Coming Up:
SylvieIt's been a good week for me hosting
Appetite for Distraction. Mostly because I haven't had to be in this toasty
studio talking to myself (I know someone's listening, but they aren't readily
in my line of vision). Yesterday
Jenn Grant joined me and today it's
Joel
Passmore and
Chris Notenboom of
Sylvie. The
Regina, Saskatchewan
band has a new release called
Trees and Shade Are Our Only Fences, a follow-up
to 2005's brilliant
An Electric Trace.
This time out there's one more to the
band, Joel's sister Erin and a release produced by a musical hero of the band:
J.
Robbins, the incredibly prolific artist from
Baltimore, Maryland.
We talk about all of that today on the
show; Joel and Chris join me for the first hour. And as well as their musical
stories, there's also some wisdom that comes from being in an indie band for so
long. This being the day to share the week's wisdom, I'll let the trench
fighters have their say.
