Did anyone else go see them play at the Civic Centre in Ottawa on Grey Cup Weekend? They were awesome!

Dakona is good too...they are from BC. Sort of an alt-rock band. They played at my frosh last year and then I saw them again when they came back to my university in the fall. You should sheck them out!

they're from saskatoon but have been in winnipeg the past couple yrs i think. prog-rock, think zappa and yes.

 

BLUE RODEO!!

 

WIDE MOUTH MASON!!!!!!! AHHAHAHA just jokin kids.. i forgot about them. hahah i like.. umm.. me. and ... jenna.. http://jennawhite.cjb.net
download her stuff... she's good.. and she was my next door neighbour till my whole life until 2 years ago!

 

Glad to see someone included The Tragically Hip in there somewhere.

Gord Downie and the boys are makin' a comeback w/ their new stuff.
Their ultimate best was the Tragically Hip: Live Between Us concert album.

Seriously. spark a spliff, bark the fifth, sit back and let the sound of that
album part your hair.

 

speakin of which, I just won an autographed Tragically Hip hockey jersey!!! entered a draw when I saw em play in london the other week and I fuckin won!!!

and ya, Live Inbetween Us, does fuckin own, I love that album, but nothin does it for me like day for night cranked to shit

 

I wanted to go to the London show, but I live 6 hours away.
Knew 3 friends that were there. and if you go to thehip.com there's a link to where you can download/buy the london show for 10 bucks. i'm gonna do it.

Yeah. Day for Night, loud , a two-four of blue and a saturday afternoon in the dorm.

 

No mention of Frank Marino & Mahogany Rush?
Also Crowbar and Lighthouse.

 

okay, the finest i;ve heard from our northern towns is The Arcade fire, from mont real

 

Montreal artists (that I know of) :

Jean Leloup
Dumas
The Unicorns
The Arcade Fire
Godspeed You Black Emperor
And the local rave scene, which is quite large

 

I've got to throw Po Girl into the mix...
shocked not to see Bif Naked on the list anywhere... she's a fun stage show

 

mmm propaghandi

i personally like rush and the tea party the best as far as canadian musicians go.

 

Mahogany frog does rock! I grew up with those kids. Another awsome band from saskatoon The Cracker Cats, all girl blue grass folk. Rant music is very good. Wasabi Collective from out west are really really awesome. Ember Swift rawks very ani-ish. The Jimmy Swift Band, very cool.

 

DOA
prism
the headpins
april wine
BTO
trooper
matthew good

 

propogandhi rocks, but the weakerthens? are you serious?
i saw them live for 5 bucks at a bar, and it wasn't worth it. he was the worst part of prop.

 

Gordon Lightfoot is amazing! Like a Canadian Bob Dylan. I am proud of Canada!
