Formed four days before a New Years Eve gig, Blackberry Wood is an intermittent collective of 2-8 eccentric musicians who have mixed alt-country twang, ragtime sass, and big top class to create their latest release, Travelling Horse Opry.

WOODHANDS: ROOMBAS AND DISS-TRACKS MAKE FOR GOOD INDIETRONICA

In town to promote their new album Remorsecapade, and preview their participation in Canadian Music Week, Woodhands find some time to discuss immature antics, insulting songs, and a burning desire to bang on their expensive toys like a pair of unrepentant toddlers.

HENRY ROLLINS: HE’S A MAD, MAD, MAD, MAD WORLD TRAVELLER

Henry Rollins may have slowed down the pace of his musical career, but that doesn’t mean that he’s been at a standstill. A constant traveler, Rollins continues to accelerate between destinations, both literal and figurative.

Despite the darkened afternoon, complete with grey clouds, thick mists, and the promise of rain, Simple Plan’s rhythm guitarist was smiling from ear-to-ear. Participating in a self-empowerment workshop for 200 Toronto kids, Sebastien played a few tracks off his EP, You Are Here/Vous Êtes Ici. Lucid Forge had the chance to speak with the humble and animated Lefebvre at CBC’s Oh-la-la café to discuss music, fundraising and yes, strangers making out.

Adaline Interview Part 2: On Inspiration, Song-Writing and Tori

After seven years as a musician, Adaline has educated herself in various musical sounds and styles. This past spring, Adaline had the opportunity to see Tori Amos perform at South by Southwest the large (and celebrated) annual music festival in Austin, TX. “I really wanted to see her because I was getting so many comparisons,” says Adaline. “It was the most amazing experience.” She now appreciates the similarities between herself and Amos, but Adaline makes her own comparison to Canadian chanteuse Sarah Slean. “We’re all very passionate in the way we perform and write,” she states, “and that passion is what people sense. We’re very dramatic.”

Adaline: Famous For Fire And Great Songs

West Coast singer/songwriter Adaline might have a beautiful voice, soulful music, and fierce musical chops, but it was a chance encounter with Twilight star Robert Pattinson a JunoFest party in late March that got her noticed.
