Brasstronaut Announce Full Canadian Tour

343llkzin support of their debut LP Mt. Chimaera out March 2nd

Like their hometown of Vancouver, British Columbia, Brasstronaut is hard to pin down.  Their debut album, Mt. Chimaera, possesses qualities of the fjord-flanked city’s unpredictable character. Since forming in 2007,n Brasstronaut has steadily acquired the hands necessary to fuse a diverse range of genres and this follow-up to their Old World Lies EP represents the first statement by the band’s definitive six-piece line-up.  Vocalist and
keyboardist Edo Van Breemen is joined by a roster fluent in trumpet, lap steel, flugelhorn and the seldom-heard EWI (a wind synthesizer), among others.

Emerging from the west-coast city’s rain-soaked culture of underground venues and cheap sushi, the band whole-heartedly embraces the pirate lifestyle of constant touring and have built credibility on the road, having played with bands from Belle Orchestre to Why?, and in international festivals like Reykjavik’s Iceland Airwaves ‘09, where they appeared
on-stage with the brass section from Sigur Ros. Amidst their upcoming Canadian tour, they are currently slated to appear at South By Southwest 2010 on the official Pop Montreal curated showcase, and the Sled Island Dayparty (details below!)

Don’t miss Brasstronaut’s upcoming CBC Radio 3 session that will be broadcast online at http://radio3.cbc.ca/ and on SIRIUS channel 86 at 8pm PST on Monday, Feb 15th. See them live at their Cultural Olympiad kick-off show in Vancouver on February 18th.

Also, be sure to check out www.myspace.com/brasstronaut for a listen to new single “lo hi hopes” as well as a FREE download of “Slow Knots.” The brand new Brasstronaut site will be launched Monday, February 15th.

larksneaker_header46983326992_dvgvq1Legendary German shoe brand, Zeha-Berlin and local Vancouver boutique, Lark celebrated their limited edition sneaker with a successful launch event at Lark.

Named after Carl Haessner, the founder of Zeha, the sneaker, the Carl Haessner IIX, is inspired by the Zeha sneakers worn by the Olympic athletes of Germany and the Soviet Union in the 1960s. Gold and black motif; trademark double-slash stripes, with golden embroidery, incorporates the spirit of the brand’s history and events in Lark’s hometown.

“We are excited about this collaboration with Lark and adding this sneaker to the Zeha legacy,” said Axel Menzler, the North American distributor of Zeha-Berlin. “It fits perfectly with the store, and the city, as Olympia meets high quality and high fashion.” 

Handmade in Italy, from the finest Italian leathers, in vegetable tanned gold and black, the Carl Haessner IIX continues to carry the torch for tradition, craftsmanship and style.

MP3: DaVinci - “It’s On Me” Prod. By Blunt

davinci-coming_soonUp and coming emceeDaVinci is hard at work making a name for himself. Recently signing with Bay-Area label SWTBRDS Creative Collective, DaVinci will soon unleash his music onto the masses with his debut album The Day The Turf Stood Still - scheduled to hit the streets on March 9, 2010. Building momentum for the release, in addition to releasing material from his upcoming debut, DaVinci will be releasing three bonus tracks not on the album. Rather than throwaways, all three are album-quality songs, simply completed too late to make the final cut. Up first, DaVinci offers us “It’s On Me,” and with this initial offering, gives listeners, both familiar and unfamiliar with DaVinci’s prior work, a window into his prior life - telling his own story of struggling his way out of a lifestyle of crime, taking big steps to help himself move up in the world. Raps DaVinci, “I’m at the bottom with the roaches and rats, but I’m climbing to the top with the snakes and cats.” Hoping to affect a greater change in the world than merely tell his own story, DaVinci looks at “It’s On Me” as a way to both inspire and prove his own merits. “I came up wit the concept to inspire people to take initiative for their hustle,” says DaVinci. “The message here is, ‘If I don’t do it, nobody else will,’ so I felt the need to convey exactly why I think people should give my music a chance.”

The slick production is courtesy of Vancouver producer Blunt, behind all three forthcoming pre-album tracks, perhaps most well known for his production efforts with Freeway – Blunt produced a majority of Freeway’s Month Of Madness. DaVinci was introduced to Blunt through a mutual friend over email, and was an instant fan of his beats: “The track was dope without anyone even rapping on it, so I just wanted to make sure that there was a marriage between the beat and my lyrics.”

