Show Alert: Moonface @ PJ's Lager House

Fri., Jul. 15
With Flow Child and Phantasmagoria

PJ's Lager House, Detroit

To say Spencer Krug's reputation precedes him is an understatement, or perhaps more accurately, an of-statement. Because "of Wolf Parade, Sunset Rubdown, Swan Lake, and Frog Eyes" ubiquitously follow his name wherever he goes. But with Moonface, as Krug notes, you get "Just plain half-old me, in any solo or collaborative projects I'm involved in from now until whenever." Pretty self-effacing for a guy deemed "arguably the most talented songwriter of this generation." You also get songs like "Fast Peter," off of Krug's latest release as Moonface, Organ Music, not Vibraphone like I'd Hoped.

Homing in on the Home County Folk Festival

London, Ont.
Fri., Jul. 15 - Sun., Jul. 17

N2DS2W, and another big group of CBC Radio 3 bloggers and friends, will be folkin' around in London this weekend for the 38th annual Home County Folk Festival (HCFF). An approximately two-hour drive from Detroit/Windsor, it's a gas-tank friendly, family-friendly,and definitely Canadian indie music-friendly getaway that's not too far away. Main Stage performers include Basia Bulat and Sarah Harmer (Friday) and Emm Gryner and Hawksley Workman (Saturday).

But as John Teeter, assistant artistic director and festival graphic designer for the HCFF, posted on the Radio 3 blog this morning, "Workshops are the jewel in the folk festival crown. Basically they have a theme and a grouping of artists of like mind and throw them on stage... And they can turn into really interesting versions of songs that you know and love." Especially when the performers include Dan Mangan, The Acorn, Royal Wood, Harlan Pepper plus some of the Main Stage headliners.

Three ways to find out the HCFF schedule:
> Go the 2011 Performers list and find the artist you are specifically interested in and click the [+] sign and see a bio as well as ALL the times that artist is performing.
> Or click on the Workshop schedule where all the performances are listed.
> Or, go to the main stage, evening concert schedule to see those performances.

Show Review: Sam Roberts Band heat up Detroit

Oh, the extremes we go to for a show. Last December, four of us-- and we mean an audience of four-- shivered inside the Vernors Room of the Crofoot to watch Rah Rah. Last month, we sweated inside a sold-out St. Andrews Hall, full of fans-- both human and inexplicably, motionless mechanical ones-- where the temperature easily topped 100F (40C).













The Sam Roberts Band (Montreal) didn't need any help heating up Detroit. They do a pretty good job on their own. Roberts' affection for the city, warts and all, is obvious and the fans (the human ones) return it, more than comparable well-attended shows we've seen in the Detroit area (Hot Hot Heat, Destroyer, New Pornographers).

Why? Roberts' catchy, straight-up rock 'n' roll definitely appeals to Motor City musical sensibilities and to Canadian fans and Juno voters as well; both his 2004 release, We Were Born In A Flame, and 2009's Love At The End Of The World won Rock Album of the Year. Live, the band delivers a performance full of crowd-pleasing hits as strong and sincere as Roberts' handshake. Although in our opinion the band's latest release, Collider, is not quite on par with those Juno winners, there is still plenty to like.

Dear Zeus: We think there's plenty to like about your music too (so reminscent of a certain famous 60s band from Liverpool), and apologize for missing all but one and a half songs of your opening set. We hope our failure to pay attention to show start times doesn't leave a Permanent Scar. Love, N2DS2W.

Papermaps @ Phog Lounge CANCELED

Sorry, we got word last night from Papermaps that Windsor's off their map again. Hopefully third time's a charm. We'll keep you posted.

Sat., Jul. 9

We're having deja vu. Yes, we did a show alert back in April for Papermaps, but they weren't able to make it. This time it looks like a go at Windsor's Phog Lounge.

Papermaps (Toronto): formerly Ex~Po, Papermaps is the creative project of Dean Marino, co-owner of Chemical Sound Recording Studio (Tokyo Police Club, the Black Keys, Born Ruffians). Dean dropped us a note in February to tell us he liked N2D; we like Papermaps' ambitious power pop. Their new name and new album debuted in April; since then, "Reunion" has been in regular rotation on CBC Radio 3.

