/ Contest / / 0 Comments

The weather has finally turned around here in Toronto and with the nice weather comes the festival season of great shows happening in the city.  One of my yearly favourites is Field Trip, taking place next weekend (June 2nd/3rd) at Fort York.  This years’ lineup features Metric, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Alvvays, Japandroids, and Haerts to name a few (full lineup here); always a great place to discover a new band.  In case you haven’t picked up your ticket yet, take a chance here on winning a pair of GA weekend tickets to the festival.

Check the widget below to enter.  You can retweet a tweet on twitter, or answer a question to enter (one entry per person).  I’ll pick a winner this Tues at Noon (EST).

VIDEO: “Small Talk” by For Esmé

/ IMF, Videos / / 0 Comments

Loving the latest video from Toronto’s For Esmé for “Small Talk”.  “The video is a movement based visual exploration of the spaces and places in the world where a woman feels free to be truly herself,” shares frontwoman Mar Meredith. The video was co-directed by Chelsea McMullan and Quote Unquote Collective.

In support of their new album, Righteous Woman, due out on May 25, 2018, For Esmé have announced tour dates, including an official hometown show at The Drake Underground on May 31st. Mar is really excited to unveil her new five-piece band featuring Karrie Douglas (HIGHS), Morgan Doctor (Jill Barber, Fefe Dobson, Andy Kim), Charles Tilden (Delta Will) and Lewis Parker. This new set up is a huge step forward for For Esmé, abandoning all backing tracks in favour of a fully live, technical and dynamic show.  Additional dates will include Guelph, Peterborough, and Ottawa with more to be announced at www.foresmemusic.com.

VIDEO: “Role Model” by Phoenix

/ IMF, Videos / / 0 Comments

Today, Phoenix have released the video for “Role Model” exclusively on fashion video network, Made to Measure (M2M).

Marrying documentary footage of legendary fashion photographer Helmut Newton with performance shots of the band, the “Role Model” video — by Australian creative agency Lost Art — is an instant classic, timelessly capturing the magic of the mid 80’s, much like Ti Amo itself.

The video premieres right in time for the band’s first, sold out ‘Ti Amo Speciale’ residency, happening in their hometown of Paris, France at La Gaîté Lyrique, where the critically acclaimed Ti Amo was written and recorded. Similar five-night residences will occur in NYC at Brooklyn Steel this July, and Los Angeles at the Fonda Theatre this September.
