Mobile — Tales From The City

in
By Sheena Lyonnais (CHARTattack) December 18, 2008 3:50 pm
I've always thought Mobile were like a Montreal version of The Bravery. This may sound like I've been spending too much time at Toronto's Dance Cave drinking gin and soda and bustin' moves all night, but if you listen to this sophomore release alongside The Bravery's The Sun And The Moon, you'll see why. Like The Bravery, Mobile follows a simple...

Rain Can't Wash Edgefest Away

in
By Shannon Whibbs (CHARTattack) July 4, 2006 4:30 pm
This year marks the 20th anniversary of Edgefest. The festival has gone through many permutations over the years, but in the end, it still serves as a great way of bringing music to the masses. I don't visit the Amphitheatre often, so every time I come back it takes a little while to get used to the lay of the land. After wandering by the...

Mobile — Tomorrow Starts Today

in
By Alison Lang (CHARTattack) April 25, 2006 12:55 pm
After that whole Louis XIV fiasco, I've generally stopped relying on my psychic powers to predict a fledgling band's popularity. However, you don't need to be LaToya Jackson to see that young girls will soon be going apeshit for francophone rockers, Mobile. They even sound cute, if familiar. Mat Joly's plaintive vocals strongly suggest the Brendan...

Short Sets Don't Benefit Sirius Stars

By David McPherson (CHARTattack) March 7, 2006 4:00 pm
On a frigid Friday evening, the kids were out in full force at the shrine on Sherbourne to catch four of Canada's most exciting young bands. Unfortunately, a glimpse is all the packed Phoenix got of these emerging artists. Each subsequent shortened set left attendees agape with wonder and asking the people beside them, "That's all?"...

By Kate Harper (CHARTattack) January 27, 2010 4:49 pm
Former members of Canadian indie rockers The Stills, Mobile, The Snitches and Cafeine have formed a new band called Lights Off. Ex-Stills guitarist Greg Paquet and Pat No (ex-Xavier Cafeine) came up with the idea for Lights Off, formed a live band and started playing shows at the end of 2009. No wrote most of Lights Off's songs in his kitchen...

Mobile Drummer Leaves Band For Law

By Jason MacNeil (CHARTattack) February 24, 2009 2:19 pm
Mobile drummer Pierre-Marc Hamelin is leaving the Montreal rock band for the bar. Wait, not that kind of bar. "It is with regret that I bring you this news — Pierre, our drummer and most importantly our friend is leaving Mobile," guitarist Christian "Criq" Brais wrote on the band's MySpace blog on Feb. 19. "Pierre has...

Mobile And Bend Sinister Get Fictional

in
By Kate Harper (CHARTattack) January 30, 2009 3:34 pm
It's probably appropriate that Montreal's Mobile and Vancouver's Bend Sinister will be on the road together throughout March on what's dubbed the Sound Of Fiction Tour, considering both bands released albums with titles that reference some kind of written work last year. Bend Sinister are touring in support of their Stories Of Brothers, Tales...

Pumping: Mobile — Tales From The City

By The Stereo (CHARTattack) December 10, 2008 11:48 am
Here's a little secret: whole pockets of the Canadian music industry hate Mobile. We're not entirely sure why, but we figure it's because they're on Universal — the top dogs around here — and probably still have money for radio and marketing and all the other stuff nobody else can afford anymore. It's probably jealousy, then. Are they really...

Mobile Win Fight With MySpace

in
By Jen White (CHARTattack) December 3, 2008 2:42 pm
All is now right in the virtual MySpace world of Mobile. MySpace booted the Montreal band from its URL (www.myspace.com/mobile) last month because it was apparently too similar to the web address for MySpace Mobile, the company's new cellphone service. But it seems that all Mobile's manager's cussin' about how MySpace "click-fucked"...

MySpace Reclaims Mobile's URL

in
By Kate Harper (CHARTattack) December 1, 2008 3:56 pm
Mobile's manager has accused MySpace of stealing the band's MySpace URL without permission. Don Affleck says the Montreal group received a message from MySpace on Nov. 19 that said the website would reclaim their URL in order to make the site better and that they'd have to choose a new URL within 48 hours. Affleck says it happened because Mobile...

Mobile Travel A Dark Path On Tales From The City

in
By Ciara McCann (CHARTattack) November 21, 2008 12:38 pm
When Mobile burst onto the scene in 2006, they were quickly lumped in with other '80s rock revivalists and were tagged "The Killers of the north." With catchy top radio hits like "Montreal Calling" and "Out Of My Head," the band quickly gained national popularity. But unlike The Killers, Mobile failed to take off...

The ex-Soundgarden and Audioslave frontman is heading out on the road in support of his third solo album, Scream (which depending on your point of view Cornell is either a curse or a blessing), which was produced by...

Mobile's Movie-Inspired Album

By Ciara McCann (CHARTattack) September 18, 2008 3:33 pm
Some bands are lucky enough to make their mark on the music scene as soon as they begin. But Montreal pop-rockers Mobile began working long and hard in 1997 before they finally landed a major record deal with Universal and released their Tomorrow Starts Today debut in 2006. Mobile enjoyed success with their album's upbeat, '80s-inspired style,...
