Someone actually said Celine Dion???

With all the hits that the Jane Child thread has gotten recently, I thought she would have been posted here already.

That's a pretty old pic. Half of those girls aren't in the band anymore.

I haven't heard them, but The New Pornographers should sue them for trademark infringement.

Dream Warriors - Top class

JANFAN4L said:

I'm assuming you mean the new pornographers - and yes, they're eminently fantastic. Seventies-style power pop with crunchy guitars, splashy keyboards, sunny harmonies and infectious songs. Letter From an Occupant is one of the more addictive songs you're ever going to hear, and The Laws Have Changed is almost as good. They're one of the few Canadian bands of recent years that I'm completely, thoroughly enthusiastic about.

I actually think Canadian music is depressingly mediocre, at least from the p.o.v. of the music I like - indie rock, pure pop, that kinda thing. If you compare us to Australia/New Zealand (a reasonably equivalent match going by population sizes and economies) and consider the innovative and excellent bands they've produced (Go-betweens, Triffids, The Clean, The Chills, The Bats...), Canada comes off quite poorly, I think...

COREY HART!!!!!

I was at a show and we were talking about artists from Canada (yes, because of this thread*!). It was loud and we both were yelling in each other's ear.

Person #1: Have you heard of the [incomprehensible]-ornograph--?

JANFAN4L: Say what?!

Person #1: [incomprehensible] PORNOGRAPH--*!

JANFAN4L: Say that again. I'm sorry it's really loud in here.

Person #1: [sounded like] PORNOGRAPHY*! THE NEW NEW PORNOGRAPHY*! PORNOGRAPHY*! CHECK THEM OUT.

JANFAN4L: [still didn't understand] OHH, YEAH, OK*! ::changes subject::

JANFAN4L said:

I thought that was whom you meant.

I have their last album and damosuzuki's description is right on. A few of them also did production work on fellow Canadians, Tegan and Sara's latest album to give it a similar sounding new wave-indie-power pop sound.

Fallon was the first to leave Kittie because of the rough life on the road. And even today (as R&R history shows), It's very difficult for an all-female rock band to stay together. Too many women problems (egos, PMS, etc.) can ruin success easily in this music industry.

Robin Fucking Black!

theAudience said:

Actually, 4 of the 5 members were Canadian (Levon Helm was the sole American).

TonyVanDam said:

hey now, that's not fair. That's any band really. Oh my god...egos? I think more men deal with the whole egos issue.

AnckSuNamun said:

Guns N Roses, The Eagles & Motley Crue lasted A LOT longer than Kittie did. And certain members of THOSE male bands really hated each others guts!!!

taking a little side step to the Jazz side of things, I always termendously enjoyed the albums and concerts of Maynard Fergusson

've heard this brotha's stuff on the indie lable and its cool. However, I found that they're were only a few good cuts on his US released album. This brotha needs better material. Also, he needs to stop trying to jock Steve's 70's sound.

TonyVanDam said:

they were a lot bigger than Kittie too. Money will keep you together longer, you know.

origmnd said:

Thank You.

TonyVanDam said:

The Donnas have been together longer than Guns N Roses with no lineup changes. How do you explain that?

sextonseven said:

Good communication between the band members. Everyone get their money on time. No egos (for now!!!).

AnckSuNamun said:

...and too much money can break you apart! Just ask The Beatles.

Peaches,
K-OS,
and Nelly Furtado
