Canadian bands worth a listen
This is just a list of a few really good artists from The Great White North. I live in a suburb of Vancouver,BC and saw one the best bands "we" have on Fri. but most likely are unknown to the American market.
-Matthew Good Band-Local,4 albums out,alt.rockers,intelligent lyrics,and a friend of mine!
-Sloan-Catchy hooks,great musicians,pop with an alt.vibe
-Tragically Hip-By far our most prolific,and successful band of the last decade. Amazing vocalist and frontman Gordon Downie writes some very esoteric spacey songs on occasion but live this band is brilliant.
-Blue Rodeo-Country/rockers with a legion of fans that rival "The Hip". Dual lead vocalists and a line up that includes ex-Wilco's former steel guitaristand a TIGHT rhythm section.Highly recommnded
-The Be Good Tanyas-I noticed that a few others are listening to their sophomore release "Chinatown" a superb album that showcases these 3 women delivering original songs and gems like "To Live Is To Fly" by Townes Van Zant. effortlessly and with their own wonderful delivery.
-Sam Roberts- Only a 6 song EP from this guy but it sounds great. A summer release is expected for his full-length CDGive some of these artists a listen,and with luck you'll see that The Barenaked Ladies aren't the only export we can offer!!!Regards,
