Local Only #5: Bears Attack! Bears Attack!, a drum and bass duo from Saskatoon, chat about being young, Kyle Riabko, and the effects of Subway upon a night's performance.
The Vans Warped Tour makes its debut at the Credit Union Centre in Saskatoon on August 5, 2008 with over 50 bands and featuring such acts as Angels and Airwaves, Relient K, The Academy Is..., Say Anything, Gym Class Heroes, and many more!
The Star Wars movies weren’t that great of a series if you consider they have roughly a 50% track record – which is still better than the Rocky series (low blow!). However, Star Wars has irrevocably touched peoples’ lives in a way that they are emulating – or just plain biting – the movies in their own creative endeavours.
Coheed and Cambria is a millennium falcon of a band – they don’t always work out and they are ridiculous to look at. Yet they have created a veritable marketing scheme in the same way that Star Wars hawked chicken bucket lids with ugly aliens (and uglier humans) on them. The prog-metal band is the proud parents of toys, comic books and a legacy of music that apes Star Wars to an embarrassing degree. Of course, if you look past that, the New York-based band actually has some pretty catchy songs.
With their latest album, No World For Tomorrow, Coheed and Cambria have concluded their running story about the Amory Wars, which fans can also follow along in a comic book (and play with their new Claudio Sanchez figurine to boot!). Of course live, the epic prog-opera falls short of making any sense (did it ever?) but viewing saucy hair-whips is always delicious.
The Hives latest release is a certain dichotomy of forms, past and present. The name rings true as the weave through two distinct styles through the course of the album's 14 tracks and 45 minutes.
The opening few tracks hold the weakest song, opening single “Tick Tick Boom” starts strong but fails miserably at the hook, and the standard Hives formula of clanging chords and hoarse, tongue in cheek, shouty vocals take over and permeate the following two tracks. It’s not till the bar room swagger of pirate shanty “Well Alright” that we see any curious instrumental and vocal progression in the sound of the group from albums past. Howlin’ Pelle channels Wolf Parades Spencer Krug, and the tempo and clatter are comparable.
Welcome to the all new sixth revision of Threeohsix.org, built upon an entirely new backend platform and sporting a clean, minimalist design so that artwork can be featured in articles, rather than in the design itself. While many features planned did not make it in our initial launch, they will be added over the next few days and weeks as more time is spent improving the site and old articles are imported back in.
Please feel free to send us your comments and we hope you can make it to our Launch Party Beer Night to be held on Saturday, May 17th at Winston's Pub!
I once broke up with someone because I thought my band was more important than her.
Dating on and off long-distance for over a year, we (she) decided to put all our chips on red and hope for the best – we got a tiny house and moved our stuff, and ourselves, in. And, like three or four beers in the morning, it seemed like a good idea at the time. Hindsight, friends, is golden.
Whether it was seeing the Italian Stallion at the Broadway Theatre earlier that night or walking out on another band I was supposed to interview, finding two members of Ride ‘til Dawn tasting the variety of beer at a local pub seemed as though the cosmos were giving me a second chance to make myself feel less sleazy.
Hiding in a back alley with a tape recorder and cigarettes, these fine young men told me of new changes in the music, new changes to their name, beer, Kim Mitchell and their new record, which will be released May 1st @ Amigo’s Cantina.
Regina area teenager goes on tour to fight back against cancer!
