowy Men On A Shadowy Planet, catl., and Daniel Romano at Lee’s Palace in Toronto

Shadowy Men On A Shadowy Planet, catl., and Daniel Romano at Lee’s Palace in Toronto Frank Yang Saturday night was pretty flush with options for Toronto music fans - Edgefest for the kids up at Downsview, the Sarah Harmer-led free War Of 1812 celebrations at Fort York for the CBC Radio 3 crowd - but for those of a certain generation, there was nowhere else to be but Lee's Palace. Because for one night only, Shadowy Men On A Shadowy Planet were back. Thanks to being the house band for the Kids In The Hall comedy troupe in the late '80s and early '90s, Shadowy Men were arguably [...]

A Look at the Polaris Long List: 31. Joel Plaskett Emergency – Scrappy Happiness

A Look at the Polaris Long List: 31. Joel Plaskett Emergency – Scrappy Happiness I have it on good advice that Joel Plaskett Emergency is a staple of Canadian sub-genre of rock known as dock rock (is having a song titled "Harbour Boys" an acknowledgement of this fact, I wonder??). At various points Scrappy Happiness reminded me of J. Geils Band , Tom Petty , a mellow version of Everclear and (I'm being extremely charitable here) Nick Lowe . It had it's moments and was well-produced but overall, this wasn't really my bag. Stream every track from the album on Joel's site [...]
