When Chris Connelly from Edmonton's Hot Panda answered my call, he had no idea he was supposed to be doing an interview. Hot Panda's tour van had just just died and he was putting the license plate on their new van. Chris didn't even flinch when I suggested we play a little game of kill, fuck or marry with his fellow Mint Records stars Shane (from The Awkward Stage ), Paul from [...]

Up today is some sublime lo-fi indie-rock/pop, care of Vancouver-based The Awkward Stage . Consisting of frontman Shane Nelken, Tygh Runyan (Beans) on guitar, Tony Koelwyn (Bossanova) on drums, and Chris Mitchell who plays with the Vancouver Symphony on trumpet and keyboards, The Awkward Stage have two full-length releases to their name since forming in 2006. Heaven Is For Easy Girls can be found on the band's 2006 debut LP of the same name, released via Vancouver-based independent record label Mint Records . The band followed up on the album with the 2008 effort Slimming [...]

(C. Schultz) I'm not one to really get into the Christmas spirit, I will admit. Up until last year, I didn't even have a tree to put up in my house (too much hassle decorating and un-decorating a few weeks later), and I try and keep any gift giving simple, and significant (read: I don't by the paperboy anything). I appreciate the holdiay season, don't get me wrong, and i respect its religiius significance, and the time spent with family, but all the hype and hoopla leaves me empty. When I do get in [...]

Trevor Waurechen I love it when the alliteration takes care of itself. Last month went into the history books as being the first time on record that Toronto received no snow in November. No such luck for December, as the first major storm of the year is bearing down on us today... so I guess it's time to bust out the winter coat and boots, start thinking about buying gifts for people and accept that for the next three weeks or so, it's going to be Christmas music anywhere and everywhere I go.

That's right folks, the snow is falling here in Hali and the eggnog is getting chilled. Normally that means a downturn in the blogconomy, but it also means lots of Christmas cheer and countless holiday cover songs. While those songs are fun and get us smiling, it's also a terrific chance to start lending a hand. to be honest, I can't think of a better cause than helping the homeless and the hungry, so I am happy as a kid on Christmas morning to let you know about a special charity record featuring a ton of talent. The [...]

Slimming Mirrors, Flattering Lights , from The Awkward Stage, came out in the summer, but I never got to jear it until a few weeks ago. I should've heard it sooner, but don't mind that I didn't. It's not a credit to the quality, because the record is amazingly well-written considering the equally crafted Heaven is for Easy Girls only came two years ago. Sure, you expect a new album in two years, but this good? I admit, I didn't think it would happen. I'm officially impressed by Shane Nelken. The record captures selfishness, envy, and [...]
(photo: Mark Maryanovich) The Awkward Stage first won my heart with their the awesome debut album, Heaven Is For Easy Girls in 2006, and even though I didn't give it a lot of blog love. this year's follow-up, Slimming Mirrors, Flattering Lights was definitely a worthy successor. Shane Nelken made the most of his time in A. C. Newman's band, learning the delicate intricacies of crafting the perfect pop song, and I'm sorry to say that I mistakenly left "Animé Eyes" [...]

The third annual Transmission Festival . Yeah! Transmission is my favourite music festival. It's a place to see some really excellent breaking bands under the best possible circumstances.
