THEMUSEUM Secures Third And Final Canadian Stop For Rolling Stones | UNZIPPED

After a successful run in London, New York, Sydney and Tokyo, The Rolling Stones | UNZIPPED international tour will roll into Halifax’s Steele Wheels Motor Museum for a three-month run.

The Rolling Stones | UNZIPPED will be on display at Steele Wheels in Halifax from Dec. 17 to March 19 before returning home to London, England.

“We are excited to have secured the Canadian rights to The Rolling Stones | UNZIPPED tour, and I can’t think of a more deserving city than Halifax to host the final stop on the tour! Their proximity to all Atlantic Canada and the great team at Steele Wheels will make this a huge success,” said David Marskell, CEO THEMUSEUM, Kitchener.

“Steele Wheels is the newest event space in Nova Scotia and ultimately will become the Steele Wheels Motor Museum. We couldn’t pass up the opportunity to first host the world-class exhibition UNZIPPED to help kick off our space,” said Rob Steele, CEO Steele Wheels.

As the first international exhibition by and about The Rolling Stones, UNZIPPED provides visitors with the opportunity to relive the cultural phenomenon of the world’s greatest rock band and experience their legacy as the band that built rock and roll. The exhibition boasts more than 300 original objects from the Stones’ personal collection, including a realistic reconstruction of their Chelsea flat ‘Edith Grove.’ Along with instruments and stage designs, rare audio fragments, video footage, personal diaries, iconic costumes, posters, and album covers, the exhibition concludes with a mind-blowing three-dimensional Rolling Stones concert for visitors to experience.

In the Rolling Stones’ 60-year journey, the band has produced 30 studio albums, 33 live albums, 29 compilation albums and 32 box sets. The band was ranked second on Billboard magazine’s “Greatest Artists of All Time” and fourth on Rolling Stones magazine list of “Greatest Artists.” The Rolling Stones was one of the first bands to write their own music, which combined inspiration from blues, pop, and rock. Throughout the decades, the band has continued to evolve and release new music that continues to inspire artists today.

The immersive exhibit will run Sunday to Thursday 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Friday, Saturday 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. beginning Dec. 17, 2022, with the last ticket of the day available for purchase an hour before closing time.

Introducing Nonso Amadi | DSCVR Artists To Watch 2023

“Travel turns you into a storyteller” goes the old adage, and these wise words epitomize the artistry of Nonso Amadi. As a college student, the Nigerian-born singer/songwriter/producer’s first adventure was a move from his home country to the UK. As music nudged its way to the forefront of his life, this restless Mary J. Blige and Paul Play fan ultimately settled in Canada, where Toronto’s influential R&B scene provided fertile ground for deeper artistic growth. Ultimately, Nonso’s globetrotting helped nurture his core goal: to fuse Western groove music with trad African sounds, rhythms, and vibes. “I want to make great songs that tell my story,” says the “Tonight” singer. That irresistible 2016 track got passed around in Afro-R&B circles, its gauzy synths, delicate dembow riddim, and celestial vocals crafting a template for Nonso’s future output. As the decade ended, Afropop and Alté had reached a groundswell in Nigeria. Nonso’s name was in lots of mouths back home. His ‘Free’ EP fueled the fire. Tracks such as “No Crime” and “What Makes You Sure?” emphasized lyrical honesty and softly-woven textures. Afrobeats titan Mr. Eazi hopped on “Go Outside” further cementing Nonso’s cred. By 2020, he had racked up more than 100 million streams across music platforms. Wisely, he has guided his ascent on the other side of the Atlantic with tranquility and deliberateness. “I’ve always wanted to be a bridge connecting African music and to the rest of the world,” he said about the importance of being part of our Artists to Watch 2023 class. When Nonso tells his stories, you can’t help but stop what you’re doing and listen.

Reggae Legends Serani and Gyptian Bring Heat With Debut Dancehall Party Anthem “She Got It”

We may be barreling towards winter, but Gyptian and Serani are still dropping heat to keep you dancing with their newest dancehall smash hit, “She Got It.”

