Songs For The Gang: Thrush Hermit Tribute

in
By Aaron Brophy (CHARTattack) July 1, 2008 12:02 pm
Joel Plaskett is well enough established these days that we don't have to worry about him not being able to afford food 'n' shelter 'n' shit, so now feels about the right time for the greater collective to start mythologizing his previous band, Thrush Hermit. This Gooseberry tribute album is a solid start. It collects Hermit contemporaries (Galore...

One Scene To Another Compilation

in
By Matt Semansky (CHARTattack) April 5, 2005 9:46 am
A compilation featuring 16 Motor City bands re-interpreting Canadian indie classics, One Scene To Another is decidedly listless for a project supposedly driven by fan-like enthusiasm. Tiny Steps takes a spirited shot at The Super Friendz’s "10 Lbs" and Mood Elevator channels the rave-up energy of Sloan’s "Money City Maniacs"...

You kids have it so good these days, what with owning your own glockenspiels and having thousands of Facebook friends you can call on to gang-sing in your viral video campaigns and such.There was a time, though, when being a Canadian rock 'n' roller wasn't so easy. Back in the '80s and '90s, if you weren't Kim Mitchell you had to learn to hunt as...

Thrush Hermit Prove Themselves Sweet Heartbreakers

By Sarah Kurchak (CHARTattack) March 29, 2010 10:53 am
Like most Canadian indie rockers who came of age in the '90s, I have a lot of history with Thrush Hermit. Not all of it's good. I was so thoroughly offended by their decision to play an entire set of Steve Miller Band covers at the Molson Amphitheatre in 1995 that I wrote a screeching tirade about it in my journal and called them "Suck...

Thrush Hermit Releasing Seven-Disc Box Set

in
By Kate Harper (CHARTattack) February 8, 2010 11:50 am
For 10 years, there was nothing on the Thrush Hermit releases front... mainly because the band had broken up. Now, since they're playing a reunion tour next month, there's a whole bunch. If you're new to Joel Plaskett's pre-solo/Emergency band or a long-time fan of the Halifax, N.S. indie rockers, you'll be interested to know they're re-releasing...

Lodge Of Inbred Hermit Super Friendz

By Aaron Brophy (CHARTattack) March 31, 2009 4:51 pm
The idea of an Inbreds-Thrush Hermit-Super Friendz east coast supergroup is no longer just the wild masturbatory fantasy of half of the CHARTattack writing staff. It's now a reality. The Lodge — made up of Mike O'Neill (The Inbreds), Charles Austin (The Super Friendz, Neuseiland), Cliff Gibb (Thrush Hermit) and Andrew Glencross (Neuseiland) —...

If you like Joel Plaskett and have major reservations about Camouflage Nights, you're a right-thinking person. It also means that you probably used to be into Thrush Hermit. While there are no imminent reunion plans, we can tell you about what might be the next best thing: a Thrush Hermit tribute album. Songs For The Gang Thrush Hermit Tribute...

Camouflage Nights, the dance-rock duo of Rob Benvie and Ian McGettigan, will release their debut LP this summer. The former Thrush Hermit members have reportedly been sitting on an album's worth of tracks featuring collaborations with the likes of Buck 65, Feist and Matt Murphy since 2004. In the three years that Benvie and McGettigan have...