NXNE 2011: Day 1, part 2-- a little bit of everything

In some ways, NXNE is the great equalizer. With the exception of the big shows at locations like Yonge-Dundas Square and the Phoenix Concert Theatre, bands are on equal ground. Everyone gets 40 minutes for a set, there's no time and frequently no space for elaborate staging, and not a lot of variation in the venues. Most are long rectangles with black walls. ("That's why they call them 'night' clubs," quipped S2W.) Which puts the spotlight exactly where it should be: on the music.

Luyas @ The Shoe

Luyas @ The Shoe

That certainly doesn't mean the music is the same. One of the great things about a festival like NXNE is the opportunity to see a little bit of everything, as we did Thursday evening, starting with  the Luyas (Montreal) at the Legendary Horseshoe Tavern.




As is common in the world of Canadian indie, the Luyas have assorted ties to other bands-- Arcade Fire, Miracle Fortress, Bell Orchestre, Torngat-- but their 60s psychedelia-meets-the 21st-century sound is completely their own. Led by the winsome soprano of singer/guitarist Jessie Stein, they interpret luminous alt pop/rock with a french horn, keyboards, drums/percussion and a good deal of creativity. They just released their second album, Too Beautiful to Work, earlier this year.

Luyas @ The Shoe

From the Shoe we headed over to the Velvet Underground for the Two Koreas (Toronto), a short walk in distance but a long way in attitude. The Two Koreas were in a "if we have time" slot on our schedule, and surprise-- their razor-sharp set of post-punk garage rock turned out to be one of our top 10 shows of NXNE.

Two Koreas @ Velvet Underground

Two Koreas @ Velvet Underground

The 11 p.m. time slot was a killer: PS I Love You, Slow down, Molasses, the Details or Allie Hughes? Logistics and the opportunity for a second-helping of one of our favourite shows at the Phog Lounge last year prevailed. We went for Allie Hughes at Wrongbar. The quirky velvet riding helmet and mannequin heads were gone, replaced by heavy-rimmed glasses and a German schoolteacher persona, but whatever costume/staging suits her fancy, the theatrical Hughes and her very talented band are wildly entertaining and simply amazing.

Les Jupes @Gladstone

As bands well know, a good sound engineer is worth their weight in gold. They are unsung heroes if all the settings are in the right place; the band is unsung (literally, in some cases) if not.

Les Jupes @Gladstone

Last year the sound in the Gladstone Hotel's lofty, brick-walled ballroom left something to be desired.








No problems this year at the Manitoba Music Showcase, happily for us and Les Jupes, of Winnipeg. We enjoyed them as much as we did this past March. Don't let their weighty approach to pop/rock fool you; lead singer/songwriter and man of many hats Michael Petkau Falk is one of the nicest guys around.

Les Jupes @Gladstone

We had hoped to catch Bruce Peninsula, a long-time wannasee, at 1 a.m.; a 19-hour day behind us, plus a date with a 9:30 a.m. radio show ahead of us, meant we hit the hay instead of the Rivoli. Next post: NXNE 2011, Day 2, part 1-- Breakfast and BBQ.

NXNE 2011: Day 1, part 1-- we land on free parking

In an effort to improve upon last year's misguided scheduling, we kicked off NXNE 2011 with beer: a tour of Steam Whistle Brewing, where we had our first meet-and-greet with fellow Radio 3 bloggers Thursday afternoon. What could go wrong?

Three big events converging on Toronto-- NXNE, Illuminato and the Toronto Tattoo Convention (we just thought TO was really into ink) is what could go wrong, in the form of what one cab driver told us later was the worst traffic he'd ever seen. It put us in scramble mode for the rest of the afternoon, and all because of the R3 Mobile. Thanks to Matt Weed from Steam Whistle for the assist and making the tour happen.