Smooth reggae guitar licks and heartfelt dancehall rhythms keep fans coming back for more as these Billboard-charting reggae connoisseurs debut their newest single produced by Trizo of Konsequence Muzik and distributed by ONErpm Afro-Caribbean.

“She Got It” is a feel-good banger meant to infect listeners with inescapable urges to dance and pull a partner close. The composition and production of Gyptian and Serani’s work is professional at best, with “She Got It” serving as proof that you can mix business and pleasure.

“The beat sounded happy and Gyptian and I went straight to vibing,” Serani recalls as he looks back on the production process. “We went in the studio with a direct plan to make a song for our fans. We thought it be great doing a happy party song for them.

The group worked alongside Tahj Chief engineer at Konsequence Studio, who provided the foundation upon which Gyptian and Serani crafted a seemingly perfect party anthem.

Gyptian talks about the group’s time together, saying “Tahj Chief engineer was in the studio working on a beat; just a regular night doing music when a few ideas started coming to him. It wasn’t long before Platinum recording artist Serani walked in on the session.”

Gyptian continues his praises for Serani, saying “We all know he’s no stranger to productions, so we asked for his input towards the beat. From there the rest is history.”

While Gyptian and Serani’s chemistry together is undeniable, the two have prolific music careers.

Gyptian was born Windel Beneto Edwards in King Weston district in the parish of St. Andrew. Driven by his parents to pursue his passion for music, Gyptian was sharpened his vocal skills at small concerts. Gyptian first stepped into the limelight with the release of his 2005 mega hit, “Serious Times, making it as the biggest reggae hit of 2005/2006. Gyptian was nominated as Best New Reggae Artist and Named World Music Awards held at New York City’s legendary Apollo Theater.

At home, Gyptian was cited as the Best New Artist of 2005 by the Jamaica Observer newspaper, and “Serious Times” tied with Damian Marley’s “Welcome to Jamrock” for the Daily’s Song of the Year honors.

Gyptian has released other smashing hits such as “Keep Your Calm,” “I Can Feel Your Pain,” and “Love Against The Wall.” Driven by a desire to bring back the reggae market, saying “Since the Bob Marley days, no reggae artist really go out and sell a million copies. So, I am trying to bring life back to reggae music – Bob Marley was just a man like me so I use him as a landmark for what I am trying to achieve.”

Craig Serani Marsh, known professionally as Serani, was born in Kingston Jamaica. Serani’s musical journey started as a child when his mother bought him a melodica, known as “the blown organ,” after he was influenced by Reggae legend Augustus Pablo.

Serani found success in the Jamaican music scene during the mid-2000s, co-producing hits such as Sean Paul’s Billboard-topping “We Be Burning” and Tony Matterhorn’s “Dutty Whine” – the head-spinning, waist-whining dance immortalized by Beyonce and arguably one of the internet’s first viral challenges.

Serani went on to oversee the production for Dancehall icon Mavado in the Gully God’s formative years. A duet with Mavado led to the release of “Dying,” a Dancehall smash that charted on Mavado’s debut album Gansta for Life: The Symphony of David Brooks. The song was also sampled for Drake’s mega-platinum album Views on the song “9.”

A slew of Dancehall staples such as “Skip to My LuLu,” “Doh,” “Study People” and “Stinking Rich” led to an album deal with JVC in Japan and quickly established Serani as one of Jamaica’s top acts, sending him to become a major player in the genre for the last decade.

It wasn’t long before Serani struck gold on his own as an artist with the timeless Dancehall classic “No Games,” his biggest hit to date. It crushed the Billboard Hit R&B/Hip-Hop chart and led to him signing with Universal Records before settling into a joint venture with Phase One Network, a New Your-based label. To this day, “No Games” is a constant feature across US clubs and radio, present on iTunes and Spotify curated playlists.

In 2019 Serani received another major career boost as his track “Secret” was featured on Afrobeats superstar Burna Boy for his album African Giant. It also featured US star Jeremih and continues to have stadiums singing the track word for word wherever Burna performs.

