After years of laments and melancholy on self-evident records like 1997's Loneliest In The Morning and 2004's Goodnight Nobody, New Brunswick's favourite daughter announces in her new disc's first song that she's living "The...

Julie Doiron @ CMW 2008

BACKGROUND/COMPOSITION: Julie Doiron is that quiet girl who sat at the back of the class who you originally knew nothing about. Then one day, at your friend Kyle's after-dance party, she showed up uninvited, drank 12 beers in two hours and then left. The Ally Sheedy of indie music?

Julie Doiron Takes Notes From Calvin Johnson

There are a lot of parallels you can draw between Calvin Johnson and Julie Doiron. Both were stars of the early '90s indie rock scene (Johnson with Beat Happening and Doiron with Eric's Trip).

Julie Doiron — Woke Myself Up

Her latest effort sees her reunited with her former Eric's Trip bandmates (acting as a backing band), notably Rick White, who lends his multi-instrumental talents and his skills in the production booth. This...

Daniel, Fred & Julie Are Lacklustre Live

Sometimes, three things that look like they'd go perfectly together don't end up the way you'd hope. An example would be Thursday night's show at Toronto's Horseshoe Tavern featuring super-ish group Daniel, Fred & Julie. Daniel Romano (Attack in Black), Fred Squire (Shotgun And Jaybird) and Julie Doiron (Eric's Trip and solo fame) are all...
