The Wooden Sky
|
|
"“An album that musically snubbed its nose at every alt-country principle without betraying its love of the pure emotional impact of artists like Gram Parsons and Townes Van Zandt." – Exclaim!
“One of the best roots records of the year.” – Herohill
"..harrowing, self-immolating wordplay" - Eye Weekly
Recent Polaris Long-List nominees The Wooden Sky are proud to announce their first National headlining tour; a 28+ date run from coast-to-coast with fellow Polaris long-listers, Vancouver's Yukon Blonde. The Wooden Sky is fresh off of packed performances at the Hillside and Mariposa Festivals, and have previously supported their release, "If I Don't Come Home, You'll Know I'm Gone" (Black Box) in sold out clubs coast-to-coast alongside bands like Elliott Brood and The Rural Alberta Advantage.
The tour begins on September 24th at the Rifflandia Festival in Victoria, followed by club dates in Western Canada, Quebec, the Maritimes, the Northeastern US, Southern Ontario and finishing November 6th at Lee's Palace in Toronto. The 28 tour dates include stops in all of the major markets - Calgary, Edmonton, Winnipeg, Halifax, Montreal, and many points in between."
If I Don’t Come Home You’ll Know I’m Gone brilliantly sweeps through countless rock, country, and folk sub genres. It is sure to please even the harshest music critics with the deftness of Allman Brothers, the songwriting focus of Wilco, and the experimental sonic cacophony of the Flaming Lips. This career-defining record, composed over months spent living, writing and recording between Toronto and Montreal, made fans of Chromewaves, CBC Radio 3, My Old Kentucky Blog, EYE Weekly, SPIN, NOW and National Post, among others.
Often compared to the songwriting depth of The National juxtaposed with the grit and raw energy of a younger, rowdier Wilco or Crooked Fingers, The Wooden Sky’s new 13-track LP brilliantly sweeps through countless rock, folk, and country subgenres. This career-defining record, recently long-listed for the illustrious Polaris Music Prize, was composed over months spent living, writing and recording between Toronto and Montreal. The list of people involved the creation of the record is expansive, including some of the band’s oldest friends and newest acquaintances: Heather Kirby (Ohbijou), Debra Jean Creelman (ex-Mother Mother), Howard Billerman (ex-Arcade Fire), Edwin Huizinga (Mars Volta), Adam Kinner (Marathon), and Tyler Belluz. |

