If you're out of the loop on why Wavelength is such an important institution in this city, there's plenty of stuff you can read. Or you can just watch this: Holy Fuck is the headliner of the Thursday Wavelength show at Steam Whistle Brewing. Here are some videos that document Wavelengths past.

On December 23rd, the Washington D.C. area received 16 inches of snow, making it the sixth largest snow storm the area had seen in recorded history. Shortly thereafter, I escaped to my home country of South Africa, where summer reigned supreme. I thought, perhaps, that D.C. had seen the worst of the bad weather, but upon my return I was greeted with quite the opposite. Since the New Year, we have been hammered. Last weekend, we toppled Christmas's record, with nearby areas reporting up to 3 feet of the cold, fluffy stuff. With another 10-20 inches predicted for [...]
The biggest bands in the world have a concept to promote their tour. U2 did Zoo TV and the 360 Tour , the Rolling Stones had A Bigger Bang ; so when Americana singer-songwriter Israel Nash Gripka and indie garage rockers The Fieros began planning their U.S. jaunt, they decided to be candid and "Sing For Their Supper." In March, the artists will set sail from New York City to the southern United States, stopping along the [...]
Recommended Show: TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 9, 2010 YEASAYER, JAVELIN, & CLASS ACTRESS @ MUSIC HALL OF WILLIAMSBURG 66 N 6th St Brooklyn, NY 11211 $18, 9PM I think this show may be sold out already (and with good reason). Three of the hippest bands around these days are filling out this bill. Undoubtedly, headliners Yeasayer are the big draw, but don't count out up and coming acts like Javelin and Class Actress from bringing a good crowd themselves. Nymph @ The Stone Mean Creek @ Maxwell's The [...]

