Nine Inch Nails Rule At Wave Goodbye Festival Appearance

By Aaron Brophy (CHARTattack) August 31, 2009 3:01 pm

Trent Reznor made like Clint Eastwood on Sunday, riding into Toronto to save Virgin Festival Ontario and then presumably to vanish and possibly never be heard from again. Although Reznor and his Nine Inch Nails posse didn't exactly paint the Molson Amphitheatre red and change its name to Hell like Eastwood did in High Plains Drifter, they...

By Shannon Webb-Campbell (CHARTattack) July 6, 2009 1:45 pm

It wouldn't be summer without a muddy festival on Citadel Hill. This past weekend Halifax hosted the inaugural Virgin Festival Nova Scotia, free of charge due to The Tragically Hip's last minute cancellation. Virgin headquarters sent out notice less than 24 hours before the show, which stated there was an unforeseeable family emergency that...

LOLA Festival Day Two

By Zack Vitiello (CHARTattack) September 22, 2008 11:47 am

I woke up ready for day two of the LOLA Festival feeling rejuvenated in the way that only the Do Make Say Think show the night before was capable of producing, so I packed some snacks and headed back to Victoria Park. I arrived just as Feuermusik were beginning their set. The experimental jazz outfit from Toronto seemed to be the perfect...

Plants And Animals — Parc Avenue

By Matt Littlefair (CHARTattack) February 26, 2008 4:03 pm

People might grab Montreal trio Plants And Animals' Parc Avenue because they reside on the much vaunted Secret City imprint, but it's their music that'll ensure the disc doesn't leave their stereo. Their adept confluence of melodious pop, post-rock and folk is further bolstered by the vocals shared by all three indelibly talented band members. The...

Plants And Animals Beat The Comfort Of Couch

By Matt Littlefair (CHARTattack) February 22, 2008 12:30 pm

There are those nights when the only thing in the world that seems appealing to me is the comfort of the couch I recently moved into my bedroom. I need to preface this with the fact that I do have a rather strong affinity for Plants And Animals, but the gravitational pull of that plush, brown, overstuffed wonder of Swedish design was proving a...

Plants And Animals play lo-fi, at times melancholic but...

We're sure your parents will be glad you're getting out of the house to see your favourite band, CKY, when they tour this fall. Just don't tell them CKY stands for Camp Kill Yourself. Alternative Press Amanda Palmer is probably laughing at Roadrunner and sticking her tongue out at them in addition to posing nude at their headquarters...
