There are many great Canadian musicians. You don't have to be greedy. Really, there are. I'm drunk, but I'm right.

Are we to assume that that is in fact Mr. Pat Travers with his hand on your chestal area?  Because I'm doing damn good to remember who the hell Pat Travers was (is) at all, much less what he looks like.

Actually Pat Travers is about as Canadian as Neil Young.  He hasn't lived in Canada since he split for London at 17 years of age.  He's been living in Tampa Florida for the last 20 years or so.

I just got back from partying with some real Canadians, The Broken Social Scene from Toronto.  Dammit this show punished!

I thought Starlight might come out, but she didn't.  That's too bad, but you fucked up little sister, cause the Broken Social Scene were awesome.

Heh... I replied to your PM before reading threads...
well, I would've gone if I had had further notice and a ride... it takes forever for me to make plans, yo (the tragedy of not being able to drive).

Anyway, glad to know it was a good show ..nice pictures :)

Anyway, yeah there's a few good modern bands from Canada... The Weakerthans, Do Make Say Think, Godspeed You! Black Emperor... probably there's more in my collection, but that's off the top of my head :D

Broken Social Scene are indeed rad- I hope to end up seeing them as I live about 4 hours away from Toronto... I also like Godspeed You Black Emperor!, but I think the Weakerthans are teeerrrrible.  I saw them a few years ago as the opener's opener at a show, and I used to like Propagandhi, the band that spawned them, but eeugh.  Just not an emo person I guess.

Oh yeah, speaking of Godspeed.. forgot to mention A Silver Mt. Zion which I recently started listening to.  hm... well, their new EP 'Pretty Little Lightning Paw' I got off soulseek last week is good.

and as for The Weakerthans ...I don't think of them as emo :(
...I s'pose we all have our opinion on genres though... I just call it indie in general... don't go further than that.

JorgeFabregas - yessuh, I love their new one... it's called 'Reconstruction Site' though.

No one's mentioned this fine Canadian group...









It's the Tragically Hip, people.

Quintessential "We're all related up here!" Anecdote:

I've irrationally hated the Tragically Hip since the third grade because I had a French teacher who always wore shirts promoting them, as she was the guitarist's aunt...




And my art teacher is married to Bruce Cockburn's brother."