Being a bit too young and certainly far out of the loop on such things, I'd never heard of Martha & the Muffins before this year. The Toronto new wave/pop-rock band formed in 1977, and never completely went away, though things had petered out in the early 1990s. Now, 18 years after their last release, original members Martha Johnson and Mark Gane are back with a new album, Delicate . On the weekend they, with help from Evelyne Datl , Brian Kobayakawa , and Hill Kourkoutis , put on two reunion shows at [...]
Every Wednesday this month Reg " Gentleman Reg " Vermue & his band are in residency at the Drake Hotel . The occasion? To celebrate their recently-released digital EP ( Heavy Head ), the 1-year anniversary of the release of Jet Black , and to cap off a year of heavy touring. Last week's kick-off show featured two strong local acts, Kite Hill and Hooded Fang. I was there. Kite Hill was up first, offering up orchestral pop, but of the tuneful rather than bizarre variety. The band is a project of keyboardist [...]
Paramount Pictures presents Shutter Island , the latest film from Oscar-winning director Martin Scorsese . Premiering February 19, 2010 in theatres nationwide, the suspense thriller stars Leonardo DiCaprio, Mark Ruffalo, Ben Kingsley , and Michelle Williams . Laeta Kalogridis wrote the screenplay based on the novel by Dennis Lehane . Produced by Robbie Robertson , the film's haunting double-disc soundtrack features a stunning array of modern classical music. Buy DVDs, Music: [...]
The first update of 2010 (and the first in more than 3 months!) is two days late, partly due to a computer virus, but better late than never! I'd almost forgotten how to write these. The website hasn't been entirely fallow since November; I've posted Best of 2009 posts on "music albums" and " Summerworks shows" , with "Fringe shows" coming up soon, and "comedy shows" and "music singles" not far behind. But the core of the site - the updates - well, it's good to have one of those up again, and I'm going to try to [...]
It's a pity I didn't write more details on some of my recordings. Because this one I'm a bit vague on. Although officially released as a b-side to The Verve 's career defining single 'Bitter Sweet Symphony' , I'm pretty sure this session version of 'So Sister' was performed during the promotion for their previous album 'A Northern Soul' . I'm guessing though because like I say, my scribblings on the cassette go no further than song title and performer name. Detailing dates was clearly not something I had on my mind at [...]
Filed under: Twisted Tales Ira Louvin had a problem. "If he came here tonight," his brother and erstwhile singing partner Charlie once told the New York Times, "chances are 9 to 1 that he'd drink so much he couldn't perform." When the Louvin Brothers did perform together, however, they set the standard for close-harmony-style singing. Elected to the Country Music Hall of Fame in 2001, their songs have been covered by Emmylou Harris and Elvis Costello , and they were an inspiration for [...]
Ava Luna - Cement Lunch I hope you remember Ava Luna . Their synth punk gospel doo wop is not a sound you could easily forget. And if you did forget, you clearly weren't paying enough attention in the first place. Anyway, after shaking things up a little bit on the blogs and stuff, they're back with another sweetly handmade CD-R, the Services EP . I have good news on all fronts about this one [...]
photo by Michael Ligon January's gone and my February concert schedule's looks busy but my March schedule looks even busier not even counting this year's Canadian Music Week . So while precious little of the actual CMW(or more accurately, Canadian Musicfest ) schedule has actually been announced yet, Toronto promoter has already announced his NeXT-at-CMW shows running March 11, 12, 13 at The Velvet Underground, The Silver Dollar and The Comfort Zone. Mr. Burke's never been shy about reminding us how he used to run his own mini-festival AGAINST CMW but has [...]
I've been listening to Spirit Guides on and off on my iPod. It was ranked #22 of best Canadian albums of 2009 . Finally have a chance to do a review on this album. After seeing Evening Hymns performance at the Black Sheep Inn on November 27, 2009 . Its looking to be a good 2010 for Evening Hymns, one being listed on CBC's Top 10 Bands Destined to Break in 2010 . Looking up on some research about the album Spirit Guides. Jonas Bonnetta makes [...]
Patty Griffin has always had the voice of an angel. Whether accompanied by the simple strums of an acoustic guitar as on her debut album Living with Ghosts or soaring over the complex arrangements of her more richly produced later catalogue, her voice has always been the defining element of her sound. And it's always been heavenly. It's only fitting now that Patty is lending her voice to a collection of gospel and gospel inspired tunes on her new CD, Downtown Church. For this album, Patty teamed with ultra talented Buddy [...]
Wavelengths 500 approaches
Toronto - Starting on Wednesday, local concert series Wavelength 's will be celebrating their 10th year in existence (and 500th show) with a bang. There will be five shows spanning five nights featuring a ton of good local indie talents. In the past decade, this concert series has played host to a ton of local bands, including BSS, Constantines and probably 90% of the roster on CBC Radio 3. It's a concert series I've only recently gotten into, and kinda think that I should have gone more in the past. This series of shows will also mark the end [...]

2/6 Bowerbirds @ The Mohawk
We all braved the cold winter night for a chance to catch Bowerbirds and Julie Doiron Saturday night. Luckily, the wintery weather seemed suitable for the music, and with Lone Stars in hand, we caught a solid set from the North Carolina crew. Follow the jump for the full review. Julie Doiron was pleasantly surprising. For some reason, she recalls a more raucous Kimya Dawson . Her lyrics are as simplistic, [...]
Interview on SocialNarwhal.com
Gavin Castleton spent the good part of a decade playing keyboard, rapping, and singing with a band of musicians from the future. From 1995 to 2004, Gruvis Malt toured the US and released nine recordings before disbanding. Since then, Gavin Castleton has continued "futurocking," accumulating an impressive catalog of his own. His latest full-length album, Home, proves that he is still breaking the space/time continuum, as it takes listeners through a prog-pop odyssey far ahead of its time (read our review of Home here). The Social Narwhal recently sat down with Gavin Castleton...at incongruous times of the week...2,100 miles [...]
Shutter Island Soundtrack (produced by Robbie Robertson) - track listing
Album Review: Patty Griffin - Downtown Church
Patty Griffin holds the coveted title of being a songwriter's songwriter. Read interviews with contemporary musicians and songwriters and you hear Griffin referenced alongside Bob Dylan and Lucinda Williams as an artist who writes the kind of songs every artist envies. Innumerable artists have covered her songs in the studio or in concert. She's just that good. For her most recent studio effort, Downtown Church , Griffin mixes traditional gospel hymns with only two original tracks of her own. You might be skeptical of listening to what is essentially a religious covers album, especially when it [...]
