REVIEW: Blue Rodeo – Daze In America (1995 promo EP)

BLUE RODEO – Daze In America (1995 Discovery Records promo CD) Blue Rodeo have a number of promo-only releases of great value to fans.  There’s the The Live CFNY Concert for one.  “Diamonds in the Rough” / Demos and Other Stuff….. is another.  Perhaps the most superb of them was 1995’s Daze In America CD, including five live songs but never released to retail on any Blue Rodeo album or…

Alt-Pop Singer And Producer Maïa Davies Shares “Isn’t Love Everything” from Lovers’ Gothic LP

For the past four years, the award-winning, JUNO-nominated, SOCAN #1 bilingual Canadian songwriter, recording artist and producer Maïa Davies has been on a stubbornly unwavering mission of deep musical and self-discovery.

Born in Montreal, Davies has devoted the vast majority of her life to the craft of music. Getting her start in the Warner Music signed folk band Ladies of the Canyon, she has released two solo albums in French and penned over 12 top ten commercial radio hits for Canadian music artists, including Mother Mother and Serena Ryder.

The Lovers’ Gothic LP is a chronological storyboard of the artist’s emotional journey in song. The new full-length by Davies is a compilation of compositions that best encompass the visceral throughline of her euphoria, heartache, abuse, self-actualization and acceptance—a concept she jokingly now refers to as the stages of relationship grief. She recorded the album in 12 different studios across the country, with the help of a large cast of co-producers and star musicians including drummers Jimmy Paxson (Stevie Nicks) and Glenn Milchem (Blue Rodeo), as well as new producer collaborators Marcus Paquin (Begonia, The National) and Erin Costelo (Kaïa Kater).

After cycling through many stages of grief and mourning after a toxic relationship, Davies had a moment—whether you call it weakness or strength—of remembering and honoring the love that had been. In the focus track, “Isn’t Love Everything,” Davies honours her immense capacity to love, with her whole person, knowing that no matter how it ended, she was true to herself and giving with her heart.

Review: Saturday Night at This Ain’t Hollywood

Band: Not Of

Support: Future Now & Mount Cyanide

Venue: This Ain’t Hollywood

Date: Feb 2, 2019

While most parents of young children were settling in for the night, a group of Rock Dads was gathering at This Ain't Hollywood to start their Saturday night. Let me tell you about it.

By looking at the lit marquee or the poster, you'd assume all the bands on the bill were less known: Mount Cyanide, Future Now and Not Of.  A second look at the poster or a quick Google search will reveal the masterminds behind those bands. It makes sense. The legendary Hamilton is known for hosting low key shows of big-name acts (Anvil, Monster Truck and the Arkell's...if you're into pop rock).

Mount Cyanide

Mount Cyanide is a new black metal supertrio formed by the members of Biblical and The Illuminati (Nick Sewell, Jim Gering, Christopher Blackwell). I walked into the venue as they were hitting the stage, and right away I was struck by the incredible sound mix. Instead of the deafening sound that is synonymous with metal, the mix was balanced and clear. Let's face it, a lot of sound guys in indie venues are deaf, but not at This Ain't Hollywood.

Mount Cyanide's music follows the blueprints of black metal: double kick drums, low roaring vocals, heavily distorted guitars...but with a noticeably distorted bass guitar. The most enjoyable part of their music was the prog rock and early metal influences throughout.

Instead of seasoned metal heads or teenagers in black hoodies, the audience was mostly musicians, producers, venue operators, music journalists and even guitar makers. The music was extremely well received.

Future Now

Another supergroup owned the coveted middle spot. Future Now is Ian Blurton's new band. For this venture, he recruited to Aaron Goldstein (guitars), Anna Ruddick (bass), and Glenn Milchem (drums).

For those who don't recognize the names, all you should know is that they are the most sought after session musicians in Canada. Aaron Goldstein's fingerprint is on three albums nominated at this year's Junos. Anna Ruddick is credited on albums by Wintersleep, Randy Backman, Spencer Burton. Two days from now, she'll be playing alongside Terra Lightfoot here in Hamilton. Then there is Glenn Milchem, a restless drummer, best known for his work with Blue Rodeo and Holy F**k.

Four virtuosos on stage can either be mind-blowing or disastrous, but thankfully, in this case, it was the former. Ian's leadership was clear from the moment he walked on stage. While band member played intricate parts that formed a wall of sound, they never overshadowed Ian's guitar riffs — focused around mid tones that cut right through.

Many of the musicians in the crowd were fascinated by the elaborate yet contagious riffs. The packed house couldn't stop headbanging, foot tapping or playing the air guitar.

In between songs, Ian commented on the faint sound of music coming from upstairs. Someone yelled, "It'sThe Arkell's practicing upstairs!" He was not impressed with whoever was playing upstairs and seemed somewhat confused. Perhaps he didn't know who the Arkell's are. Maybe he doesn't need to know.

Not Of

The headliner was Not Of, Toronto's hottest rock duo led by Broken Social Scene's John Crossingham. Although they call themselves noise rock, their sound was more melodic than expected, which kept it exciting. Think early punk (Stooges, Talking Head) mixed with 2000's rock (Black Keys, White Stripes, The Vines) and a little early Green Day.

A veteran rock fan at the bar turned to me and commented: "I guess you don't always need a bass to play Rock." She quickly followed up with "I mean, The Doors didn't have a bass player." And she wasn't wrong. Not Of didn't need a bass player to rock the house.

As a seasoned concert goer, I keep a handful of earplugs in my car — but I forgot to grab a pair on Saturday. While not extremely loud, the night lasted more than three hours. My ears are still ringing, and if it's a sign of impending hearing loss,  it makes sense I'd record these memories. Was it worth it? I'd say it was an unforgettable night.
