She & Him Summer Tour 2008-07-11 12:34:14 Will Ferrell’s doe-eyed love interest in Elf dusted off her home demos and collaborated with M. Ward to create Volume One, a collection of romantic country croons released in March of this year on Merge Records. Zooey Deschanel lends her rich silky voice to M. Ward’s charming guitar arrangements to produce [...] Read more:Summer
Ariel Pink’s Haunted Graffiti “Thanks Mama I’m Dead Tour” 2008 2008-07-10 14:33:50 Los Angeles-based avant-garde cult favorite Ariel
Pink is hitting the road with his band HauntedGraffiti
this summer. Known for going out of his way to sound under-produced, Pink’s twisted demo-like sound will be polished up and tightened for his live performances on tour.
Having made home recordings from an early [...] Read more:Thanks
The Muslims @ The Echo in Los Angeles 2008-07-09 23:45:18 Recently, I took a six week long hiatus from reality and ended up in California. (In case you’re wondering why LA shows are being posted in a Montreal magazine.) The Echo is a popular LA venue that showcases up and coming indie talent, so I went to check out The Muslims

It appears that the prize winners are solo acts (and close [...] Read more:Short

Akron/Family @ Castle Clinton 2008-07-29 10:01:05 Akron/Family
melted a characteristically tough New York crowd into sing-along surrender during their free outdoor show at CastleClinton
at Battery Park in New York on Thursday, July 24th. Striking the perfect balance between free-flowing creative expression and indulgent crowd-centrism, Akron/Family ignited the set with mellower folk-rock songs that gradually blazed into a full-fledged [...]

Takka Takka @ Piano’s in New York 2008-07-23 15:33:22 Takka Takka played a Tuesday residency show @ Piano’s in New York
last night. This Brooklyn-based indie rock quintet got their break after touring with Clap Your Hands Say Yeah in Fall 2006.
Their lyrics and melody are melancholy (listen to the eerie Silence), yet the hooky guitar and drums help strike the balance between sad [...]
If You Are Not Attending Pitchfork… 2008-07-17 23:24:21 You’re one lucky bastard. Not as lucky as people who will be at Chicago’s Union Park this weekend (like me), but lucky enough to be able to watch a majority of the sets webcast live. Here’s what the good people at Pitchfork arranged for this year:
“The other new tidbit [...]
You Held Your Cup In The Air And You Called It A Guitar 2008-08-10 23:31:57 Wolf Parade @ The Metropolis 03.08.2006
One of the main problems I had with Osheaga this year was that it had me conflicted between seeing Iggy Pop & The Stooges and Wolf Parade who were playing The Metropolis that same night. I choose Iggy as you might have read earlier this week. However, Iggy finished at [...] Read more:Guitar
Holy Fuck! Destroying Canadian Culture? 2008-08-08 14:32:06 Holy Fuck! What a rude, offensive name. Clearly, with a name like that, this group of Toronto-based ruffians doesn’t present the kind of image of Canadian
culture we would want to show the world. If they were called Oh Jeez!, however, that would be just fine.
This was pretty much the thinking behind the [...]
Kooky Soda 2008-08-07 12:55:28 UK-based The Kooks will play Club Soda on September 5th. Their sound is distinct Brit pop that reminds you a bit of The Smiths, a bit of The Kinks, and maybe The Rolling Stones (at least the scruffy hair).
Their second album Konk, released on April 14th, catapulted to the number one spot in the [...]
A Novel Affair Under the Big White Glowing Fruit 2008-08-06 10:47:25 Being a bit of a trendwhore and a lover of all things free, I couldn’t miss the chance to check out a showcase this month at the new Apple Store on St. Catherine street (for a list of the other showcases click here). So, I trekked up to watch a bit of fine imported [...] Read more:Affair

I’m A Runaway Son Of The Nuclear A-Bomb 2008-08-04 23:41:51 Iggy Pop & The Stooges @ Osheaga
I arrived late into the afternoon for Osheaga Sunday. Sadly I missed Spiritualized (who I heard killed it) and Plants and Animals. I did get there in time to see Sharon Jones and The Dap Kings set. Sharon makes captivating a crowd look so easy and musically her band [...] Read more:Runaway

Beck Coming To Montreal 2008-08-04 12:30:25 Beck is on tour in support of his latest release Modern Guilt, and will be making a stop in Montreal
on October 6th @ Theatre St Denis. Shelling out $59.50 to see the world’s most talented Scientologist may be a guilty pleasure, but it beats being “the hurtling of loose bricks.” Read more about [...]
