Norman Wong Considering their fanbases intersect pretty heavily, it wouldn't have been unreasonable to think that Stars' Autumn jaunt supporting Metric across Canada's finest arenas would constitute the bulk of their touring in support of their latest effort The North . Not unreasonable, but also incorrect. Following forays to Europe and Australasia this Winter, Stars will embark on another transcontinental tour in the Spring with certain cities hosting a two-night stand that the band promise will be more than just repeated sets. They've dubbed these shows "Evenings [...]
As well as recording the track "Little Ones" for this years Ho! Ho! Ho! Canada compilation , Kathryn Calder has decided to go one step further, creating a video to support Plan Canada's ' Because I Am A Girl ' Campaign. Calder said: "I've put together this little video made up entirely of photos that fans, family and friends have sent in of their Christmases past. I've decided to also make it for Plan Canada's 'Because I Am A Girl' campaign in honour [...]
Facebook Custom dictates that for tenth anniversaries, the traditional gift is something made from tin and the modern equivalent is aluminum. Or diamond. How on earth do you get from tin to diamond? Happily, Toronto's Paper Bag Records pays no attention to such convention and to mark their tenth year of releasing great music from both Canada and abroad, they've opted to put together three nights of shows at The Great Hall from September 27 to 29 and featuring the best of their current roster as well as a surprise and welcome return [...]
It is that time again. A time when Canadian music gets pushed to the forefront. A time when music fans all across the nation discuss the merits of bands and albums. There'll be fights. Maybe even a stabbing or two, but it's all in good fun because the Polaris Short List is about to be announced. For those not in the know, the Polaris Music Prize is a prize that "celebrates and rewards creativity and diversity in Canadian recorded music." (stolen from the site directly). It's a fairly big [...]
Frank Yang There's a point in the arc of the breakout band where long-time fans who've supported and encouraged the artist through those early days find themselves in the odd position of rubbing elbows not with the faithful but newbs and tourists, interested not in hearing the songs that soundtracked crucial points in their life but that one tune they heard on the radio. For fans of Vancouver duo Japandroids , that time has come and for those in Toronto, that specific moment was Saturday night where on the strength of their second album [...]
I guess the most notable thing about Kathryn Calder is that she pinch hit for Neko Case as replacement vocalist in The New Pornographers when the latter left that acclaimed indie pop powerhouse collective to pursue a solo career. But almost as notable is that this record was the second of two Calder recorded in her living room within a one year period while caring for her terminally ill mother. I know the amount of studio & outboard effects and recording & processing power most laptops pack nowadays is pretty stupendous [...]
Derrick Belcham It figures that the first year that I would have been able to actually attend the long-list unveiling for the Polaris Music Prize , they up and move it from its usual home atop the Drake clear across the country to give Vancouver a taste of what the grand unveiling of the 40 albums selected as the top musical achievements in Canada over the past 12 months is like. But that's alright because as it turns out, this was also the first year that I don't need to make any changes to [...]
The Bard of Montreal . The community of Canadian music is an amazing thing. Here, twenty-five artists signed up to donate time, recording studios and effort to pay tribute to one of Canada's greatest poets. Leonard Cohen's Old Ideas , a record so powerful and alive you start to wonder if Mr. Cohen will ever run out of steam, is the type of record that connects and inspires. It should receive awards - those as indie as the Polaris and those are far reaching as the Junos. Unfortunately, we don't have the means or deep pockets (and no Christmas [...]
I love, love, love The New Pornographers , but it wasn't until today that I discovered the solo recordings of keyboardist/vocalist, Kathryn Calder . (thank you dinner party download !) Calder released her first album back in 2010. A deeply personal record, Are you my Mother? was largely born through two years of Kathryn caring for her terminally ill mother. [...]
Facebook Nestled amidst some concert announcements in a post last week were a couple of odd one-offs for No Joy and PS I Love You which were not part of any announced tour or timely promotional cycle. It didn't occur to me to ask why, but just a little bit of thought would have made the answer obvious - Wavelength . The dates of their shows corresponded to the four-day weekend of the Toronto music series' twelfth anniversary festival, and though neither of those acts is properly local - they [...]
