Check out Weird Canada's little blurb about Aunty Panty.

We even managed to woo them with our packaging!

Not A Girl, Not Yet A Woman

This video does a lot of good for them. It even makes me partially forget about how unapproachable they were at Sled Island. Hell, if I was as cool as they, I'd probably be too.

Comme Tu Veux

I'm in the midst of locking down the final details of my trip to Montreal in February. I can't wait to adventure east, and wet my feet in the city in which I will soon inhabit.

My latest crush, and soon to be BFF is the burger punk band Pantyhos.

Imagine the food fights between Aunty Panty and the bitches of Pantyhos! Not to mention the pillow fights and grave wave dance parties that are bound to happen. Just sayin'.

I totally just wet my stockings!

AP's long distance romance is about to get hottt(er) in here! We're planning some yummy treats for the near future! Until then, here's some footage (thanks Jeremy!) from our last show in Saskatoon.

Grimes

“I wanted to make an escapist dream world,” says Claire Boucher, a.k.a. Montreal electronic artist Grimes, on the eve of her first cross-Canada tour. “During recording, I was taking a lot of science classes, and became obsessed with the book’s aesthetic.” That book, as it turns out, is Frank Herbert’s 1965 sci-fi novel Dune, referenced in the title of her debut cassette, Geidi Primes. She’s re-arranged the name of one of Dune’s fictional planets, but it’s also a fitting analogy for the extraterrestrial never-never land she’s created.

Geidi Primes has a strange air of being created unconsciously while the artist herself was asleep. It is a vastly intriguing set of pop tunes highlighted by its amazing fifth and sixth songs: "avi" and "Feyd Rautha Dark Heart", which are each frighteningly reminiscent of an unaccountable psychic experience I may have never had. As an album it touches on many different tones without exploiting any. It manages to be playful without being precious, clean without being sterile, cryptic without being obscure, and operates in a deceptively complex melodic structure without calling attention to the artistry therein.
It reminds one of being a small child, listening to adult contemporary radio in the back seat of your mother's minivan when a special kind of song comes on. You are still maddeningly susceptible to the sympathetic rise and fall of a maternal voice, yet this is a different sort of mother, one more primeval and distant. Icily it falls over your entire body, begging for an escape you know you cannot give it. You are strangely moved. It seems like an album made for very tall people about what it's like to be very small. It calls to mind the glowering of a child king amidst the many vestments and decorations of his coronation. Listening to Geidi Primes is what its like to suddenly realize you are being watched while taking a cold shower...on the moon.

Emily Kai Bock's 'Human Heart' is a documentary short on GRIMES.

Halfaxa - If Grimes’ tour CDR (to be officially released via Arbutus on September 30th at Pop Montreal) is any indication, the cosmic-pop deity is transcending into a vocal-cruising eidolon of celestial proportions.

Moving

Today I applied for a job in Toronto. I've been fantasizing about moving east since the day I graduated high school, but the closest I've come to realizing that plan was my stint with Katimavik. I am extremely terrified and am not certain that I'm ready, but I don't think I'll ever feel ready, so perhaps it's time to pull up my socks and take the plunge. Ideally I'd settle in Montreal, but ultimately I'll go where I can find a decent job. Tiffany's planning a trip to Montreal in August to house hunt. This means that I better brush up on my french so that I can get a good job in Montreal.

GAH!!!! This past year has been a tumultuous one for me. Cross your fingers for us!

WWKA

Women With Kitchen Appliances

WWKA (pronounced “wicka”) formed in Montreal in 1999. The group has presented their work in bars, on television, and in kitchens, in New York, Brussels, and across Canada.


Coral Short who is originally from B.C. first came up with the idea for WWKA. Book-scouting for used books in her father's used bookstore, Coral came across a box of amazing old kitchen appliances. She brought them home and started playing with them. She thought they were attractive objects, and so she started recruiting people who didn’t know each other at Concordia University to play kitchen appliances.
That’s how it began—as a sound project.
