Joel Plaskett Emergency Close Canadian Tour On High Note

in
By Steve McLean (CHARTattack) May 28, 2007 2:00 pm
Joel Plaskett has gone from Ashtray Rock and travelled across Canada in support of his new album of the same name, and his tour ended in grand style with people "getting wasted on a Saturday night" at the Opera House. While he isn't necessarily selling as many records or getting as much radio play as he deserves, the fact that he could...

Peter Elkas — Wall Of Fire

in
By Cameron Gordon (CHARTattack) March 20, 2007 7:41 pm
Peter Elkas' transition from rabbit to grown-ass man has been nothing short of shocking. After cutting his teeth in Cancon indie pipsqueaks The Local Rabbits, Elkas could have eased into middle age quickly and without fanfare. Luckily for us, he did nothing of the sort and has matured into a surprisingly soulful singer/songwriter. Wall Of Fire is...

Peter Elkas @ CMW 2007

By Matt Littlefair (CHARTattack) March 10, 2007 1:00 pm
Background/Composition: Peter Elkas strumming out lovelorn, soul-inflected rock, flanked by his backing band, whom he lovingly refers to as The Elkoholics. Grade: 71 Comment: Elkas may be grooving to a soul-soaked beat these days, but it seems like he's only got that one beat. While he's good at what he does, making people of both...

WATCH: Peter Elkas performs "Cool Thing To Do"

in
By Dan Busheikin (CHARTattack) November 21, 2011 10:53 am
The ever-talented and remarkably handsome (no homo) Peter Elkas is a pretty safe bet for toe-tapping, soulful rock. This clip of him performing "Cool Thing To Do", the closing track on his 2011 LP Repeat Offender, delivers exactly what you're looking for. Gorgeous sound and video (courtesy of the Southern Souls crew) capture Elkas and co.'s...

Peter Elkas Takes A Team Approach These Days

in
By Shannon Whibbs (CHARTattack) February 28, 2007 5:30 pm
Peter Elkas isn't exactly a fresh face on the scene, having gotten his start in the '90s with Montreal rockers The Local Rabbits, but his solo career is building up speed. And his second effort, Wall Of Fire, sees him quite literally finding his groove. His 2004 Party Of One debut sowed the seeds of his soul-based rock direction, but Wall Of...

Peter Elkas — Party Of One

in
By Mike Armitage (CHARTattack) September 14, 2004 11:53 am
Have you ever found a beaten Golden Oldies tape at the back of your car’s glovebox? Did you sing along because it felt so damn good? Ex-Local Rabbit Peter Elkas gives the same type of pleasure. Party Of One is a pop rock album that is so pared-down and simple that you’ll feel like you’re watching him from a front row seat in a basement bar....
