First there was “Kings and Queens” and now Blackie and the Rodeo have put 12 tracks kings on the table with their newest collaborative album “Kings and Kings”. Today we’ve got the album tracklisting, and a stream of Tom Wilson and City and Colour’s “Beautiful Scars”!
You may recognize the title from Wilson’s Lee Harvey Osmond album. Often one to take the road less traveled he wrote the song inspired by novelist Miriam Toews after the release of that record. Lucky for us that it provided the opportunity to collaborate with City and Colour!
The album will be released on CD and digital in Canada Oct.7th see below for the full track list and pre-order the album here.

I want to pour some of this in my morning coffee in hope that by drinking it I will become free enough to play a kazoo and work “hegemonic” into a poem.

Prologue: The Farmer's Daughter EP by WeAreBaker

I grew up in the south and when I left, I never looked back. While going to uni in Ga., I would make any excuse to go to NYC for a hour, day or weekend, like, NYC has stellar notebook paper... had I known that smart, sassy music was available, I might have stayed closer to home. These guys are sexy, smart and really good. There is something about the Baker name; Chet, Anita, and We Are Baker relay raw childlike innocence and no holds barred emotions. I have no idea where they are now, (no postings since August 2015) but if they aren’t playing the world is a little duller, and we need all the brightness we can muster.
New Site Coming Soon
The behind the scenes moments of a music label aren’t very exciting. For the most part we’re rarely hungover pencil pushers with a dress code that ranges from un-fireable software developer (Steve) to “I will fight you for those boots” (the ladies). So what tends to happen is we stop communicating what’s up because what’s up is usually, “I sent some emails about that thing!” That thing is either boring (new water cooler!), not yet a thing (courting artists), or a secret (new music!!!).
There’s a lot of all of the above going on in FU:M land right now. So much that we’ve got a new artisan website being crafted out of raw single source internet. It’s a long overdue upgrade and we can’t wait to have a new home for all of the schemes we’re scheming, and to continuously share this with you like an inept Bond villain.
But for the time being check out the new water cooler.
NEEDS came into the office one day and told us about their idea for this music video. We laughed at the absurdity, at the perfection of Sean Orr leading the stationary charge. I personally could not shake the image of him with a headless mic on.Â
After doing a hell of a job bringing the concept we gave him for “We Forgot The Records to Our Record Release Show” to life, I decided to toss this challenge at director Matt Leaf. His kid in a candy store eyes lit up and it was on.Â
The biggest challenge to making something like this a reality is of course getting the spin class. A single spin studio makes more than all of the world’s Smiths influenced indie bands combined*. Then there would be filling the studio with authentic spinners so it’s not just a bunch of friend/extras trying their darndest but failing to channel of the unicorn-like spirit animal that blesses all spinners.Â
It took some time, but miracle worker Matt Leaf not only found a studio we could shoot the video in, he found an actual class that was into the idea! Spin Society in Vancouver had a punk rock spin class and were totally down with having the band in to try and do their thing.Â
And do their thing they did. The video premiered less than 48 hours ago, and whatever happens next, the important thing is that they’ve already been turned into a gif.Â
Spin class is the perfect place to film a music video. http://t.co/LHokCVsefu pic.twitter.com/DdH5dfexxY

Happy Gang Signs Release Day!
It's a fittingly misty Fall day here in Vancouver for us to release Gang Signs' Geist ! While it was a blast to see the great reactions to the many tracks and videos we released throughout the summertime behind the scenes the sunshine plotted against us. A ludicrously hot Czech summer caused some delays in our vinyl order, but it finally arrived this week and is available now in our FU:M Bandcamp store. We've even got a super limited (less than 40 left) clear with gold splatter edition, as well as a clear, and black version for the traditionalists. The delay disrupted our distribution of vinyl Geist to record stores (CDs are out in the wild), so for now you can only get vinyl Geist directly from the band or in our FU:M store. We've even got a local pickup option setup for Vancouver!
If you are in Vancouver the band will be celebrating with a listening party and art show at Untitled Gallery tonight (Friday). Event details here. They're also getting ready for some touring:
Oct 14 - The Gateway - Calgary Oct 15 - Brixx - Edmonton Nov 4 - Lucky Bar - Victoria Nov 5 - Fortune Sound Club - Vancouver
Gallery: Slam Dunk @ The Commodore Ballroom - Vancouver, BC Date: July 25th, 2015 Photographed by: Quinn Middleton
The Permanent Rain Press took some amazing photos of Slam Dunk with special guest bassist Doug Martsch of Built to Spill! Click through and checkout the whole gallery!
From the first handclap on "Mate," you can tell exactly what Gang Signs are going for. The primal drums, the shadowy and minimalist instrumentation, the interplay between Peter Ricq and Matea Sarenac's vocals -- it's straight out of the xx's playbook, but it's executed so well that it doesn't matter if we've heard it all before. There's something about this kind of music that's inherently appealing; it has a tendency to steal you away to a different headspace. The way the guitars cascade upwards and on top of each other, the tension that comes with the repetition of certain lines. It's all about evoking a certain mood, and the Vancouver trio seem particularly adept at it. "Mate"'s from their upcoming debut full-length, Geist, and you should listen to it below. Geist is out 10/2 via File Under: Music.
Extremely excited to finally spill the beans on our latest act, Gang Signs! Check out the premiere of the video for their first single “Mate” from their forth coming full length LP “Geist”!
Blackie and the Rodeo Kings’ Tom Wilson (aka LeE HARVeY OsMOND) celebrated an anniversary the other day.
“40 years ago today I walked out of school forever, skipped town and began playing dives , festivals , coffeehouses, church basements from Detroit to Montreal. I gave it everything I had, I never asked for forgiveness, and 40 years later I have no regrets..“
One of the first things we did with NEEDS.
“Let’s film a live video the day after a show, and we’ll make everyone brunch!”
“Ummmmmm.... sure?”
And so the magic happened!