The R3 Mobile

After Steam Whistle-- $10 gets you a great half hour tour, lots of free samples and a pilsner glass or bottle opener-- we hoofed it over to the XM Verge Skybar Lounge Rooftop Party. The lineup for this late addition to our carefully-crafted schedule (we were supposed to be at Trinity Bellwoods for their Live in Bellwood series) was too good to pass up: Hollerado, one of our top 10 for 2010 and our favorite NXNE performance last year, and Zeus, to make up for missing almost their entire set in Detroit.

Washington

With a postcard view of Toronto Harbour as a backdrop, we heard a solid set of robust pop from Washington (Australian Megan Washington on keyboard and vox) and alt-rock/pop group Dinosaur Bones (Toronto), warming up for their date with the CBC Radio 3 Showcase on Saturday. In between we chatted with Glen Erickson from the Wheat Pool, who recently launched a music video company; Pete Nema of Sticky Magazine; and the two Michaels from Library Voices (on our schedule for the following evening at the Mod Club).

Dinosaur Bones & Pete Nema of Sticky Magazine (at right)

After a few words with Carlin Nicholson from Zeus, we wish we could say we heard his voice on stage. Instead we heard the voice of reason: we had to go rescue the R3 Mobile from the Steam Whistle lot and pick up our passes if we wanted to hear any shows that night. It's a given at a music festival like NXNE that you miss as many great bands as you see; it wouldn't be the first time that weekend.



We landed on free parking again near NXNE headquarters (the Hyatt Regency on King), when an attendant at a $12 lot let us skate on the promise we were just running in (who said Toronto doesn't have a heart?). We didn't even make it to the door before running into D-Sisive, Muneshine and Ghettosocks, presenters for the SOCAN panel on “Digital Beats & Tweets: How Technology is Changing the Face of Hip-Hop." We've vowed to schedule in some interactive sessions next year; even though we missed their panel, it was great to have another chance to tell D-Sisive and Muneshine how much we enjoyed their show at the Phog in April, and to meet Ghettosocks.

D-Sisive & Muneshine

We had hoped to catch Ruth Minnikin at the Dakota, but by the time we'd picked up our passes, crawled through traffic and checked in at the Grange Hotel, we were lucky to make the Luyas at the Horseshoe Tavern. We'd like to give a shout-out to the Grange; it's not the Hyatt, but in addition to being budget friendly ($95 a night for NXNE), it's clean, centrally located (north of Queen, west of Spadina) and the room has a stove, refrigerator, microwave and even dishes/cooking utensils.

Next post: NXNE 2011 Day 1, part 2-- the Luyas, Allie Hughes, Les Jupes and another schedule fail.

Show Alert: Hey Rosetta! @ the Magic Stick

Tues., Jun. 28
w/ the Prime Ministers (Detroit)

One of our favourite bands return, this time as the headliner at the Magic Stick in Detroit, after a too-short set last September opening for Hot Hot Heat (really, we're over it now). In our humble opinion, Hey Rosetta!, from St. John's, Newfoundland, make some of the most beautiful music around. Polaris voters seem to agree. Into Your Lungs (and around in your heart, and on through your blood) was on the 2009 short list; this year's Seeds is already on the 2011 long list. But don't take our word for it:

Show Review: Wax redux

We enjoyed Wax Mannequin's show at the Phog so much in February, we decided to make a run up to Narnia, uh, Sarnia at the end of May to see him again at Paddy Flaherty's. Unfortunately, a cool, rainy night kept us indoors, but then again, if we'd been outside on the patio, we wouldn't have gotten to see Wax bring down the house.

We jest about the whole Narnia/Sarnia thing, but a Wax Mannequin performance is a little like being in a fantasy land, between the handfuls of crystals, dark fairytale and fairytruth music and body bags full of balloons. Except this time, as Wax was hanging the bag, the shelf over the stage area he tried to affix it to split and gave way, and a treasure trove of bar bric-a-brac crashed down.

The rest of the show was anything but anticlimatic, as Wax delivered a jaunty set that included hits from his latest album, Saxon, plus, to the delight of the audience, "The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald" and "The Log Driver's Waltz." Even Paddy's sound man seemed to enjoy himself, despite the bag of ice on his head from the wreck of the shelf.

