The Bicycles @ CMW 2009

By Jen White (CHARTattack) March 14, 2009 12:49 pm

Background / Composition: This lovable Toronto quintet have two great albums filled with '60s-inspired bubblegum pop under their belts — the latest of which, Oh No, It's Love, recently topped the campus charts for several weeks. Grade: 87 Comment: Oh no, it's done! This was The Bicycles' last show, and many came to the 'Shoe for one last ride...

Sloan Cameo With Bicycles On Stage

By Scott Bryson (CHARTattack) November 10, 2008 11:09 am

It's safe to say that after 30 years, any statute of limitations on parodying monumental events in rock history has expired. Martin Scorsese's The Last Waltz was released to the public in 1978. The documentary was a record of The Band's (original lineup) farewell concert at San Francisco's Winterland Ballroom. The Can-Am rockers were joined on...

The Bicycles — Oh No, It's Love

By Phil Villeneuve (CHARTattack) November 3, 2008 12:39 pm

The Bicycles haven't grown up on their latest indie pop epic and thank God for that! They're still a colourful, bratty collective of musicians with dreams, imaginations, hope and angelic, playful voices. And they still have a love for short, sweet songs that could soundtrack the loveliest of fall days or the sunniest of summer afternoons. With...

The New Pornographers Pop It Up A Notch

By Leah Collins (CHARTattack) October 13, 2006 4:30 pm

Some might have a fever for the cowbell, but if there was an instrument of choice on the Mint Records' 15th Anniversary Tour, it was the tambourine. It jangled constantly during sets from The Bicycles, Immaculate Machine, Novillero and headliners The New Pornographers. Whether smashed on a hip (The Bicycles) or employed doubly per song (Novillero...

The Bicycles — The Good, The Bad And The Cuddly

By Shannon Whibbs (CHARTattack) July 18, 2006 12:08 pm

Oh, Bicycles, how delightful you are! You make a girl want to throw on her go-go boots and dance the Mashed Potato. Indeed, these two-wheel enthusiasts have put together an addictive collection of bubblegum pop sounds that recall The Monkees, The Archies, and even a bit of the very early Beatles catalogue. Replete with catchy choruses and...

Video Of The Day: Doctor Ew's "Let's Make It Legitimate"

By CHARTattack Staff (CHARTattack) March 18, 2011 12:49 pm

Former Bicycles member Doctor Ew's (real name Drew Smith) just sitting around, strumming his guitar in this clip, when all of a sudden a major shit-show goes down all around him. A bunch of people who resemble the Crazy 88 from Kill Bill, Vol. 1 show up, wielding samurai swords and shuriken and go after a guy holding a suitcase. At the end,...

Sloan's Andrew Scott + Bicycles Andrew Scott = Moby Dick

By Kate Harper (CHARTattack) November 6, 2009 4:16 pm

What do you get when you take two men named Andrew Scott and put them on the same stage? A band called Moby Dick. Sloan drummer Andrew Scott and former Bicycles member Andrew Scott will play as Moby Dick (not to be confused with Atlanta's best cover band Moby Dick, Serbian pop group Moby Dick, or Hungarian metal band Moby Dick) at Zeus' Nov. 12...
