Good morning everyone! I hope all is well. I am not kidding when I say that I have a jam-packed National Hum show for you today.
As some of you already know, I attended the music industry showcase/schmoozefest, M for Montreal over the weekend. But did you also know that I came back with many, many interviews? Interviews that I'll be featuring all throughout today's show? Here's who you'll hear from:
Graham Van Pelt of Miracle Fortress and I discuss lights and his amp being stolen! Miracle Fortress
Rural Alberta Advantage give us a before-and-after look at playing M for Montreal!
RAA
&
RRA #2
The Luyas discuss their confusing love for Silver Speakers (who they don't know), not Silver Starling (who they actually do love)!
Luyas
Engineer/musician Howard Bilerman insists that I pose in a group photograph with some of his accomplished colleagues and a self-important music management guy who spoke more on a panel about the role of producers today than the assembled producers themselves! Howard
Two Hours Traffic want the world, or at least a secret Santa gift exchange! THT
Mark Berube doesn't want the world--he's already lived in every part of it! MB
Fucked Up and I reminisce about how little sense was made when they were on the Breakfast Club! FU
You Say Party! We Say Die! have the most ridiculous schedule ever! YSP!
And La patère rose engage in the first English interview of their career! With me! A guy who mangles the language all the time! La patere rose
So, that's the show! Please enjoy and let me know what you think.
What musical developments, local or otherwise, are you most psyched about in the next little while? Do you enjoy 'road shows' like today's episode? I hope so because I have another one for you tomorrow....
