Lake Of Stew Successful At MIMIs

MONTREAL — The Montreal International Music Initiative (MIMI) has a long, coloured history of attempting to celebrate and promote the local music scene to varying degrees of success. Bad timing, lack of interest and all-out dislike for the concept have been issues that the revolving door of organizers have dealt with since 1997. But the MIMIs...

Hollerado @ NXNE 2008

BACKGROUND/COMPOSITION: Hollerado are four nice, young men who play cute and catchy alternative pop/rock about love, life and some vaguely cowboy-ish stories about their fictional home, which carries the same moniker as their band. They’re kind of like Canada’s answer to The Refreshments’ first album, but cooler and with more music nerd...

Hollerado @ CMW 2008

BACKGROUND/COMPOSITION: Hollerado isn't a real place, but if it was, and that's where these guys were from, it would be a fun place to visit. But you sure as hell wouldn't want to live there. Hollerado majored in party rock in school and were indisputedly at the top of their class for loud, brash, cocky displays that got their classmates to...

Video Of The Day: Hollerado's "Got To Lose"

Hollerado continue to amaze with their incredible videos. "Got To Lose" is pretty jaw-dropping because it was shot in a single take. I'm sure the boys and all those umbrella-wielding extras rehearsed the hell out of this before they shot it, but nonetheless this is still really impressive. It also makes Feist's video for "1234" look downright...

Video Of The Day: Hollerado's "Fake Drugs"

To be completely honest with you kiddies, this ain't a new one, but it's a goodie. Everything about this Hollerado video is funny, from drummer Jake Boyd eating disgusting fast food while dressed like Jesus with "WWJD" written on his knuckles, the entire band playing with stockings on their faces in front of a Scientology building, Jake licking a...

Video Of The Day: Hollerado's "Americanarama"

Hollerado shot their new video for "Americanarama" in one take, but that doesn't mean it took them lots of practice to get it right. The clip's what they're calling a "human 8-bit" video, featuring 24 people in a scaffold shifting gigantic bristol boards to the time of the band's movements. That means you get to watch them play ping-pong, beat...
