I posted something from the talented and beautiful Amanda Zelina (aka The Coppertone) not too long ago, but damn it, I want everyone to love blues as much as I do. So check it, here's a video of Amanda and another MTIB vet, Dallas Green (aka City and Colour), doing a wonderful version of "When I Lay My Burden Down". It's an American spiritual song that has been adapted many times over the years, but in this case I believe they are covering Mississippi Fred McDowell's amazing version. Utterly fantastic. The raw emotion of blues music is what draws me [...]
Rock chick, The Coppertone have released a video for their track Black Water .
Mark this down on your calendar, folks - July 14, 2012 at Downsview Park! I am still in awe with the stellar line-up of the 17 confirmed acts.

This past year has been a whirlwind for The Sheepdogs - having just [...]
The Coppertone If you're a fan of blues rock, particularly female-fronted acts, then you will simply have to come down to the Horseshoe Tavern tonight as two of Toronto's finest blues rock bands Bella Clava and The Coppertone perform. Also on the bill will be Monster Truck and Indian Handcrafts. Have a listen to some of The Coppertone's fine work here: Hymns for the Hollow by BedlamMGT

![[Album Review/Listen] – Hellogoodbye – "Would It Kill You?"](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3612452_lg.jpg)
Tweet We at LBYB try our very best to be arbiters of quality music... so I'm not surprised if you're scratching your head at the appearance of a Hellogoodbye album on this blog. It's true, they got their start making horrible bubblegum pop on a laptop in somebody's living room. It used to be that the band's only fans were white Californian girls under the age of 16, or other people who wished they were white Californian girls under the age of 16. Not true anymore. "Would It [...]

by teepoo Amanda Zelina and her band the Coppertone have been quite the buzz in the Canadian music industry, including appearances at this year's NXNE. I loved her album Hidden Dreams , this number comes off the album she released in May called Hymns for the Hollow . Fall in love with her passionate bluesy rock. The Coppertone- I Know the Dead MYSPACE | WEBSITE
Holy Moley! The crowd was going wild for The Coppertone at El Mocambo Saturday night of NXNE. I was that awkward asian girl trying to enjoy the show behind some middle-aged woman that kept on sexy dancing to the sounds of The Coppertone. When people dance, are they not spatial aware of their surroundings? Anyhow, this is the second time I've seen The Coppertone and I'm still blown away by the voice that comes out of front-woman, Amanda Zelina. The Coppertone recently released their Hymns for the Hollow EP through Dine Alone Records. If you're a fan of [...]

![[NXNE] The Coppertone Live at the SOCAN/BMI Party @ Tattoo Rock Parlour- June 18th, 2011](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3541175_lg.jpg)
by teepoo I started my Saturday by heading to the SOCAN/BMI party. There was a ton of free food and friendly people around. I wish there was a larger turnout since the acts that they had lined up here were pretty awesome. I didn't find out about this until last minute so maybe it wasn't advertised much to the general public. The first up was The Coppertone who in real life looks like a prettier version of Lindsay Lohan. She performed (shortened) [...]
Oh My!! NXNE is THIS week. I am so excited for all the music that's going to be taking over the city, but at the same time, I know I'm going to be really sleep deprived. Anyhow, here's my tentative schedule for NXNE; I have made note that some of the set times overlap which means I still have to commit to one set over another. WEDNESDAY JUNE 15TH NEVADO RECORDS @ NXNE 8PM - LOOM @ The Rivoli 9PM - Megan Bonnell @ The [...]
You guys like The Black Keys right? I thought so. Well imagine this... What if Adele was belting out the lyrics over your favorite rockin' Dan Auerbach guitar riff? Sounds super awesome right? OK, now stop imagining and play the song below. The Coppertone is Amanda Zelina, and holy crap does she rock my face off. This is the most hard-hitting, unabashedly bluesy sound I've heard since stumbling

by teepoo I've fallen in love with The Coppertone's edginess since I first came across their album Hidden Dreams . It was my most played for a quite some time and for some strange reason I kept thinking I had already blogged about it, but I didn't so here it is! Well, I'm happy to announce that they've been signed to Dine Alone . Congratulations to them! Amanda Zelina edgy rock-blues attitude throughout the album is just so badass it's addictive and infectious. Looks like she'll [...]

Another week's gone. Sadly, so has another weekend. So let's bury our heads in the sand at the prospect of another week of work and listen to some music. Here's what I've been listening to over the last seven days... To start things off, here's a new song from Animal Farm. It's got a great chilled, old school jazzy vibe and a cool bassline. It's pretty conscientious lyrically (well, it's not rapping about guns and dolla) and the chorus is fly. Oh, it also features Talib Kweli. Animal Farm - Test Of [...]
This summer compilation from the good people at Night People Records can do no wrong. Label head Shawn Reed has always been a fantastic cobbler of digital samplers (See Cola Heavy Nights) but this latest crop of upcoming releases from the Iowa City label is its greatest yet.
