Photo gallery of The Rural Alberta Advantage, Pepper Rabbit, The Loom at The Knitting Factory in Brooklyn, NY (March 12, 2011)
If more bands smiled as often and as sincerely as The Rural Alberta Advantage , more bands would have better performances. Then again, if more bands were as tight as RAA, they'd perform better, too. The three members lined up at the front of the stage--drummer not behind, but on the side--creating a sense of cohesion that furthered their unified, tight sound. As each of the three played their part, they alternated eye contact and smiles with the crowd and with each other. Each characteristically short song was introduced with a short backstory, (usually [...]
photos by Chris Gersbeck The Quad : I have to say, I've been to a bunch of shows here, and this is definitely one of the most engaged crowds I've seen. Nils : That's definitely good to hear. Paul : The people who come to our shows are super nice. The Quad : It seems like your fans are really nice, for lack of a [...]
What has four kids and sounds like O Brother Where Art Thou? Harlan Pepper ! Kinda. The band is four dudes who just got out of high school but who make country rock with a heavier emphasis on the country. And by country, we're talking rootsy. Like Gram Parsons and Buck Owens (that's their own reference, but it's apt). And if you're thinking that a group of young lads can't possibly sound so genuine, you're wrong. How the hell did these kids get so old so fast? Maybe it's 'cause they're Canadian? At the same [...]

After 2.5 years we've decided to bring our weekly Ella Wednesday party to a close. We're so proud to have brought out such amazing talent on a weekly basis. Please join us for a bittersweet celebration of two and a half years of great Wednesday nights with out-of-this-world talent and unforgettable friends and fond memories.
On Saturday I caught a spring training game between the Phillies and Pirates. One of my favorite parts of walking into Brighthouse Networks Field is the smell of peppers and onions. Since it is usually paraded alongside some huge meat pile like a Cheesesteak or Italian Sausage I don't get to enjoy this stalwart ballpark combination. Instead I have to mimic it at home. This time that meant Vegetarian Sausage Onion and Pepper Stromboli. Vegetarian Sausage, Pepper and Onion Stromboli [...]
Pepper Rabbit, a duo that crafts songs that are simultaneously rich and stripped down, has had a song featured on Skins, a soundtrack to a McDonald's commercial, and has toured with Passion Pit...

In just a few weeks, Consequence of Sound , along with 90% of the music industry, will touch down in Austin, TX for what may just be the best incarnation of South by Southwest. Everyone plans on being there this year. The Strokes? Bright Eyes? Duran Duran? Queens of the Stone Age? TV on the Radio? Foo Fighters? Now there's rumblings of a Kanye West appearance, not to mention the slight possibility of LCD Soundsystem? It's unreal. Only three months into 2011 and already we're apt to call it the festival of the year. Although we've already [...]

![Pepper Rabbit: Older Brother [mp3]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3244647_lg.jpg)
Pepper Rabbit broke through last year with a few pretty stellar EPs. Xander Singh and Luc Laurent, the force behind this exceptional band, are back with something new. It's called "Older Brother" and it can be found on their LP, Beauregard , released recently courtesy Kanine Records. "Older Brother", like many of the songs off the duo's EPs from last year, is light and playful with great indie pop hooks and harmony vocals in the vein of Michael Nau (Page France, Cotton Jones). Check out "Older [...]

![[Listen/Download] Harlan Pepper- Great Lakes](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3212298_lg.jpg)
by teepoo When I listen to Harlan Pepper all I can think to myself is how Canadian the sound is. They're four dudes straight out of high school, but they sound like they are veterans of this land. Their sound is a mixture of folk, country and blues with a youthlike playfulness and hook choruses. Their first album, Young and Old was released February 11th on Bandcamp and Maple Music . Harlan Pepper- Great Lakes [...]

Harlan Pepper es un cuarteto canadiense compuesto por Jimmy Hayes, Dan Edmonds, Thompson Wilson y Marlon Nicolle. Su primer disco "Young and Old" ha resultado vencedor en los premios The Hamilton Music Awards (HMA), en las categorías de mejor nuevo grupo/artista del año y mejor álbum folk del año. Se trata sin duda de un álbum que sorprende por su madurez, más si tenemos en cuenta la juventud de los componentes de la banda, recién salidos del Instituto. Tienen un sonido country-rock, genuinamente americano, en el que destaca especialmente una instrumentación muy [...]
These up and coming, deadly talented, barely post-pubescent, BC Dinner Jacket and Bunny Hug clad Canucks are Harlan Pepper - a band named after Christopher Guest's backwoods North Carolina bloodhound raising character in his 2000 movie "Best In Show." The band (Jimmy Hayes (guitar, pedal steel, harmonica), Dan Edmonds (banjo, keys, vocals), Thompson Wilson (bass, vocals), Marlon Nicolle (drums, vocals)) was formed by kids at Westdale High School in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. They're still hitting the homo milk and are not yet old enough to buy a two-six. Harlan Pepper has been called "[j]ust another Hamilton-based hillbilly boy [...]
