Basia Bulat I guess it’s comforting for me to know that Canada is not having a shortage of songbirds by any means (case and point, please see Emily Haines, Feist, and on and on). I don’t like using old skool singer/musicians to make comparisons, but I can’t think of anybody else. Basia’s voice has a…
Tussle Old Curtis Street Bar 05-01-07 I had an interesting conversation with a buddy of mine while at this show about how he would classify Tussle . In my mind, I had no frame of reference, but to kind of compare them to Out Hud, but not really. He tells me, “Dude, it’s 8bit nerd…

Junior Boys Hi-Dive 05-01-07 What a difference a couple of months make. Last time the Junior Boys were in town, I felt that their performance lacked excitement, inspiration, and motivation. Fast forward a couple of months, Coachella, and voila, instant charisma. The guys had a blast on stage, the crowd was loving every minute of…

San Serac Hi-Dive 05-01-07 I saw a couple of shows last night, all being good of course, but this one stood out as the most impressive. Several reasons, I’ve never heard of this guy, he embodies everything good and bad about 80’s music. Cheesy sax riff samples, narcissistic dancing, one-man show, all those things created…

::Tonight Tonight:: So much going on tonight, take your pick, but I’m going to try and make it to at least two of the shows. Rodrigo and Gabriela at the Ogden is SOLD OUT. But, def, at least check out one. Tussle is at Old Curtis St Tavern and Junior Boys will be making their…

Konono N#1 Talk about an instant party . Everytime I listen to this, I feel as if I were in Brazil for Carnival. It’s that major. They have just recently released a live digital 2 song EP (it’s like 40 mins. long) to coincide with their upcoming tour as openers for Bjork. They also appear…
