There's truth in the stereotype that Torontonians are unwilling to shake a tail at concerts, but The Cansecos had the stage area more than half-filled with dancing patrons by the end of their opening set. Shout Out Out Out Out (hereafter, Shout Out) really hit the jackpot when they landed the hometown quartet as a warm-up act. They're capable,...

in
By Matt Littlefair (CHARTattack) November 5, 2007 2:04 pm
When Toronto-based band The Cansecos released Juiced! in the summer, it was a bit of a head-scratcher. Juiced! was, in fact, a remix of Juices!, which hadn't yet been released. It was a puzzling move. Juiced! was good but Juices! is much better. While The Cansecos might delve into an oh-so-familiar "I made this on my laptop while the world...

By Evan Dickson (CHARTattack) November 20, 2008 1:58 pm
"People want to party. What more can you say?" Gareth Jones of The Cansecos is talking about the current trend of bands playing live dance music. Hearing the relaxed synth-and-sample pop on the Toronto duo's Juices! album, you'd be disinclined to lump them in with the likes of Justice or The Carps. But Jones insists that his band took...
