Ida No , one half of italo-disco act Glass Candy , was exhausted mentally, emotionally and spiritually after Glass Candy 's show, yet she was still gracious enough to chat with us in the dingy backroom at Richard's On Richards. Collapsed on some steps, she sipped from a 4-litre jug of water to re-hydrate as the crew tore down the stage. Most bands never want to do interviews after [...]
Kid Sister is a self-described "good girl" from the Midwest, who got into the rap game with some help of her kid brother Josh from Flosstradamus . AllMusic.com describes Kid Sister as "a tongue-in-cheek throwback to the first golden age of hip-hop, when it seemed like anyone, even your kid sister, could have a hit." And her skills [...]
The Mobius Band make a very accessible of e lectronic-indie rock hybrid . I think a Details magazine music critic described them best, by saying the guys are "rewriting pop songs through washes of electronica, furious shoegaze guitar, and Krautrock repetition, this Brooklyn-by-way-of-Shutesbury- Mass trio have made an album every bit as endlessly playable as their moniker would indicate." The band's unappreciated album Heaven is the perfect music for the latest critically-acclaimed [...]
Dan Snaith is one of Canada's favourite sons. He makes electronic music strongly influenced by the Brian Wilson's Beach Boys sound. A few years ago, most people knew him as Manitoba. But a strange lawsuit put an end to that. Snaith is tired of talking about the whole ordeal in interviews, so I avoided the subject. However, it is an interesting story, so I lifted it form exclaim! magazine below. From exclaim! magazine... When electronic psych-pop wizard Dan Snaith was greeted by an [...]
Lucas Silveira, lead singer of The Cliks , has said, "rock is the best place to be who you are." Rock has a long tradition of gender exploration from Bowie to Freddie Mercury to 80s metal bands. Lucas himself is one of the most visible transgendered persons (female to male) in the music industry. That said, the Cliks are a straight up rock band and they have have done a killer cover of Justin [...]
Say Hi! are the band formerly known as Say Hi To Your Mom . SHTYM's last record Impeccable Blahs was an indie rock album all about vampires—it even had a song dedicated to the Buffy the Vampire Slayer universe "Angels and Darlas." Say Hi! have traded the pop culture obsessions for songs about girls who can beat you at Pac-Man. My favorite song on their new record, [...]
Most know Jeffrey Lewis as a mainstay of New York's notorious anti-folk scene. Others know him because he is signed to the UK's legendary Rough Trade label. Lewis got started with Rough Trade by doing comic book artwork for Moldy Peaches albums—and his music career took off from there. And this is where Jeffrey Lewis is unique. He would much rather be holed up in his New York apartment drawing [...]