FAN DEATH ANNOUNCE MARCH NORTH AMERICAN TOUR WITH LITTLE BOOTS

015SELECT DATES SUPPORTING LITTLE BOOTS BEGIN MARCH 2nd IN NEW YORK, LEADING UP TO SXSW

Vancouver’s Fan Death (aka Dandilion Wind Opaine and Marta Jaciubek-McKeever) have just announced a series of highly anticipated live shows this March, bringing their beautifully dark, theatric take on classic electronic pop to many North American cities for the first time.  On tour supporting the UK’s electro-pop phenom Little Boots, dates begin March 2nd in New York, concluding with several appearances at SXSW to be announced.

Recently amassing over 100,000 YouTube views alone for their cinematic videos “Reunited” and “Cannibal“, the duo will also join Vampire Weekend next month for their European tour, including many sold-out UK venues.  The tour will showcase brand new material from the upcoming Last Gang Records release A Coin For The Well (out February 23rd) and offer a first look of what to expect from the debut album Womb Of Dreams (slated for a May release).

Already hailed as “our new favorites!” in 2010 by Perez Hilton and supported early on by SPIN, The Fader, and NYLON, among others, Fan Death are poised to stun audiences with their thrilling live shows throughout 2010.

The Nope - Rain All Day (Radio)

thenope_photoIn an era where most hip-hop artists claim to ‘break new ground’ or ‘challenge the boundaries’, yet more often than not only deliver on diluted retreads of stale rap clichés, Canadian/American duo The Nope (Psy of the Oddities and Moka Only) offer a different approach: they drop all pretence of treading new waters. As The Nope emcee Psy shares, “We’re exactly the same as every other music group you’ve ever heard before. So, prepare for absolute boredom.” For once, a rapper tells the truth.

The Nope is at best reactionary, their subversiveness a mere academic contrivance. Purported Dadaists, Psy and Moka Only claim to be “anti-everything,” crafting songs about “whatever we feel at the time.” And with tracks like “Mickey D’s”, an opus on eating at the imperialist Golden Arches chain three days in a row while recording, or another entitled “Chant’n'Sing”, where Moka confides that, after airing woman troubles, “I can understand why some of yall want to pee on ‘em man,” the claim of speaking what is on their mind in unguarded fashion is not to be questioned.

Yet, I don’t know if it is to be lauded either, even if it makes troubled RnB crooners sympathetic. Sometimes naked honesty can amount to a case ‘When Keeping It Real Goes Wrong’, rather than a nuanced artistic declaration. Though, in fairness, how a listener views the duo depends on whether he or she takes The Nope serious. The Nope creates feel-good nonsense, mood-music hearkening to a bygone era when acts like Ultra Mag and Y’all So Stupid had a rightful place. And Psy and Moka’s talents shine, regardless of whether their gifts are realised on material of any depth or significance.

Instead, Moka’s soulful off-kilter production and Psy and Moka’s playful lyricism and nimble rhyme-schemes recall the creative lightheartedness of early-to-mid 90s hip hop, except without Jurassic 5 or Ugly Duckling-like anachronism. Written by: Daniel Saad

FAN DEATH SIGN TO LAST GANG RECORDS, ANNOUNCE NORTH AMERICAN RELEASE OF EP AND ALBUM

75The multifaceted Vancouver, BC-based group Fan Death have announced the signing to Last Gang Records for the release of their debut EP A Coin For The Well, out February 23rd.  Beginning as a project between vocalist Dandilion Wind Opaine and Marta Jaciubek-McKeever in addition to their own solo musical endeavors, Dandi joined with frequent collaborator Szam Findlay to produce Fan Death in 2007.  An elegiac revision of classic electronic pop, Fan Death recall the darkest elements of early OMD, Depeche Mode, and Human League combined with Cerrone worthy symphonic arrangements to create contemporary anthems of morose celebration.

Launching 2008 with their single “Veronica’s Veil” on Erol Alkan’s Phantasy label, Fan Death’s visual presence gained international attention in part due to the iconic realizations of their music.  Two videos from the upcoming EP have been released to date, the ethereal “Reunited” directed by Dandilion herself and “Cannibal” [mp3].  Fan Death are currently at work finishing their full-length Womb Of Dreams, slated for an May 2010 release.
