All signs pointed to Blue Rodeo appearing as the secret guest performer in the 1 a.m. slot of this North By Northeast evening at Lee's — at least three of the band's members were in attendance and took part in Six Shooter Records’ Outlaws & Gunslingers showcase. Those partaking of the NXNE Twitter wire knew differently. A tweet went out mid-...

Beasts Aplenty For Transmission's Third Night

in
By Quinn Omori (CHARTattack) December 9, 2008 12:36 pm
I started the final night of Transmission by catching Courtney Wing's set. The write-up on the band mentioned "members of Godspeed You! Black Emperor and Bell Orchestre," but while Wing's ensemble shares a penchant for the grandiose with the two aforementioned acts, it's not really a fair comparison. Godspeed and Bell Orchestre are...

Elliott Brood — Mountain Meadows

in
By Steve McLean (CHARTattack) June 24, 2008 10:46 am
Elliott Brood have become one of my favourite Canadian live bands over the past five years. You wouldn't expect three guys using a suitcase, banjo and an acoustic guitar with effects pedals to create such a full sound on stage, but they do. And while I enjoyed their Tin Type debut EP and Juno Award-nominated Ambassador full-length, these...

Elliott Brood Have Become Scorching Rock Gods

in
By Scott Bryson (CHARTattack) June 23, 2008 3:00 pm
Let's take it as a given that Elliott Brood are a great band. But when exactly did they become so widely admired that they can fill the Horseshoe Tavern like a breeze and feel justified in selling their CDs for an exorbitant $20? Whether it was a deal with the devil or just steel bollocks, good on them, 'cause they pulled it off. The CDs were...

Elliott Brood @ CMW 2006

By Erik Missio (CHARTattack) March 6, 2006 10:30 am
Hometown: Toronto, Ontario V Background/Composition: Death country trio bring the banjo-fuelled songs of murder, desperation and homesickness. Grade: 84 Comment: The darker Johnny Cash/countrified Nick Cave references seem to trite to make. Besides, Elliott Brood's performance went far beyond a couple of bluegrassy death...

Ohbijou's third album Metal Meets will be released on Sept. 27 through Last Gang. We're reasonably certain there's going to be nothing "metal" about Ohbijou meeting up with Last Gang. Kill The Lights, Champion, Malajube, Les Breastfeeders, Radio Radio, and a bunch of bands you've never heard of if you're not from Quebec are part of Bonsound's free...

Elliott Brood's third full-length album will be called Days Into Years, and will be released sometime later this year.

On that day, the Toronto alt.country...

Polaris Short Listers Suggest Future Nominees

"I call bullshit!" Chad VanGaalen shouted from the stage just after he pieced together that Leonard Cohen, who turned 75 that day, didn't make it to the short-list at Monday night's Polaris Music Prize gala. Cohen's Live In London double CD/DVD package made this year's Polaris Music Prize long list and was a bit of a contentious pick...

Awful Things People Said About Polaris Short Listed Albums

By Kate Harper, with files from Aaron Brophy (CHARTattack) September 22, 2009 2:08 pm
The 10 albums on this year's Polaris Music Prize short list may have been lauded by music critics, but there was always at least one person full of bile who wanted to crap all over the positive reviews. Patrick Watson, who won the Polaris Music Prize for 2006's Close To Paradise in 2007 and were short listed again this year for Wooden Arms,...

Polaris Music Prize Gala Recap

Monday night's Polaris Music Prize gala was all kinds of wacky. After pretty standard performances from Metric, Great Lake Swimmers and Malajube, Patrick Watson and company emerged with backpacks of megaphones with weird lights on them and proceeded to play a tune from Wooden Arms in the middle of the floor right next to Chad VanGaalen's table...
