Sloan Cameo With Bicycles On Stage

in
By Scott Bryson (CHARTattack) November 10, 2008 11:09 am
It's safe to say that after 30 years, any statute of limitations on parodying monumental events in rock history has expired. Martin Scorsese's The Last Waltz was released to the public in 1978. The documentary was a record of The Band's (original lineup) farewell concert at San Francisco's Winterland Ballroom. The Can-Am rockers were joined on...

Chris Murphy Joins Nardwuar And Evaporators' Love-in

in
By Trevor Hargreaves (CHARTattack) March 8, 2006 4:00 pm
Any frequent Chart reader knows that Nardwuar The Human Serviette and Sloan's Chris Murphy are popular subject matter. If you had to boil it down to the two most featured personalities in Chart history, I'd wager these two would take the trophy. As such, it was particularly odd to witness them rocking out on stage together. With Evaporators...

Next major trend: orchestras playing indie rock. Case in point: The Jingle Punks Hipster Orchestra. Watch them do The Black Keys' "Tighten Up" and MGMT's "Time To Pretend." Not only are Devo playing North By Northeast this year, with a free show at Toronto's Yonge-Dundas Square on June 18, but they'll head out to the 'burbs...

Sloan, Hedley, Katy Perry Making Late Surges In Year-End Readers' Poll

By CHARTattack Staff (CHARTattack) January 6, 2011 4:33 pm
As the Russian junior hockey team showed us yesterday, just when you think someone or a particular team's won, everything can change. All of a sudden your opponent can come out of nowhere and take the lead or win, and you never saw it coming. (Or in some cases, it might be because you were lazy and stopped trying because you thought the entire...

Ten Reasons CHARTattack Is The Official Chris Murphy Fan Page

in
By CHARTattack Staff May 3, 2010 3:12 pm
It seems a Facebook fan page has been set up for Sloan singer/bassist Chris Murphy — excuse us, Christopher Michael Murphy. While it only has 21 fans so far (or, excuse me again, in new Facebook parlance, 21 people "like" it), we here at CHARTattack are a little insulted by this page's existence, mainly because we already thought we'd...

Sloan's Chris Murphy Reveals Surgery Scar

in
By Jason MacNeil (CHARTattack) September 1, 2009 1:21 pm
Sloan's set as part of the Virgin Festival Ontario on Saturday looked relatively painless and fun, but singer Chris Murphy — content to play tambourine and sing — still must be in some discomfort from his broken collarbone. The fracture — caused by a hit-and-run incident in Halifax on July 24 — required surgery. Now, the band have posted a photo...

1. Blue uniforms remind you of the Smurfs, except more "rape-y." 2. Yawd Sylvester's nice-guy routine's a sham. He beats puppies. 3. Simon Evers has apparently scored two of his three lifetime goals against us. He must be so proud. 4. One of their goaltenders works at Exclaim. Blood feud! 5. They take great, unnatural joy in...

Petrol Fuels Search For The Greatest Songs Ever

Chris Murphy (not the guy from Sloan) discovered and managed INXS for 15 years, has become a well-known music mogul in his Australian homeland, and bravely started Petrol Records — a label created to introduce the masses to unknown music from around the globe. Adventure could be this man's middle name, as he ventures to some of the planet's most...
