Winning America: CBC Radio 3's first documentary premieres Jul. 23

What does it take for a Canadian indie band to make it in the States? That's the topic addressed by Winning America, the first documentary produced by CBC Radio 3. Airing on CBC TV BC (only, unfortunately) on Sat., Jul. 23, it follows the ups and downs (including the now famous "Jacked in the Sac" and mustard incidents) of Vancouver band Said the Whale as they look for the elusive recipe to success in the U.S.. hoping to leave their day jobs behind and devote themselves to music full-time. We had the distinct pleasure of viewing the documentary at a screening this past weekend. Directed by Brent Hodge, the documentary is funny, poignant and has a message for any band, anywhere, hoping to beat the odds and make it big.

Said the Whale Live Performance Video:

"To the people who stole my Les Paul..."

This is a moment that makes blood boil, evokes anger and sympathy, and makes you just shake your head. Stealing musical instruments? We don't care if you're stealing from Alex Lifeson, Alex Chilton or Alex Wright, how can you take the very tool that allows this artist to do his job, raise a family and provide this planet with wonderful music? You will never sell what you stole for a good price because of the many thousands of us that are watching. You will never play it in public, and the fact that you stole this makes us think you do not have the talent to play in public. Do the right thing and return it, NO QUESTIONS ASKED.

Photos of the Les Paul are at the bottom of the craigslist post.