Fences
|
Chris Mansfield fancies himself a fuck-up. Through the ten songs that make up the self-titled full-length from Fences, the 27-year-old musician’s band, the singer and songwriter sings, in his resigned baritone how he just can’t seem to get it right – love, life, family – again and again. That might be right, but if Mansfield’s growing international fanbase, which includes the album’s producer Sara Quin, of Tegan and Sara, shows anything, it’s that Mansfield can do no wrong with his songs.
Most songwriters are lucky to write a single love song that truly cuts to the bone once in their lifetime. With his debut record, Mansfield has managed to write ten such songs; taught, jangling, downcast pop songs that expose the crippling pain and ineffable beauty that comes from a true kind of love. While he has only just begun his ascent to the complex virtuosity of his fellow saints of the down-and-out – Elliott Smith, Townes Van Zandt, hell, George Orwell – Mansfield has, with this album, struck out as a new, honest voice in an era of false sentimentality.
Mansfield’s musical life started in Boston where he spent his late teens studying music at the Berklee School of Music and experimenting with life and love. His first song – a short and simple three-chord strum called “Running from Pigeons” written to win back an ex girlfriend – whetted his appetite for music. He eventually got the girl back, started writing more songs and played a few house shows. At the time, that girlfriend was studying the plays of August Wilson and suggested that Mansfield name his band after the famed playwrights most beloved play, Fences.
Three years ago, with only that name, a few songs and a few bags, Mansfield moved to the Pacific Northwest with his current girlfriend to be closer to his mom and a music scene he hoped would welcome him with open arms. With some of his savings, he bought a four track. He began working, in earnest, on his music, spending hours each day working out melodies and lyrics in a small Capitol Hill studio, drawing from his musical training and his own life. “My Girl the Horse” – consisting of a simple country guitar line, a looping beat from a drum machine and Mansfield’s anxieties – came first. Many followed, until Mansfield had a full EP’s worth of songs that he would go on to title the Ultimate Puke EP. He quickly self-released the collection of raw, devastatingly beautiful recordings. The word spread and soon Fences was on the musical map in the Emerald City. With those few tunes, Mansfield worked his way onto stages with Mark Kozelek, St. Vincent and performed at prestigious PACNW festivals such as The Bumbershoot Music and Arts Festival, The Capitol Hill Block Party and Sasquatch. The EP also landed in the hands of young record producer who passed it along to Canadian indie-pop duo Tegan and Sara.
Sara Quin, one half of the duo and a producer in her own right, immediately took to the music and sent Mansfield a message, beginning a long correspondence and friendship. After a year of writing back and forth, Quin asked Mansfield the question he had been hoping for: “Do you have a passport?” Within weeks, Mansfield was at Quin’s studio in Victoria, B.C., for a ten-day stint, clocking 12 hour days while recording 13 songs. Ten of those songs would become the full-length debut, Fences.
The influence of Quin is clear, though the new album is still, very much, the work of Mansfield. What was simply implied on the Ultimate Puke EP – the beauty that runs as a current underneath the down-and-out times – was made manifest in the studio with Quin. The album’s finer points – “Boys Around Here,” “Sadie,” “My Girl the Horse” – shine under the guise of her production, Mansfield’s truthful tales of woe illuminated by the beauty of pop music.
This is still tragic stuff, but man is it magnificent.

Allon Beausoeil, popularly known as allon, was born deaf and with teeth.
Hailing from Tokyo via New York City and Portland Oregon, his musical career was set in motion at the age of 10 when he heard Pink Floyd's "Wish You Were Here" album during a family trip.
After starting and joining bands, most often as a guitarist and singer, allon decided to go solo.Since then he has shared the stage with such artists as Beck, Rikie Lee Jones, Sonic Boom, The Dandy Warhols, The Sneaker Pimps, DJ Spooky, Olivia Tremor Control, Kenji Jammer, Stereo Total, John Fahey and Natural Calamity, to name a few.
His sweet voice, semi-sarcastic lyrics, combination of electronics with traditional instruments such as the sitar and intimate understanding of the production process creates music that is thoroughly modern, yet underpinned by a sense of nostalgia that never fails to stir emotions.

Mass Of The Fermenting Dregs
|
The original tour in May brought five Japanese bands to Canada (mothercoat, andymori, Kulu Kulu Garden, Owarikara, and goomi) that marginalized the language barrier with their energetic and soulful performances on-stage. All 5 bands played indie pop/rock but each had a refreshingly different style quite unlike anything heard in North America. Crowd reaction to the tour was overwhelmingly positive but if there was one complaint it was that with 5 bands the set lengths were too short.
The second tour in October will feature four bands giving each band more time to play yet retaining the festival-like nature of the original. Once again none of the bands will sound remotely alike to reflect the creativity and diversity of Tokyo’s indie/underground rock scene. However, what each band does share is an inordinate degree of skill (chops!) and an insatiable desire to move the crowd with the intensity of their performance.
MASS OF THE FERMENTING DREGS A female post-punk band combining beautifully melancholic vocal melodies with clean yet bone-crushing instrumentation. Absolutely ferocious live performances that beg the question: is MOTFD the best female rock band in the world?
Sgt. One of Japan’s premiere post-rock/instrumental bands highlighted by Hitoshi Ono’s virtuosic drumming and Mikiko Narui’s elegantly haunting electric violin. Fans of toe, MONO and LITE should not miss the opportunity to see this immensely talented quartet.
uhnellys A noise-funk duo playing live music with no DJ or samples. They’ve collaborated and recorded songs with Canadian emcee and Polaris shortlist nominee SHAD. They’ve also toured and recorded with Brooklyn’s finest Mike Doughty (ex-Soul Coughing). As a band they are comparable to Grammy award winners the Roots… just as phenomenal on stage but with half the members, a more progressive/experimental sound and a much sexier drummer (sorry ?uestlove).
susquatch Smooth jazzy melodic pop punctuated by aggressive drumming and intricate twin guitars that give the music a forceful edge. Maps & Atlases, Them Roaring Twenties and Death Cab for Cutie are a few of their influences. Watching Maki Nakano’s powerfully adept drumming alone is worth the price of admission.
Zoobombs, Polysics, BORIS, Acid Mothers Temple, and MONO are just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to excellent Japanese bands. Tokyo has secretly developed a massive indie rock scene with music on the cutting edge of creativity and skill. Leading rock journalist Mark Paytress (Mojo, Q) recently declared Tokyo the new “Rock N’ Roll capital of the world.” Next Music from TOKYO endeavors to bring more of these great bands to Canada to save you the hassle of flying to Japan.

