I know we're only into the first week of December, but you know how nutty the holidays can get, what with all the merry-making and the eggnog and the various delicious liquors that go in the eggnog, so who knows if we'll get another Video Hits posted this year. But I have to say, if this is indeed it for the year, it's a great one to go out on. For example, we have what many people are already calling the best video of the year: Kalle Matson's Thick As Thieves . As [...]
Outstanding Sault Ste Marie/Ottawa band Kalle Mattson have released a really cool video for their track "Thick As Thieves" from their sophomore album Anchors . Watch it here: To celebrate the success of the video, the band are giving away the entire album for free for a limited time. Oh hey, look, that album was #3 on my list of Best Canadian Albums of 2011 that I posted earlier today! All the more reason to go get it here . [...]

Anyone who knows me, I mean really knows me, knows I'm more of a Scrooge than Santa at this time of year. It's not something I'm proud of, but I well aware that the holidays can bring out the worst in me. That's why this year, I'm trying to bring about some inner cheer by spreading some outer love to all QBiM faithful readers. It's been a pretty good year 'round QBiM, don't you think? I have a lot to be happy and proud about (and I am), and I think that I can carry some [...]
by teepoo Kalle Mattson - Thick As Thieves (Official Video) from Kevin Parry on Vimeo . Hey look on Vimeo front page right now! Canada's own Kalle Mattson has made it on the Videos We Like List awesome. It's an adorable history of the world told through arts and crafts.
Discovered this incredible stop-motion arts and crafts history of the world music video last night while browsing on Vimeo . The video is directed by Kevin Parry and it's for the song "Thick As Thieves" by Kalle Mattson .
Maybe you missed it earlier this year in the deluge of music that came out in March and April, but Kalle Mattson 's sophomore LP, Anchors , has become one of my go-to records of 2011. The young band from Sault Ste. Marie that started out as a solo project for songwriter Kalle Wainio has developed some very impressive chops in the two years since their debut, Whisper Bee , was first released, and things just keep getting better and better. Yesterday, Parliament of Trees (who signed Kalle Mattson [...]
Great Sault Ste Marie/Ottawa folk/rock band Kalle Mattson are releasing a new single on November 8th. These songs had their origins in the same sessions that produced the Anchors album, which looks like a good bet to be on my top 10 albums of 2011 list. Have a listen now: <p><a href=" http://kallemattson.bandcamp.c om/album/the-shore-palm-sunday -7">The Shore/Palm Sunday 7&quot; by Kalle Mattson</a></p> Kalle Mattson play The Boat in Toronto on November 21th.
Happy 144th Birthday, Canada. The QBiM tradition of a homegrown party soundtrack continues with the latest edition of RADiO QBiM. Here's hoping all my North American friends have themselves a super and safe long weekend.

by teepoo Kalle Mattson is a 4 piece group from Sault St. Marie, Ontario. They've grown from a pretty simple folk band to more of a indie-rock type deal and was a rave at CMW. They just released their second album Anchors last week. Here's a track titled Thick As Thieves , a catchy indie-rock tune with very folk sounding roots.

I've been thinking a lot about how I would describe Anchors , the new album from Sault Ste. Marie ON's Kalle Mattson , without repeating what I've already said about them in previous posts . In terms of the album, there's much to celebrate; Anchors is a bright, accomplished album that showcases vocalist/guitarist Kalle Wainio's burgeoning songwriting talent. "Thick As Thieves" and my personal favourite, "Good Morning, Goodnight" are absolutely effervescent pop moments that spill forth from your speakers like liquid gold. That the band can balance these performance with a [...]
Yesterday was the perfect storm of awesomeness to issue Spring into Halifax. As the sun made a cameo appearance, thousands of people deliberated painfully with a spring jacket in one hand and a winter coat int he other. Then, like the mother in The Good Son , we let our winter jacket fall to an early death, turned and embraced thinner and less intrusive outwear. Throw in the drunken douchebaggery of St. Paddy's Day and the opening tip of the greatest (non-World Cup) tournament in the world and someone better call Nelly as it is indeed getting hot in [...]
Day 2 of Canadian Music Week means it's time for me to ramp things up after a leisurely opening night. The first stop of the night was The Piston to catch Montreal's Domestic Crisis Group, a show that was rescheduled at the last minute. I believe this was the duo's first appearance in Toronto, and hopefully not their last. Showcasing their self-described "melancountry" they reinforced what I
One of the most pleasant surprises I had in 2009 was Whisper Bee, the delightful debut from Sault Ste Marie band Kalle Mattson. On March 22nd, they return with their highly-anticipated (by me anyway) sophomore record Anchors. Juno-nominated Howie Beck (Feist, Hayden, Jason Collett) produces the new record. Often when I describe a band's music as 'moody', it means it's dark and brooding, and
"They are a happy accident where Wilco, Neil Young and Pavement topple head over heels together down a hill, falling into a beautiful mess at the bottom..." is what I first said about Kalle Mattson way back in November of last year. Now, after having heard "Thick as Thieves", the first single from their sophomore album, Anchors , I'll have to change their trajectory. No longer are they falling down a hill but shooting like a rocket straight into the stratosphere. Anchors was recorded this summer in the band's [...]
Sault Ste Marie by way of Ottawa indie folk rock band Kalle Mattson made quite the impression on me with their 2009 debut. They reaffirmed that by putting on one of my favorite performances at this year's Canadian Music Fest. On March 22nd Kalle Mattson will return with their sophomore album Anchors. To give you a taste, the band have released the first single "Thick As Thieves". All you have
It was back in November when I first brought Sault Ste. Marie's Kalle Mattson to your attention, full of youthful exuberance and spontaneity. Their album Whisper Bee was first made available around this time last year, and to mark the anniversary, the band are about to embark on a pretty extensive Canadian Tour. It all kicks off tomorrow when they play their hometown with Said The Whale , and then takes them across Ontario, Quebec, the Maritimes, and then back through southern Ontario, ending where they started with a [...]
I've decided to take a different tact for this year's Canadian Music Fest. I'm getting too old to run to three or four clubs in a night. So I'm going to pick one (max. 2) venues an evening and check out the entire bill. For opening night Wednesday it was the line-up at the cozy Central that got my attention. Kalle Mattson You almost want the bar to card this Sault Ste Marie quartet. I was