Juniors Boys + Miracle Fortress @ the Crofoot

Sat., Jun. 25 in the Pike Room

For some reason, for us the name "Junior Boys" evokes a country band, but nothing could be further from the truth. From their website:

"But then Junior Boys, as their three albums to date (2004’s Last Exit, So This Is Goodbye from 2006 (editor's note: which made the 2007 Polaris short list) and Begone Dull Care from 2009) attest, are not like other outfits. Musically, they marry everything from post punk, disco, techno, R’n’B and electronica with soul, dubstep, house, splintered pop and traces of world music into one cohesive whole. They are at once warm and inviting, yet ice cool; clever but instantly accessible; mercurial and utterly fascinating – all descriptions that go some way to defining their most comprehensive musical statement to date, It’s All True."

Listen

On the other hand, Miracle Fortress sound just like what you might expect: psychedelic alt-rock. The solo side project of Graham Van Pelt of Think About Life , Miracle Fortress has been getting a lot of deserved buzz, and his second album, Was It The Wave? made this year's Polaris long list.

Listen

We did this @ NXNE...

Writing about Canadian indie music and being huge fans of CBC Radio 3 go hand in hand, right? That's what we thought as we joined Vish Khanna for a special #R3NXNE edition of the Breakfast Club.

"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.

My Son the Hurricane: TO show + new video

If you happen to live in the Toronto area, or simply never left NXNE 2011, put this one on your Friday night calendar: brasshop group My Son the Hurricane are playing El Mocambo on Jun. 24 (doors at 9 p.m.). They are performing third, at 11 p.m., after March Forth and the Movement Fam, and before What She Said.

We saw My Son the Hurricane here in Windsor when they opened for D-Sisive and became instant fans of MC Jacob Bergma's rap backed by one heck of a big brass band. If you're not familiar with My Son the Hurricane, here's a just-released video for "Pushing Up Daisies," (featuring Nigel Williams of Pocket Dwellers), off their new album, You Can't Do This. Brass in pocket, indeed.

NXNE 2011: Our Top 10 Performers

Jesuslesfilles @ The Garrison

We have lots to share with you from NXNE 2011; this is just the first salvo. While we work on more detailed reports, reviews and thoughts on everything from the music to the venues to our tips for surviving NXNE, and Russ works on going through 1,500 photos, we thought we'd start by listing our top 10 favourite bands/artists out of the 22 total we saw spread over three days.

Elephant Stone: The sitar. Rishi Dhir. Dreamy psychedelic pop. Amazing.
The Two Koreas: Smart, sharp punk-pop wearing skinny jeans and white loafers.
The Pack a.d.: TO was on fire.
catl: They can give us the blues any time.
Les Jupes: Give this band a place to prosper and we'll eat right from their hand.
Allie Hughes: This fraulein delivers a show like no one else.
The Most Serene Republic: Sign us up as citizens.
One Hundred Dollars: Worth every dollar and more.
Slow down, Molasses: Smiled through their whole set.
Jenn Grant: One of Canada's darlings, and for good reason. Bonus: Buck 65 joined Grant for "Paper Airplanes."
Braids: Fronted by another tour-de-force of a female singer, they delivered a non-stop wave of sound that  swept us up.

Yes, we can count. That was 11.

Show Alert: Miesha & the Spanks @ Phog Lounge

Tues., Jun. 14
with Enjoy Your Pumas (Winnipeg)

We've had a running joke here for a while now after reading somewhere that Michiganians pronounce "garage" as "graage." No matter how we may pronounce it, Detroit is the birthplace of the White Stripes; we know garage rock. If you know it and love it too, you'll like Miesha & the Spanks (Calgary) performing their version of Windsor's Phog Lounge as they tour in support of their second full-length album, Gods of Love.

"A song after my own heart... Calgary's own power-garage band, Miesha & The Spanks- conjuring up musical images of the greatest and most harmonic tunes of The Runaways." Grant Lawrence, CBC Radio 3 host and member of the infamous Smugglers, on new single "Leather Jacket" (Gods Of Love)
