Took a few days off, went home to Cape Breton, have some posts ready to go for Tuesday - fun!!
Good night - I need a good night sleep.
Prince Edward Island’s Two Hours Traffic, whose music was previously heard on episodes of the soapy dramas Ghost Whisperer, One Tree Hill, The O.C., and Whistler, has landed a song on the soundtrack to the Hollywood romantic comedy In the Land of Women. Oddly enough, this film is directed by Jon Kasdan, the brother of Jake Kasdan who directed the film I mentioned here that recently featured Joel Plaskett’s tune Television Set. Joel Plaskett happened to produce Two Hours Traffic’s debut self-titled full length release in 2005.
She has the cover of the Coast this week
Was in the Herald yesterday… Check out Jenn Grant performing “In a brown house” on Halifax’s premier live show Pop In Sessions. It’s only week two, and Orchestra For The Moon has shot up to #18 on the National Canadian Campus Charts. Oh and she has a CD release show on Friday:

Over 200 outtakes, remixes and everything else you can think off.
From the article:
When I was researching info for starting a label I found Fat Cat’s site and while lacking in info for this side of the Atlantic I was as taken with the idea and their desire to try and provide info for others who would follow in their steps as much as I was by the info available. Their sharing, and listening to, all demos received is also a commendable quality for independent labels to consider. ——————————————————————————– One of the funnest and most informative resources I came across for info on starting a label was actually via online music retailer Insound’s site. Their Featured Label section [under Labels in the navigation their site] features a series of interviews with literally hundreds of labels that have releases available via Insound. You get a great sense of what the people behind the labels are all about based on their responses [some are great, some don’t seem to care about the interviews apparently]. Beyond being entertaining the interviews are also extremely informative with questions including:
Definitely worth checking out for some great insight and good stories for anyone interested in starting a label or wondering about running one in general.

Thursday April 26th Laura Peek and the Winnning Hearts Laura will be joined by some great guest musicians during her set including Mike O’Neill, Charles Austin, and Brian O’Reilly during the evening. Sue Carter Flinn talked to Laura last week for the Coast too. EDIT: Here’s an interview from the Herald as well. What else can you expect?
We have some of the sharp looking [just sounds ok*] VKNGS 12″s The also sharp looking A History Of debut EP Victory Atlas is now here - Paul Hammond did a very nice layout on that one [I have some posts in the works regarding design and music - Paul is just one local talent that shines in his designs for local bands] And it was no scene day here as we got some of everything in:
* I kid Jim
And in fine style I failed to notice. Been extremely busy lately, essentially in the process of deciding what I’ll be up to for the next few years exactly [it’ll be music + business/entrepreneurial related [?] but which opportunities actually unfold is the question]. Plus dealing with stuff already happening. While busy I’m am honestly thankful I will never have to ever say I am bored again - and that’s a great thing. Another great thing I’m thankful for is the continued support of the many bands and musicians who have been coming here since we opened and continue to discover the space. (more…)

The White Stripes are embarking on a Canadian tour (that’s the ten provinces and three territories…a possible revelation to some upper Canadian and West Coast bands).
Check out the band’s tour page for more info. Note: I heard that Jack White (originally a Gillis) has family connections in Antigonish…where is the Chuggles show? |
