Sam Roberts Band Bassist Battles Horrific Infection, Barely Escapes Amputation

  • Posted on Jul 28th 2011 4:00PM by Karen Bliss
Oopey Mason It looks like a prop from a horror movie, but the photo Sam Roberts Band bassist James Hall posted of his arm on his personal Facebook page is very real.

Lindi Ortega Finds Inspiration From Singing Backup for Brandon Flowers

  • Posted on Jun 24th 2011 1:00PM by Karen Bliss
Last Gang Records Lindi Ortega might call her music alt-country, but it's more mourn-country: fabulously dark, playful and cool. The Toronto singer-guitarist first reaped accolades from the four-song 'Drifter EP,' released on iTunes in 2008 and widespread in 2009 on Interscope/Cherrytree.

  • Posted on May 24th 2011 4:30PM by Karen Bliss

  • Posted on May 13th 2011 2:00PM by Karen Bliss
Universal Music Canada Sam Roberts Band's new album, 'Collider,' is a rhythmic, sax-injected rock 'n' roll expedition. Their rock has always been vibey, enabling Roberts and bandmates guitarist Dave "Nuge" Nugent, guitarist/keyboardist Eric Fares, bassist James Hall and drummer Josh Trager to trip the songs out live. The album was produced in ...

Jill Barber Basks in Indie Rock Glow Despite Diana Krall-Like Sensibilities

  • Posted on May 9th 2011 11:00AM by Karen Bliss
Ivan Otis Jill Barber would not be out of place on a bill with Diana Krall or any number of jazz artists. Yet this sultry singer, whose music conjures up a bygone era of long gowns, elegant ballrooms and Clark Gable romance, is embraced by the indie rock world.

Nicole Atkins Has 'Mondo Amore' for Canadian Friends Like Feist

  • Posted on Jan 26th 2011 12:00PM by Karen Bliss
Gary Wolstenholme, Redferns In a roundabout way, if wasn't for an opportunity to sing with Canada's Feist, Nicole Atkins may not have got back up on her feet so quickly and into a recording studio to make her new album, 'Mondo Amore.'
