    The Wooden Sky were on their way to play a show in San Francisco when their van was hit from behind. As frontman Gavin Gardiner waited at a repair shop just off the highway, he tried to stay positive.

  • Sloan rocks Louis’: Toronto band exceeds every expectation live in concert

    By September 21, 2012

    Oh, Sloan. I’ve loved their albums since I was a zitty-faced teen and I still love them now, as a 29-year-old scumbag.

  • Saskatoon bands nominated for Sirius Independent Canadian Music Awards

    By March 17, 2012

    The nominations have been announced for Sirius XM’s 12th Annual Independent Music Awards and several Saskatoon bands are nominated. The awards celebrate the best in the Canadian and International independent music scene. This gives artists and bands that normally don’t get quite as much recognition a time to shine. However, by independent, they mean artists like Feist and bands like Mother Mother, so do not expect your favorite obscure Canadian folk punk band to make an appearance.

  • Dear Nickleback: an open letter to the third-best band to ever come out of Hanna, Alberta

    By January 29, 2012

    I’ve been able to bottle it up until now. It has been boiling in the background, but I put a lid on it and let it be.

    When the lights go down and Jill Barber glides onto the stage of the Broadway Theatre, you could be excused for thinking you’re in a more glamorous place than Saskatoon in November.

    Barber cuts a striking figure. There is something both sensual and playful to her. She wears a delicate dress. She seems to have a sparkle in her eyes. But it’s her voice that really shines.

  • Organizers of the fast-growing Dutch festival Le Guess Who? inspired by Canadian sound

    By November 19, 2011

    Six years before #whothefuckisarcadefire trended on Twitter, music fans in the Netherlands were asking an equally pressing question: Le Guess Who? The answer has nothing to do with Bachman, Cummings and crew. It’s the name of a fresh and dynamic music festival, held annually in the city of Utrecht.

  • Canadian pop artist Lights talks about her icy new record and latest tour

    By November 18, 2011

    Her music might consistently burn up Canada’s radio charts, but Lights herself doesn’t shy away from how icy the music on her new record Siberia is.

    It’s named after one of the coldest places on Earth, after all.

  • Arcade Fire snag $30,000 Polaris Prize

    By September 20, 2011

    If they somehow didn’t have the indie cred before, Arcade Fire has now certainly solidified their top standing in the Canadian music world now.