Serani is currently working on several albums across different genres. He is determined to see his career continue to grow.

“My mission is to really get the world looking at Jamaica and Dancehall Reggae music again in its indigenous form,” says the triple-threat singer/producer/musician. “My thing is to sing Jamaican music, but mix it with a little pop, a little urban, and help people understand what I’m saying.”

The Otherness Calls For Young Rock And Roll Rebels In ‘A New Resistance’

The Otherness Calls For Young Rock And Roll Rebels In ‘A New Resistance’

Social media, constant internet connectivity, and a bottomless pit of not-so-reliable information always aimed at attention attraction are bringing the world to a boil. The Otherness calls for young cultural rebels to stand up and get loud in its latest single, “A New Resistance.”

The Argentine band now based in Berlin wrote the song by the end of its EU tour in 2021, inspired by the constantly unfolding events around them. The tour had been hamstrung by a COVID, and it seemed that nothing but chaos could be found.

Still, The Otherness considered it important to use its music to uplift and bring people together, not wallow in despair. The vocals and instrumentals in “A New Resistance” are delivered with positivity and delight, even if the lyrics themselves outline a grim reality.

“You are getting high on information, you know
And anxiety has taken over you
We float in a sad ghostly dimension, we go
Chasing fake news as obsessions, what shall we do?”

This sort of track isn’t out of character for The Otherness.

“This song entails the melodic side of our craft and also the hard-edged music and serious themes we address with pop tunes as a manifesto,” the band said.

“A New Resistance” is accompanied by a four-minute music video that shows two young people running through the rugged outdoors around La Patagonia, Argentina, the hometown of the band’s members. While the two hustle to embrace one another, everyone around them is entranced in their phones, too caught up in the flashing lights to acknowledge the breathtaking scenery surrounding the city.

“The video shows the hometown of the boys through beautiful landscapes – a take on the end of the world as most people don’t know it,” the band explained. “The poignant images of nature and the tweens on foot and on their way to meet each other represent the eternal bond music creates at that age and the fond memories we build together in life.”

The Otherness looks at the current paradigm with dismay, dejected by the monetization of information and the transform of the real into something contrived and commercialized. But the band doesn’t view the future with the same disdain. It’s possible for “A New Resistance” to emerge and topple the oppression of the “smart prison.”

“Rebellion, spontaneity, eccentricity, humor, curiosity, thoughtfulness, solidarity, creativity, imagination, free experimentation and risk,” the band said. “This expression is spiritual in nature and takes place in the consciousness and in the soul. This expression demands the best of us, since artificial intelligence will not solve our problems, it will simply exploit them. This expression is for freedom.”

Tortured Soul Wants You To “Take The Day Off” For Their New Album

Productivity is certainly the key to morale; however, sometimes you have to press pause and live out a fantasy. Much of this album is dedicated to the idea of playing hooky–and it’s much more fun to play hooky with a partner in crime than to go it alone. Let Tortured Soul be your “bad” influence. Let it be our fault that you decide to shirk your responsibilities for a bit. No judgement here. We advocate guilt-free hedonism for a day, or two.

That being said, descending too far into the depths of hedonism has its consequences. It can make you emotionally weak, cause unnecessary anguish, and make you fixate on a reality that doesn’t actually exist, so beware of spiraling out of control. Keep your wits about you, and a day off could do magic for your soul. And guess what? Taking a chance and taking that day off with us might just be a springboard for an exciting new relationship! Or a new chapter in a long-standing one…

Champagne anyone?

Take the Day Off by Tortured Soul will be available on November 25th, 2022 from Tstc Music through Slammin Media, and distributed by Believe Distribution.

CARAS to induct Nickelback into the Canadian Music Hall of Fame at The JUNO Awards

The Canadian Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences (CARAS) and CBC announced today that globally renowned rock band Nickelback will be inducted into the Canadian Music Hall of Fame as part of The 2023 JUNO Awards. The news was shared during a press conference at Rogers Place in Edmonton, where next year’s award show will be held.

