    “Everyone’s #&*$%3@ and They Don’t Even Know”

    I love everything about this song… especially the line in this posting’s title! LOL! Every time it comes on its ‘azz on the floor’… dance, dance, dance! Mother Mother is a 5-piece Canadian indie band from BC, starting with the name Mother they released their debut self-titled album in 2005.

    *”In the summer of 2006, the band opened for the Australian band, The Cat Empire, at the sold-out Vancouver International Jazz Festival. Soon after, the band began to gain even more national acclaim, and received a gig at the Montreal International Jazz Festival, which was Mother Mother’s first show in Eastern Canada. Afterwards, Mother Mother played a series of shows in Toronto, and later a full-page article about the band was featured in the Toronto Star. In October 2006, after playing a set at the Pop Montreal Festival, Mother Mother met with Last Gang Records (MetricDeath From Above 1979), and later signed a four album contract”.

     

    I loved this song & only when I went to get info and blog about it did I find out they were Canadian! Love it!

    RWFF Media Reception

    I was blessed to attend the media reception for the REEL WORLD FILM FESTIVAL, at Scotiabank theatre last night.

    stripes… AND animal print… oh man.

    I was truly honoured to be joining others in celebrating the festival’s 11 year anniversary. The room was FULL of people, lots of laughter, GOOD food, talent, oh AND… I got to interview Clé Bennett!

    It makes me feel so GOOD to see just how much love and support the festival gives the global film community; especially the Canadian community. I wish you all many more years of success!

    Thank you so much to Sasha Stoltz for inviting us, and to Clé for being so awesome during the whole interview!

    Music eh! So Intimate & Interactive

    Tanya and I had the pleasure of attending Friday night’s Intimate Interactive with The Remix Project, featuring Andreena Mill, and the Remix Project’s; Kyauna Clarke, PG, Savannah Re, and Courtney Taylor, at Suba Lounge. I expected singing, but these ladies were SANGING! I had chills and goosebumps throughout all the performances; it was crazy. There was so much energy in all the performances, and the crowd showed so much love and support; i’m honoured to have experienced all that L-O-V-E. It was truly, Intimate & Interactive.

    Miss Andreena Mill- I’d never seen her perform, and I had no idea what a treat I was in for. She’s fantastic. Real talk. She’s gorgeous and have you seen those legs? OW! She has an amazing voice, and so much ENERGY when she performs. There’s no diva nonsense going on here, but there is some SERIOUS…SERIOUS talent. I love, love, loved, that she smiled throughout her entire performance. She sang, smiled, danced, and interacted with the crowd; giving us an excellent performance overall. 8 songs baby. Yeah I know, I’d be sad I missed it too. HA!

    Oh Kyauna… *heart* you- she seemed cool and calm, and has a soothing and very pretty voice to match! You know when you get that tingly feeling in your chest when you hear certain songs? when you’re really feeling the music? her voice does that…well for me anyway 🙂 When her performance was over I was fighting the urge to start chanting, “one more song!” out-loud with my fist in the air. What can I say, I could hear her sing all day.

    To be honest, I fell in love with PG while I was checking out her music last week. She sings, she raps, she’s petite with a GINORMOUS presence. I was so excited to see her perform and everything was just perfect. *ahem* Gotta start working on these vocals so we can do a song! ha ha ha. But for real. She’s dope. I could really go on and on, but then you guys might start thinking I’m obsessed and ish… *grins*

    Savannah Re. What can I say. I don’t even know. Someone said to me that they’d heard her sing before and that she had a beautiful voice, but I had to hear it for myself. She gave more than just a beautiful voice, there was soul, and there was passion; I have to admit that I definitely wasn’t expecting it, and was totally blown away. I think my mouth was hanging open at some point… Goosebumps galore, that feel good music for real.

    Oh man, Courtney Taylor… WATCH OUT for this girl! Seriously. She’s only 17, writes her own music, and plays the guitar…don’t get me started on that sweet, comforting, grab-you-by-the-heartstrings melody that is her voice. Please, don’t get me started lol. I’d be a proud momma if this was my youngin’.

    She just oozes with talent this woman

    Saukrates came out. They performed “You and Tomorrow” and  killed the stage. Straight murked it. Well done lady and gent 🙂

    “On the floor, through the roof, I’m standing here with you… you my home, you my club, you my office”– Saukrates

    “I’m feeling for what’s about to follow-oh, I got you and tomorrow”– Andreena Mill *now playing* You and Tomorrow. you can download it here

    Andreena premiered her new video for , directed by and we all loved it. Tika looked delish huh? I know, and she was an awesome host too.

    All in all, I think it’s safe to say that everyone had a great night. It was cold outside, but it was definitely worth the trip to come out and see all these artists perform. I applaud everyone that came out and showed support for our local talent, Toronto’s got mad LOVE for their city.

    Thank you so much to Tika Simone and The Remix Project for treating us to this one of a kind experience.

    peace, love and health

    Music eh! Revenge of the nerds

     

    “They was drug dealin, while I was cookin beats, I’m the talk of the streets, while you sweat the technique”

    Blake Carrington strikes again… Every time I’ve run into Blake he’s super cool, super positive, always laughing or smiling and ALWAYS full of energy. Check out the new video for his song “Revenge of the Nerd” directed by Chris Strikes and dedicated to all the people affected by the earthquake in Japan.
