The Cliks — Dirty King

in
By Kate Harper (CHARTattack) June 26, 2009 2:36 pm
Dirty King was born of the frustration The Cliks' frontman Lucas Silveira encountered while on tour with bands like The Cult over the last few years. Silveira and company had few breaks on the road and were often left completely drained because of their schedule, which meant Dirty King was mostly written quickly over two weeks of pre-production in...

The Cliks @ CMW 2007

in
By John Britton (CHARTattack) March 10, 2007 1:00 pm
Background/Composition: This quartet of three women and a man enjoy dishing out a heavy dose of crunch-heavy rock 'n' roll that has been slightly dipped in a mix of blues and early '70s Detroit rock. Grade: 86 Comment: The Cliks are for real. Don't expect cheesy, drippy bubblegum pop-rock from this good looking and styling group. From...

Our computer gnomes have finished their work determining the results for our 15th Annual Year End Readers' Poll, and now we'd like to reveal the winners to you (just in case you didn't see that really long headline there). Avril Lavigne is apparently sexier than any other Canadian female because she garnered a whopping 605,538 votes for the...

But then The Cliks put a link to their poll on their Facebook page. Cliks fans must have refreshed the hell out of that voting page because Cliks frontman Lucas Silveira has roared out to take the lead away...

The Cliks — "Dirty King"

in
By CHARTattack Staff July 22, 2009 3:31 pm
The video for the title track from The Cliks' recently released Dirty King finds frontman Lucas Silveira as a king whose sceptre breaks, while drummer Morgan Doctor and bassist Jen Benton are dressed in white and turn black from some sort of pollutant. Doctor's cymbals later start shattering. "Dirty King" was written about Silveira's...

The Cliks Brush Off The Dirt

in
By Kate Harper (CHARTattack) June 30, 2009 11:27 am
Success is often unexpected, and it can sometimes catch bands off guard. Adjusting to the somewhat artificial environment that's created by being on tour can be tough, which The Cliks found out when touring behind 2007's Snakehouse. Singer/guitarist Lucas Silveira talked to CHARTattack about how these experiences made their way on to The Cliks...

The last two years have been intense for The Cliks. After the 2007 release of Snakehouse, the band took part in two editions of the queer-friendly True Colours tour (singer/guitarist Lucas Silveira is a transman, while bassist Jen Benton and drummer Morgan Doctor identify as queer), which included Cyndi Lauper, Rufus Wainwright, Tegan And Sara,...

There's nothing as catchy here as "Oh Yeah" from the Toronto band's last album, and I prefer the similar Hunter Valentine, but there's nothing wrong with this record.
