![The Jon Cohen Experimental – Behold [Review]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3087991_lg.jpg)
For those who follow the Montreal band The Dears. Feels like members who used to be in the band seem to leave and make their own band. You may have noticed an ex-member named Jon Cohen. He has his band called The Jon Cohen Experimental . The band released an album called "Behold". Its ten track of indie pop-rock experimentation sound. Don't forget that Jon Cohen Experimental will be playing Ottawa on Jan 6th with JF Robitaille and Loon Choir. For other cities across Canada and the [...]

I went a slightly different direction for 2008's songs list - there's some crossover with yesterday's albums list because my favorite three albums happened to have my favorite three songs of the year, but other than that I tried to spotlight 20 singles and album tracks by artists who didn't quite stand out enough across the board to crack the albums best-of. Get your left-field on after the jump and remember, the Rawkblog pledge drive ends this weekend - please give now ! 5. Hayden - "The Van [...]
Marcie Bolen of Silverghost @ Neutral:photo by Michael Ligon Forgoing the NXNE festivities of last Wednesday night(eg. The Courthouse, The Drake) I started out the festival the following night with a full night of shows planned although it was a last minute decision on my part to check out my first band of the night, Silverghost. Silverghost is a Detroit male-female duo consist of ex-Von Bondie guitarist/vocalist Marcie Bolen and keyboardist/vocalist Deleano Acevedo and were a terrific start to my NXNE. A last-minute decision based on the band's [...]
Het zijn weer drukke tijden voor de muziekliefhebbers. Zo krijgen we voor de zomerstop, of wat daar nog van over is, nog een flinke stroom nieuwe releases over ons heen. En bezoekt een groot aantal interessante en minder interessante acts ons land in de komende twee maanden. We hebben het hier al 'ns eerder gehad over Tara Jane O'Neil en Marah die komende zondag in het Utrechtse Db's te zien zijn. En dinsdag 12 mei treedt Angela Desvaux samen met haar band The Mighty Ship op in de bovenzaal van Paradiso. Dit [...]
Man. What a nice surprise. It's no secret we love Montreal based Angela Desveaux here on herohill. The Mighty Ship cracked our Top 20 last year and finding out she has a new 7" (with three additional downloads) fixing to come out is great news. For those only familiar with Desveaux's latest work, If Ever I Loved will expose a much more traditional, East Coast sound. The songs - the b-side ( Wedding Song ) to the vinyl and the last of the additional downloadable tracks ( Carolina Ways ) appeared (in [...]
concert review : Canadian Musicfest (part of Canadian Music Week ) in Toronto - March 12, 2009 2/3's of Rural Alberta Advantage @ Gladstone Hotel: photo by Michael Ligon Not much club hopping this night as after starting my night at Rancho Relaxo I parked it for the rest of the night at Eye Weekly's 3-way Throwdown over at Gladstone Hotel. I was spared the frigid temperatures for the most part, but on the other hand staying [...]
Ian West Canadian Music Week - sorry, Canadian Music fest , as the showcase component has now been renamed - is a tricky time for me, because as much as I'd like to take in as much of the shows on offer as possible, I need to be mindful of saving energy for the big show - SxSW - the following week. To this end, I tend to be very particular about what I choose to see during CMW/F, avoiding if I can bands I've seen or can easily [...]

Frank Yang If there's an advantage to writing about the same band for the third time in the span of a month, it's that rather than try and lay down some background, I can just point you here and here and voila - you're up to speed. If there's a disadvantage, it's completely running out of things to say. But I'll soldier on. Sunday night was the long-awaited album release party for Bruce Peninsula's debut A Mountain Is A Mouth and there [...]

Frank Yang Please understand, as much as I like them, I have no desire to make write-ups on Bruce Peninsula a weekly feature . However, their in-store performance at Soundscapes on Wednesday night to mark the release of A Mountain Is A Mouth merited a little more than cursory, "hey Bruce Peninsula played an in-store it was great let's see what else is going on". Typically, in-stores involve a minimal setup - say acoustic guitar and mic into a PA - and a handful of songs, [...]
Caleb Buyers Let's be honest, there's not a lot of reason for there to be a Carl Newman solo record. The man is the chief songwriter in The New Pornographers , an outfit that turns out material at a pretty decent rate all things considered, and it's not as though he has a metal jones to itch that wouldn't work in the context of the Pornographers - when he puts on the AC Newman hat, he's still the consummate popsmith. But the whys and wherefores are his business - for the rest of us, [...]
Frank Yang I try not to be too "rah rah home team" when it comes to music - if it's good, it's good wherever it's from - but sometimes I can't help but feel so proud of the stuff that's coming out of my own backyard. Case in point, Thursday night's lineup at Lee's Palace which, for my money, represented some of the very best new artists that Toronto/Ontario/Canada has to offer. The Acorn and Ohbijou alone made it a must-see, but the addition of The Rural Alberta Advantage as [...]
A gifted singer/songwriter, Angela Desveaux's music merges the simple emotional honesty and rich sonic landscape of classic country with the personal focus of contemporary folk and the roots-conscious attack of alt-country. Desveaux was born in Quebec just outside Montreal, but she spent much of her childhood on the island of Cape Breton in Nova Scotia. Cape Breton has a rich history of traditional folk music drawn from Irish and Spanish sources, and the island's distinctive fiddle music had a deep impact on Desveaux. Desveaux also grew up on a musical diet of classic country. When she was ten, Desveaux's family [...]
More is always better, especially when it comes to the Friday Mixtape. This week's edition is particularly jam-packed, a mix of music's best new singles and remixes as well as a few songs from some artists we strongly suggest you check in. Add in a few special treats, aka Of Montreal's rendition of "Smells Like Teen Spirit" (courtesy NYCTaper ) and this mixtape is rockin' and rollin'. NEW Singles: "Sure Enough" by Angela Desveaux "Toe Jam" by The BPA [...]
I know that everyone is gearing up for HPX and saving duckets for shows like The GZA , The Inbreds and some up and comers like Sports , but there is a pre-HPX show that is going to be terrific. What could be better than the Herohill Hearts Music showcases you ask???? Well, nothing, but if you want to whet your whistle for a week of rock I'll point out that Angela Desveaux & The Mighty Ship will be at Gus' and obviously, Mike Feuerstack will be opening up. Both [...]

Rye Rye & MIA - "Tic Toc" . Someone snuck into Versailles, stole all the dancing dames' dresses. They kept dancing. Someone snuck into my party, stole all the laughter. We kept hot-glancing. Someone snuck into my watch, stole all the gears & cogs. It kept ticking. Someone snuck into my week, stole all my favourite songs. Looks like I got a new one. Damn. [ Rye Rye MySpace ] Angela Desveaux and the Mighty Ship - "Shape You" . I've found this song hard to write about. Been trying for days. No analogies come springing. [...]
