Here, in a show that celebrated ten years of Polaris, Owen Pallett makes his solo Massey Hall debut and highlights his incredible musical catalogue.

John Mayer at The Air Canada Centre

A wave of anticipation buzzed throughout the Air Canada Centre, captivating the sold out audience from the very first note of “Belief” to the very last note of “You’re Gonna Live Forever In Me”. It has been quite some time since John Mayer has graced a Toronto stage and the fans couldn’t have been any more appreciative. John stepped out on stage to deafening screams and started off the night with “Belief” from his album Continuum. The backline (drums etc) were all on risers with rollers which made it easily moveable as the night was broken up into chapters, a timeline if you will, over the various periods of John’s musical career. Much to my delight with Chapter One (The Band) performed “Why Georgia” from the album “Room For Squares”. The LED floor and LED wall made for a simple, yet effective, ambiance which filled the Air Canada Centre with ease. John even made light of the photographers during the third song, letting the fans know that the photographers in the pit would be leaving after this song and he wanted great photos for the papers tomorrow and posed for them. Being a photographer for tonight’s show as well I laughed due to the fact that not many artists acknowledge the photographers and for him to make note of it and pose was definitely a memorable experience for myself. Thanks John!

Chapter Two (Acoustic) The whole entire stage was transformed, the backline now hidden by the LED wall and nothing was left on stage but two microphones and a bridge. This made way for a special guest appearance by none other Canada’s own Shawn Mendes. John explained that earlier he was talking to Shawn about performing with him and Shawn told John he wasn’t going to tell his friends he was performing “I am just going to tell them I am going to the bathroom”. I am quite curious what the aftermath of this conversation was when Shawn got off stage. I was very impressed with their performance of “Mercy” and “In Your Atmosphere” mashed up into one song, their voices melted perfectly together and I wish Shawn had the opportunity to be on stage with John a little longer.

Chapter Three (JMT, John Mayer Trio) This portion of the evening would only last three songs but it was a powerful three. Playing “Who Did You Think I Was”, “Crossroads”, and “Wait Until Tomorrow”. The audience seemed memorized and they sat there just taking it all in. I did however hear screams from the audience of “I love you” and “We’re not worthy” bellowing from the fans in my section of the arena.

Chapter Four (The Band Reprise) The 7 piece band was now back on stage ready to rock the rest of the night starting with “Waitin’ On The Day” from “Paradise Valley” and the audience leapt back to their feet. I did find at this point of the night the audience was up and down like a toilet seat at a mixed party. After every song they sat back down only to jump back up at the next song realizing how much they loved the next song as well.

Ending the evening with style the backline disappeared again and there was nothing left on stage but a piano and John Mayer. The LED wall and floor was completely white. A piano was wheeled to the middle of the stage. John sat behind the piano and played “Wheel”, “You’re Gonna Live Forever In Me” and “In Repair”. The fans in the audience sang their hearts out, and it seemed to be a fitting ending to an amazing show. If you missed this concert you are in luck he will be back in Toronto this summer and I highly recommend it. John Mayer has named this tour and his new album “The Search For Everything” and in my books he has found it all already.

Once again thanks to the crew because without them there would be no show!

That Time The Beastie Boys Recorded A Secret Country Album

Country Mike’s Greatest Hits is the legendary full-length country album recorded by the Beastie Boys. Never officially released, it was originally only given out to family and friends of the Beasties as a Christmas gift back in 1999, and bootlegs started showing up a few years later. It has proven to be a very hot collectible, supposedly fetching as much as $400 on eBay.

The only official reference to the album appears on the Beastie Boys compilation The Sounds of Science, which also includes two songs, “Railroad Blues” and “Country Mike’s Theme”. In the liner notes, Adam Yauch explains:

“At some point after Ill Communication came out, Mike got hit in the head by a large foreign object and lost all of his memory. As it started coming back he believed that he was a country singer named Country Mike. The psychologists told us that if we didn’t play along with Mike’s fantasy, he could be in grave danger. Finally he came back to his senses. This song (“Railroad Blues”) is one of the many that we made during that tragic period of time.”