Taking place in Nickelback’s home province of Alberta on Monday, March 13, 2023, the ceremony will appear on the JUNO Awards Broadcast, produced by Insight Productions. It will also stream live across Canada, at 6 p.m. MT/8 p.m. ET on CBC TV, CBC Gem, CBC Radio One, CBC Music, CBC Listen, and globally at CBCMusic.ca/junos and CBC Music’s Facebook, YouTube and Twitter pages.

Comprised of Chad Kroeger, Mike Kroeger, Ryan Peake and Daniel Adair, Nickelback is no stranger to the JUNOS stage. Since winning their first-ever JUNO award in 2001 for Best New Group, Nickelback has won a total of 12 awards spanning seven categories including Album of the Year, Rock Album of the Year, JUNO Fan Choice, Single of the Year, Songwriter of the Year, Producer of the Year and Group of the Year. The band’s upcoming performance on the Broadcast will be their sixth performance on the show, having previously performed in Newfoundland (2002), Edmonton (2004),  Halifax (2006), Vancouver (2009) and Ottawa (2012).

With a list of accolades that includes 23 chart-topping singles and more than 10 billion collective streams globally to date, Nickelback’s induction ceremony will look back at their 20+ year career and influence on rock music, in Canada and around the world. The festivities will also include a live performance from the band.

The Canadian Music Hall of Fame was established by CARAS in 1978 to acknowledge artists who have made an outstanding contribution to Canadian music, both nationally and globally. Nickelback will join the ranks of Canadian music icons spanning many genres including Deborah Cox, Alanis Morissette, Buffy Sainte-Marie, Barenaked Ladies, Jann Arden, Joni Mitchell, k.d. lang, Leonard Cohen, Neil Young, Oscar Peterson, RUSH, The Guess Who, The Tragically Hip, Sarah McLachlan and Shania Twain. The Canadian Music Hall of Fame has a permanent home within the National Music Centre situated inside Calgary’s Studio Bell. A new exhibition exploring Nickelback’s legacy will open on March 9, 2023. More details will be announced closer to its opening.

Nickelback’s continuously growing list of achievements includes many award-winning hit releases, such as “How You Remind Me,” “Photograph,” “Someday” and “Rockstar,” which have all received considerable global attention and allowed the band to remain at the forefront of the music scene in Canada and around the world. The diamond-certified quartet is one of the top-selling acts of all time, having sold out 12 consecutive tours and played for well over 10 million adoring fans worldwide.

“Returning home to Alberta, where everything started for us, is truly a full circle, milestone moment for the band,” said Chad Kroeger, Nickelback frontman. “We take so much pride in our Canadian roots and are extremely humbled by this honour.”

“A true Canadian success story, with 12 JUNO awards on their mantles already, Nickelback’s upcoming induction is a testament to the role they’ve played in shaping the country’s rock music history,” said Allan Reid, President & CEO, CARAS/The JUNO Awards. ”For more than two decades, we’ve watched them grow from a local indie band to globally renowned rockstars. On March 13, we’ll acknowledge how exceptional this career trajectory really is.”

Nickelback’s history dates back to 1995 in Hanna, Alberta, where they got their start playing covers in a band called Village Idiot, a nod to the small-town nature where they played and grew up. In 1996, Chad, alongside Ryan Peake, made the 10-hour trek west to follow Kroeger’s brother and bandmate, Mike, to Vancouver, British Columbia, where the band still resides and continues to make music today.

The band’s numerous smash hits, coupled with worldwide sales of over 50 million albums sold, seals their status as one of the top-selling acts of all time and the second best-selling foreign act of the 2000’s in the U.S., behind only The Beatles. The wildly popular smash hit, “How You Remind Me” was named Billboard’s ‘Top Rock Song of the Decade’, which was a contributing factor in the publication’s decision to crown Nickelback ‘Top Rock Group of the Decade’ shortly after.