Foundation Concerts presents Dean Wareham Plays Galaxie 500 at Vancouver's Biltmore Cabaret on Monday, November 15th. In Commemoration of the recent reissuing of Galaxie 500's entire catalogue, Dean will be playing an entire show of Galaxie 500 songs for the first time in almost 20 years. Dean will be accompanied by wife Britta Phillips and 2 band members.
Dean Wareham was born in 1963 in the city of Wellington, New Zealand. At the age of 14, he immigrated to the United States with his parents, settling first in New York City and then moving to Cambridge, MA, to attend Harvard University. While in Cambridge, Wareham fell in with fellow students Damon Krukowski and Naomi Yang, with whom he formed Galaxie 500 in 1987. After spending four years as indie-level stars -- during which time the trio helped birth the subgenre that eventually would be dubbed slowcore -- Galaxie 500 split up in 1991. Wareham returned to New York and formed Luna with fellow New Zealand expatriate Justin Harwood (formerly of the Chills) and New Jersey-born drummer Stanley Demeski (formerly of the Feelies). Among other lineup shifts, Harwood left Luna in 2000 and was replaced by Britta Phillips.
After Philips joined Luna, her vocals became an integral part of the band's sound. In 2003, Dean & Britta, now romantically involved, released a breezy duet album called L'Avventura. Following the 2005 dissolution of Luna, Dean & Britta made their partnership official with the release of the 2006 EP Words You Used To Say. This was followed in early 2007 by the full-length Back Numbers, a collaboration with Pete Kember (aka Sonic Boom of Spacemen 3 and Experimental Audio Research fame). Several years later, the musicians -- now husband and wife -- began working on the soundtrack to 13 Most Beautiful: Songs for Andy Warhol Screen Tests, a film featuring several of Andy Warhol's silent film portraits on artists like Nico and Lou Reed. The film was released on DVD in 2010 in conjunction with the Andy Warhol Museum; a double disc CD featuring songs from the film as well as remixes by Scott Hardkiss, Sonic Boom, and My Robot Friend soon followed. |

Arts & Crafts’ venerable folk-rock troubadour Jason Collett is set to embark on a nationwide run of solo acoustic dates slated for the fall of 2010.
Dubbed The Undressed Tour Jason will make his way diligently across Canada from tip to tip - including his first ever appearance in Newfoundland - starting October 14th in Peterborough, ON.
Along the way, fans will be treated to soulful, stripped down acoustic versions of songs from Collett’s extensive catalogue, up to and including his 2010 Polaris Prize nominated LP Rat A Tat Tat.
And to coincide with the tour, Jason will release a special collection of previous works, each re-imagined, taken apart and re-recorded with a focus on the beautiful simplicity and intrinsic storytelling at the heart of each song.
The Undressed Tour is Jason seeking a return to his roots, a distinct effort to push away the distractions and reconnect with his many fans in a most intimate way.
Through unconventional venues and that unadorned approach, Collett’s songs will be reemerge stunningly and in their most natural state, expressed in brilliant simplicity by their creator and brilliantly shaded with context from the stories that gave them their very shape. |
