After expecting us to wade through a tuneless pile of meh for the first half, LIARS slay and blow minds during the latter half of their Biltmore gig on July 9. Check out the pics.
I went out and got lost in the Lower Dens. Check out this gallery of pics and a few words on the Dens’ gig at the Media Club in Vancouver on July 7. Plus a few of No Joy’s hair!
Day 3 and my final day at Sled Island Festival in Calgary. Today included Nardwuar talking about me on stage, meeting Andrew WK, stalking Thurston Moore from Sonic Youth and seeing Yamantaka//Sonic Titan, Terry Malts & Boris. Rock!
In which our heroine manages to crawl across most of Calgary, checking out We Are the City, The Zolas, Beekeeper, Max Ulis, Willis Earl Beal, Baby Dee, Hot Snakes and the Sadies. Phew, I got tired just writing that. Here’s Sled Island, Day 2.
Yay for festivals! Herewith Day 1 (a slow and mostly Lou Barlow-y sort of day with a touch of Shadowy Men on a Shadowy Planet) of the fab Sled Island festival in Calgary on June 20, 2012. The longest day of the year, and one filled with fab musicks and friends. Stay tuned for Days…
Just another regular Saturday: sitting at a fave Japanese spot, sharing spot prawns with Curt Smith from Tears for Fears. Discover what the hell this social-media-savvy dude and all-around-nice guy has been up to in the last little while.
Possibly the best album of the year, if not the last five, has arrived and it’s a wee little debut by a four-piece of twenty-nothings from Cambridge, UK. Herewith, an exclusive interview with Thom Green of the BSR’s favest new band: Δ (ALT-J).
A roundup of the sleepytrippy Spiritualized show in Vancouver at the Rickshaw Theatre on May 26. Includes a story about how I accidentally stalked the band in the 90s.