Beyond their JUNO Awards, the group has received nine Grammy Award nominations, three American Music Awards, a World Music Award, a People’s Choice Award and seven MuchMusic Video Awards. They were inducted into Canada’s Walk of Fame in 2007.

Nickelback will debut their long-awaited tenth studio album, titled Get Rollin’ on November 18, 2022. This milestone album release was announced with the drop of the band’s chart-topping single, “San Quentin,” as well as their latest single, “Those Days,” which have both garnered nearly five million streams on Spotify since their release.

TD Bank Group (TD) presale for The 2023 JUNO Awards Broadcast runs today and until November 16 at 11:59 p.m. MT. Tickets to The 2023 JUNO Awards go on sale to the general public on November 18. They start at $49.00 (including tax plus fees) and are available at ticketmaster.ca/junos.

The WAEVE (Blur’s Graham Coxon and Rose Elinor Dougall) Set To Release Debut Album Feb 3

The WAEVE (Blur’s Graham Coxon and Rose Elinor Dougall) Set To Release Debut Album Feb 3

The tide is high. The time is nigh. And The Waeve is rolling in…

The Waeve is a new project featuring the duo of Graham Coxon and Rose Elinor Dougall. A liquid meeting of musical minds and talents. A powerful elixir of cinematic British folk-rock, post-punk, organic songwriting and freefall jamming. The Waeve strikes that magical English folk-rock alchemy of earth and ether. Heaviness and weightlessness. Darkness and light.

The Waeve swelled up after Graham and Rose met backstage at a London venue in late 2020. After exchanging playlists, they found they had plenty of common ground and musical kinships to explore. They began working on material and recording at Graham’s home studio in north London. The ten tracks on their debut album are the results of this intense collaboration, daring each other to write better and probe deeper.

Like a game of consequences, Waeve music is a conversation between two great songwriters getting to know each other during the surreal period of lockdown. Their first explorations opened up a sonic universe neither had expected to find. Initially drawing on a shared love of English folk music, storytelling and the associated landscapes of their beleaguered island, they discovered a shared need to shed themselves of poisons, heartbreaks and defeats through music. From the cocooned conditions of the Covid period, against a brutal global backdrop of impending apocalypse and despair, a body of work emerged, dreaming of escape in a widescreen wilderness. Songs such as the myth-soaked ‘Undine’ are narrated from the duo’s twin perspectives – exploring feminine strength and male vulnerability.

Joining creative forces in The Waeve gave the duo the opportunity to push past their instrumental comfort zones. Many tracks feature Graham on saxophones, the instrument he played in his first ever musical band with Blur’s Damon Albarn back in the 80s. ‘Can I Call You’ starts as a ballad then morphs into a krautrock-style motorik number with a sprawling Coxon guitar solo. ‘All Along’ features Graham on cittern, a medieval folk lute. Rose plays piano and an ARP 2000 modular synth. The heavy weather all over The Waeve recalls the blustery folk rock of Sandy Denny or John & Beverly Martyn, while tracks such as ‘Kill Me Again‘ and ‘Over and Over’ recall the 70s rock of Kevin Ayers or Van der Graaf Generator, almost industrial in places.

Graham Coxon is one of the acknowledged guitar heroes of his generation. His seminal contribution to Blur – as well as his nine solo albums since 1998 – goes without saying. This autumn sees the publication of his autobiography, Verse, Chorus, Monster! on Faber and Faber. Rose Elinor Dougall is a singer songwriter from London who has released three solo albums – the latest being A New Illusion (2019). She has also worked with Mark Ronson and Baxter Dury among others.
The duo play almost all the sounds on the album. Drums were added at James Ford’s home studio, and the Elysian Quartet added string parts at KONK Studios in Muswell Hill.

Tracklisting:
1. Can I Call You
2. Kill Me Again
3. Over And Over
4. Sleepwalking
5. Drowning
6. Someone Up There
7. All Along
8. Undine
9. Alone And Free
10. You’re All I Want To Know
