Dears Hearts On Sleeve In Toronto

in
By Erik Missio (CHARTattack) May 1, 2009 3:17 pm
Miserable, never-ending torrential downpours, paired with Toronto's traffic and endless construction can make it hard to get to early shows like The Dears' gig at The Mod Club. Consequently, this reviewer only caught the last two songs of local opener, Lioness. (Of course, given The Dears had their tour bus stolen that morning and still...

Lioness — Lioness

in
By Scott Bryson (CHARTattack) October 21, 2008 9:41 am
Lioness formed from the ashes of Controller.Controller, but those searching for a second coming of the defunct Toronto band should look elsewhere — only that original group's rhythm section remains as a backer for ex-No Dynamics singer Vanessa Fischer. Bass lovers be warned: this disc might be your hottest wet dream since Death From Above 1979....

Ten Great Big Cat Bands: A Reclaiming Tigers From The Woods List

By Barry Taylor (CHARTattack) April 12, 2010 11:29 am
Tiger Woods. There wasn't a newspaper or radio or television that wasn't covering Woods' return to golf this weekend. It was straight up zany, and it's also starting to give real tigers a bad name. It was bad enough when Montecore played chew toy with Roy Horn back in 2003. Shere Kahn was a dick, too. And now we have to relive all of Tiger's...

Here's Lioness' new video for their self-titled debut EP's "What You Do Will Come Back To You." It's full of skull make-up, voodoo and bonfires in caves. Singer Vanessa Fischer designed the costumes, while drummer Jeff Scheven directed the clip. Lioness will play shows at Hamilton, Ont.'s Club Absinthe on Jan. 23 and Toronto's Horseshoe...

Lioness — "You're My Heart"

in
By CHARTattack Staff June 4, 2009 11:24 am
The clip for Lioness' "You're My Heart" pits singer Vanessa Fischer against 1920s-esque silent film footage. The video, which was directed by drummer and former Controller.Controller member Jeff Scheven, cleverly juxtaposes Fischer with medical footage of hearts and atoms and wouldn't be out of place in Nosferatu or films of that ilk.

By Erik Leijon (CHARTattack) November 21, 2008 3:54 pm
MONTREAL — British, European and American festival bookers and media have congregated in Montreal for the third straight year to figuratively poke and prod at the best bands the city has to offer in the hopes of finding the next big thing at M For Montreal. Truthfully, the city still has many great bands that have yet to be discovered, but...

Lioness Battle Previous Group's Ghost

By Scott Bryson (CHARTattack) October 28, 2008 4:50 pm
While it hasn't been advertised as an official band mandate, it wouldn't be unreasonable to assume that newly formed dance-rock trio Lioness are on a single-minded mission: to prove that Controller.Controller's parts were better than their sum. Critics, hipsters and indie kids alike let out a collective groan in 2006 when singer Nirmala...

The gal from No Dynamics and two dudes from Controller.Controller have formed Lioness, yet another dance-rock band. For sure, Vanessa Fischer has a powerful voice,  but opening for Bocce a career does not make.