Here is “Country Mike’s Greatest Hits” in full, for your listening pleasure.

Carl Newman of The New Pornographers on Downbeat Lyrics, Upbeat Music

I think there may be a logic behind our songs. They’ve always been like that. I think, for me, you listen to music and it makes you feel better. A lot of people listen to music and it makes them feel better when they’re feeling lousy. That translates into me making music. I make music to make myself feel better. I think of pop songs that I love. I’ve always loved these epic, sugary pop songs, like “Daydream Believer” or “Happy Together,” so when I’m writing songs, I just naturally go in that direction. But that’s a product of something being rough in your life. You’re writing music just to make yourself feel better. So lyrically, it may be a little downbeat, but the music is very upbeat. – Carl Newman of The New Pornographers

Violent Femmes, Echo & the Bunnymen Announce North American Tour

The Violent Femmes and Echo & The Bunnymen announced a North American tour that proves the 80s are not even close to being a memory yet.

The groups’ North American tour begins July 11th in Philadelphia, and ends August 3rd in Vancouver.

The Violent Femmes are still touring in support of their critically acclaimed album “We Can Do Anything,” which was their first album in 15 years. Violent Femmes reunited at Coachella in 2013 and then in 2016 made their first network TV live appearance in 16 years, performing “Memory” on CBS’ Late Show with Stephen Colbert as well as their legendary song, “Blister in the Sun,” with Colbert on vocals. The video was seen everywhere and even became the #1 trending topic on Facebook the day it was released. The Violent Femmes continue to appeal to new generations of fans, and recently found a new fan in author JK Rowling who humorously rated the band 8.5 out 10 on the eclectic Ruth and Martin’s Album Club blog. Violent Femmes are currently recording their new album, which will be released later in the year.

‘Meteorites’ is the eleventh studio album by Echo & The Bunnymen and was released May 26th, 2014 on 429 Records/Caroline. It does, indeed, sound like an exhilarating renaissance, an intricately crafted work with a poetic brilliance and emotional grandeur that places it on a par with the Bunnymen’s greatest records from the ‘80s and ‘90s, notably pysch-pop debut ‘Crocodiles’ (1980), the majestic ‘Heaven Up Here’ (1981), orchestral-rock masterpiece ‘Ocean Rain’ (1984) and Britpop-era comeback ‘Evergreen’ (1997).

The complete Violent Femmes/Echo & The Bunnymen tour dates are below:
Jul 11 – Philadelphia – Skyline Stage at the Mann
Jul 12 – Brooklyn – Ford Ampitheater at Coney Island
Jul 14 – Asbury Park – Stone Pony Summerstage
Jul 15 – Boston – Blue Hills Bank Pavilion

The Beatles Releasing 6-CD Box Set of “Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band”

Details have started to emerge as the Beatles prepare a 50th anniversary reissue of 1967’s Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band – including a release date and information regarding various formats.

An expanded six-disc Super Deluxe Edition is being offered, as are two-CD, two-LP and single-disc configurations. There’s no word yet on what extras these sets will include, though rumors have abounded that the Beatles might restore both “Strawberry Fields Forever” and “Penny Lane,” two standalone singles recorded during the same sessions.

George Martin, the Beatles’ longtime producer, was once quoted as saying that releasing that those two tracks four months before the arrival of Sgt. Pepper, rather than including them in the original running order, was “a truly terrible mistake.” However it shakes out, the set already has a fan in Ringo Starr, who was apparently very pleased with the sound of these polished-up four-track recordings.

The Sgt. Pepper Super Deluxe Edition is listed for $149.98, while the others range from $18.98-$38.98. They all share the same release date of May 26, 2017.
