Hawksley Live At Massey

in
By Caitlin Hotchkiss (CHARTattack) December 1, 2008 4:53 pm
Given the freezing Toronto temperature on Friday night — not to mention the lack of need to line up early, since Massey Hall is thankfully a seated venue — it was pretty heartening to see that the cavernous hall was more than half-full for opening band Hey Rosetta!. It's always a good sign for a band on the rise when they can pull in a crowd when...

Hawksley Workman Plays Trooper Songs In Whitehorse

in
By Andrew Hoshkiw (CHARTattack) June 4, 2008 2:30 pm
Hawksley Workman certainly went out of his way to make Whitehorse, far to the north of anything, a stop on his latest tour. The crowd made their appreciation of this no secret by wildly clapping and shouting between every song when the troubadour played before an enthralled, packed house at the Yukon Arts Centre on Tuesday evening. This wasn't...

Hawksley Workman Presents A Night Of Theatre and Sexed-Up Drumming

By Phil Villeneuve (CHARTattack) March 10, 2008 12:00 pm
Hawksley Workman's Friday show at the Music Hall shouldn't have been billed as a simple concert. Clocking in at two-and-a-half hours, with five separate segments, it should have been called Frickin' Amazing: An Evening With Hawksley Workman. Entering the stage to a standing ovation and packed house of mostly hardcore fans, the hefty-looking man...

Hawksley Workman — Between The Beautifuls

in
By Evan Dickson (CHARTattack) January 29, 2008 6:05 pm
Hawksley Workman's new record continues in the introspective direction begun on Treeful Of Starling. It seems Workman has replaced the cabaret-style musical excess of his early albums with emotional excess on Between The Beautifuls. The cringe-worthy title is the first warning sign of this. While it was easy to forgive the extremes of his first...

Hawksley Workman — Treeful Of Starling

in
By Sarah Kurchak (CHARTattack) March 7, 2006 11:30 am
Stripped of the sweeping swagger from his previous two albums, Lover/Fighter and (Last Night We Were) The Delicious Wolves, Hawksley Workman's new offering is a quiet, sweet and disarmingly earnest affair. Like a more focused and intimate For Him And The Girls, it's a swirl of wholehearted love ("You Are Too Beautiful," "You And The Candles"),...

Hawksley Workman Playing G20 Defence Fundraiser

in
By CHARTattack Staff (CHARTattack) November 10, 2010 1:00 pm
It might just be us, but we think Hawksley Workman is more likely to perform at an event like Toronto Pride than anything remotely related to this past June's fiasco that was the G20 summit. Despite his recent interview with The Globe And Mail about the census, of course. But regardless, Workman is set to perform at a fundraiser for G20 protesters...

That includes Hawksley Workman.The Globe And Mail interviewed Workman about the census earlier this month, and he revealed that he thinks it's a "civic duty" to fill out a census — even a...

Video Of The Day: Hawksley Workman's "Chemical"

By CHARTattack Staff (CHARTattack) September 2, 2010 3:30 pm
It looks like Hawksley Workman's been in some kind of horrible accident because he's stuck in a full body cast in the video for "Chemical." Yet somehow, he's still able to sing, freak out on a stretcher, sit up and play guitar and party for New Year's or something like that... despite that they're using a...

Video Of The Day: Hawksley Workman's "(The Happiest Day I Know Is A) Tokyo Bicycle"

in
By CHARTattack Staff (CHARTattack) August 19, 2010 4:37 pm
Hawksley Workman's video for Meat's "(The Happiest Day I Know Is A) Tokyo Bicycle" follows its bug-eyed, pointy-toothed protagonist on a bicycle ride that somehow manages to jump from Tokyo to Paris and back again. There's tons of what Wayne Coyne would probably call "psychedelic" colours, and it suits Workman's...

Buck 65, Hawksley Workman Collaboration Could Be Called Loose Cougar

By Kate Harper (CHARTattack) August 19, 2010 4:33 pm
The announcement earlier this year that Buck 65 and Hawksley Workman were working together on an unnamed project probably brought huge grins to many people's faces. The two are notoriously wicked and weird, but have never collaborated until now. When we try and imagine what Buck 65 and Workman would sound like if their tracks were mashed...

Can you really think of something more stereotypically Canadian than hockey? Fine, maple syrup, beavers, and the word "eh" taken out of the equation, it's kind of hard not to immediately think of one of our two national sports (the other, of course, being lacrosse). Score: A Hockey Musical will appropriately open the 2010 Toronto...
