Unwed Mothers (Edmonton, AB)- Blues, Indie, Rock)
Unwed Mothers (Edmonton, AB)- Blues, Indie, Rock The next stop was the Cadillac Lounge to take in a Canadian band, Unwed Mothers, whose name was neat and resonated with me as an unwed mother myself. The lead singer, Julie Adams,a petite woman with long hair told the crowd that she was here in the big city for the very first time. If she was finding the hustle and bustle of Toronto overwhelming…

Jordan Klassen
The El Mocambo was ON FIRE when Jordan Klassen hit the Stage!! Literally. They had to evacuate right after the first song. The evacuation went smoothly, and our cities firefighters showed a great response time. It was only a little kitchen fire though, so they checked to make sure it was out and then hopped back into one of the 8 fire engines out front and drove away. The whole thing took less…

Funeral Suits (Alternative) Music Review
Funeral Suits (Alternative) When this band took the stage, any assumptions about traditional Irish music went right out the window. Their first song confirmed what their punky/rock clothing said, as it was hardcore alternative. Stylistically, they were reminiscent of Nine Inch Nails, or Marilyn Manson, but with a uniqueness to their sound. The inclusion of keyboards added depth, and sometimes…

Delorentos (Alternative Indie Rock) CMW 2013
Delorentos (Alternative Indie Rock) I couldn’t help but love hearing that distinctive Dublin drawl so close to St. Patricks Day. The music wasn’t traditional, but it was fun and melodic. Though there was a taste of heavier alternative sneaking into the numbers, the music was mellow enough for an older crowd to still enjoy. Their tunes were catchy, both vocally and instrumentally, and pleasing to…

Coyote (PEI) Music Review
Coyote (PEI) My trusty photographer and I made our way up the stairs in a journey from one end of the country to the other. My experience thus far with East Coast music has been with bands primarily from Nova Scotia, and as my daughter has PEI blood, I was looking forward to seeing what the music from her daddy’s home would be like. It was great-upbeat, with that “East Coast” feel I have always…

AYOH (Chicago, IL, USA)- Alternative Rock
AYOH (Chicago, IL, USA)- Alternative Rock I had an issue with the CMW Gig guide regarding a lack of information promoting when this band would actually be playing. I understand that the lineup isn’t always finalized on time, and that there are little surprise appearances here and there, but it puts bands like this one at a disadvantage. The guide listed the band, and the little mini-bio, as…
