There are many similarities between seeing a band and making love. The first time with someone new is always filled with anticipation, uncertainty and intrigue. If you're lucky it turns out pretty great. But with a repeat performance, the parallels become even more poignant. Sometimes you are more disappointed than you were the first time. Often as one matures, there is slow improvement as skills progress; and rarely, like Thursday night with the Rural Alberta Advantage , it's like seeing someone you're completely in love with after being apart for a while. You know that [...]

Didn't get to post these photos because I got too busy covering at Ottawa Fashion Week 2011 S/S Collection 2012 . It was a Toronto/Burlington kind of show at Cafe Dekcuf on September 30, 2011. Due to the lateness from the Fashion show . Got there in time for the last two songs from The Paint Movement . They put on a great set! [...]
In the words of our old pal O'Shea Jackson: Once again it's on . The 2011 Halifax Pop Explosion begins today , and with an openning day lineup that is bigger than ever, Halifax's biggest annual music event is starting it's 19th year with a vengenace. Of course, in true hill-ian fashion, we're both busier than ever as we greet this year's festivities, and as such you likely won't find us out & about until Thursday night, but rest assured we'll HPX like the old-ass champs we are once [...]

by teepoo I've already mentioned The Paint Movement a couple of times. Their latest LP is full of earwormy tunes and smooth saxophone licks. Take a listen to one of my favourites. If you're a Broken Social Scene fan, you'd probably dig this. The Paint Movement- Is It True? WEBSITE

by teepoo Here's the first single off The Paint Movement 's new LP that was released August 16th. Young Lights is an upbeat track with pretty lush instrumentation done in almost a minimalistic way. There's a lot of little elements in this indie-pop tune but nothing is overdone, perfect perfection. The Paint Movement- Young Lights Check out the video at AUX TV . Artsy photo of finger-painting. Quite appropriate for the name of the [...]
(photo: Alex Cairncross) I'm a bit of a mess these day. I've had my house up for sale this summer, and was doing a number of renovation jobs around the place in hopes of making it more appealing to perspective buyers, one of which included cleaning up (i.e. hiding) the stacks and stacks of CDs that have accumulated around here. So now, while the house looks immaculate (so good that I'm not sure I want to move), I can't find a lot of the music that I was saving to review this summer, like [...]
Photograph by Sabrina Diemert Toronto's North by Northeast - or NXNE - is the younger cousin and orienteering opposite of the behemoth Austin music extravaganza South by Southwest. Over its 17 years, the festival has swollen to 7 days of concerts (ranging from cozy church acoustic sets to sprawling punk moshing at Yonge and Dundas Square), films (mostly music-centric documentaries, including this year's highly touted Better Than Something: Jay Reatard ) and interactive conferences (if you were a musician and could get advice from Brian Wilson, wouldn't you?). As with any event attempting to [...]

vieles darf so unaufgeregt klingen, wie die biografischen details von the paint movement . der sechser aus mississauga, toronto spielte anfang 2011 sein neues album ein. hierzu begab die band sich in eine kleine stadt im staate ontario und arbeitete gemeinsam mit david newfeld (broken social scene, aposte of hustle) in einer zu einem studio umgebauten kirche. ab und an düste man wieder heimwärts, übers wochenende, um sich alsbald wieder der arbeit zu übergeben. gänzlich unaufgeregt, ohne die große rockstarattitüde, ohne aufhebens. einziger aufmerker während dieser zeit war das fehlen jeglichen auftritts, so dass [...]
![[NXNE] The Paint Movement Live at the Rivoli- June 15, 2011](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3530584_lg.jpg)
by teepoo I already sort of concert reviewed them for this night in another post because I got excited about discovering a new band I've never heard of that I thoroughly enjoyed. Not only are they talented musicians, but they are super nice people. They even jumped on the stage on Yukon Blonde's set for an awesome epic duo! Full gallery after the jump [...]

by teepoo Wow, NXNE has been awesome so far. I'm volunteering as door person during the festival but I have to say that I am so lucky to be placed at the Rivoli, because boy did they have some great acts play yesterday! The next few days look like they will be just as great. Here's a band I only learned of yesterday. Rivoli's a small venue and they're a bigger band but it made it oh the more awesome since there are two saxophone players. They rocked [...]
Toronto - It's that time of year again. North By Northeast is once again upon us. You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll wait in line for a band that plays the cities five times a year and then at the end, you'll look around at all your fellow music friends and realize that yes, this is the life. It's been a few days since I've returned from the Old World and I guess I now have to focus on the future instead of the past. Every site does NXNE previews, so we've decided to do the same, only we [...]

Photos from the Toronto band The Paint Movement on January 22, 2011. They opened up for Paramedics' EP release show (who I didn't get to see). The last time I saw The Paint Movement was in 2009 and surely has more members from before. [...]
Ok, so I'm really, really late coming to this CD. My bad. I mean it. But I'm glad that I didn't let this little gem slip away unnoticed. It's rather a great little album as many of my fellow bloggers can attest. TPM got a lot of good reviews last year when this debut was released. And it's really rather astonishing that this is a debut album rather than the third or fourth. The album is self-assured and confident. These songs have a depth and sophistication that is missing on [...]
Well, I'm happy to say that 2009 was a significantly better year for me that 2008 was. Although I managed to say away from really bad news for the most part, I did have to step up my work schedule quite a bit for mildly unfortunate reasons, which meant that the opportunities to take part in this here blogging hobby of mine had to suffer, just a little bit. Whenever I did find a moment to post something, there was usually a belated show review that I had to get to, which meant that I didn't get a chance [...]
Just over a year ago, I posted a cheesy US Magazine-styled list of the ten biggest rock stars in the city, and (relatively) surrounding area. It wasn't meant to be taken too seriously, since such a list would mean that I was excluding hundreds of other worthy contenders, since our city and (relatively) surrounding area is teeming with them. It was also kind of a spur of the moment thing that was initially intended to be sort of a one-off thing. But I've come to realize that people (especially rock stars) love to see themselves on lists. So [...]
