Believe it or not, Mad Mackerel has been around for more than five years now. During that time we’ve posted more than 4,000 times, and offered more than 5,000 songs for your listening pleasure. And more than three quarters of a million people have paid MM a visit during our lifetime on Google’s (godawful) blogspot and since April 2010 on WordPress. We asked some of the regular MM contributors to give us their top twenty songs since MM first went live and we’re also going to give you one big mega-listing shortly, first up was Dr Roddy [...]

Monty and the Puma Fruits have been staples of the Brighton music scene for the past several years. The British collective are known throughout the area for their amiable folk-pop fixings, which include everything from old-fashioned string and harmonica adornments to jazz-influenced horns. The variety of instrumentation on their tracks stems from frequent collaboration with artists of all sorts, from improv-jazz collective Tysarc to acoustic specialists Lazer Horse. It's all led by the bellowing croon of singer and guitarist Monty Ochocki. Monty and the Puma Fruits' first release, Damgate Farm , is a three-track EP that [...]

James Minchin Yesterday was one of those wonderful inbox-bursting days of press releases that, rather than having to try to figure out what to write about for a post, I had to choose what to save for later. Today we'll cover all the concert announcements that will be bringing acts from near and far through town in the next few months. We'll start with California's goth-garage rockers Black Rebel Motorcycle Club because, well, they haven't been here since Spring 2010 and they give good - or at least smoky - photo. The details of [...]

Here is the playlist: Timber Timbre - Bad Ritual as a intro Luke Lalonde - Undone Jenna Tenn-Yuk - You Don't Know Me/Freedom Live in the studio Nina Simone - My Baby Just Cares For Me [...]
On the second night (September 7th) of the Ottawa Folk Festival . I decided to see "my favorite" artist Timber Timbre . The show took place at the Tartan Homes stage. It's been awhile that Timber Timbre has played in Ottawa. There was alot of young and hip people wanting to hear his blend of indie folk and blues mixed in with that eerie dark, twisted and spooky lyrical music. Surprised it was just Taylor on stage this time [...]
Frank Yang So as I mentioned in passing last week , I spent the Labour Day long weekend up in Rouyn-Noranda, Québec, attending the Festival de musique émergente en Abitibi-Témiscamingue , henceforth referred to as FME. It's okay if neither the where or the what don't mean much to you - they didn't mean much to me before I agreed to attend. Getting up to speed requires a little geography and history, so if you're sitting comfortably, then we'll begin. Wikipedia can give you the vitals, but basically Rouyn-Noranda is a [...]

En los últimos años ha habido un boom de bandas independientes en México, en buena medida provocado por el surgimiento de sitios de concierto que han atraído no sólo a propuestas del extranjero sino a mucho talento del país. Entre los grupos relativamente nuevos que han aprovechado esta movida está Torreblanca , grupo lidereado por Juan Manuel Torreblanca que el pasado jueves 14 de junio presentó, ante un lleno absoluto en el Lunario del Auditorio Nacional, su primer larga duración Bella Época . Con puntualidad inglesa, las puertas [...]

Rarely I ever step into Hull/Gatineau for a show. But I really wanted to attend this show that took place at Le Petit Chicago on June 9, 2012. Playing at the show were: Ferriswheel Avec Pas D'Casque For those not familiar, Ferriswheel is a band from Montreal/Gatineau and they play instrumental music on [...]
Photo Credit: Dominick Mastrangelo via Brooklyn Vegan “We brought some friends with us tonight,” Ms. Leslie Feist cooed from the mammoth stage at Radio City Music Hall on Saturday night. She was referring to the full orchestra arranged behind her, but the statement also applied to the roughly 5,900 eager fans in the audience who she made a point of befriending. Feist (@feistmusic), without a trace of ego, wasted no time in dissolving the ‘fourth wall’ separating the audience from the performers. She paused between songs [...]
Estamos ya apróximandonos a la mitad del año y con ella llegan más confirmaciones de conciertos. Ahora tenemos la presentación de Bella Época , el primer álbum de la banda mexicana Torreblanca , que será presentado de manera oficial el próximo 14 de junio en el Lunario del Audtiorio Nacional de la capital mexicana. Sin embargo, esta no será una presentación cualquiera, pues el grupo tendrá como invitados de lujo ni más ni menos que a Timber Timbre , uno de nuestros grupos favoritos del año pasado gracias al lanzamiento de Creep [...]
Date 4/26/12 Location Stubbs Doors 7pm Tickets SOLD OUT! It seems crazy that Feist has grown to this insane amount of popularity after humble begins in Broken Social Scene. I can't say I'm a huge fan of all of her material, but she can certainly write her fair share of catchy pop tunes that appease the masses. The lovely lady [...]
