If you saw my article from Friday night of Canadian Music Week, then you might remember that I was a little enthusiastic about a band called Arkells who put on an amazing set at The Horseshoe that night. Honestly, I consider them the "find" of Canadian Music Week, even more so now than before because I've been listening to their EP Deadlines regularly since then. So early last week I discovered they were going to be opening for a band called Sweet Thing at The Mod Club, and I didn't want to miss the opportunity.

There's a reason the Phoenix was packed last Thursday night, and it's a simple one: The Constantines are just really amazing on stage. They've got this thing where they come out and play really well to grab your interest, then they go down a path that Bryan Webb (vocals, guitar) describes as the ballad section of the evening (which still rocks pretty hard), and then out of nowhere they morph it back into a full-fledged rock show, emanating energy that feeds the crowd. And this time around it was pretty much a double-bill with Attack In Black opening, another band of great musicians.

Remember People In Planes? They're that 5-piece band from Wales that had that great song If You Talk To Much (My Head Will Explode) playing on the radio in 2006. Also, I took some photos of them playing at the Koolhaus that same year. Well, now they have a new album called Beyond The Horizon due out this summer, and I have a few goodies for you, including a ticket giveaway for their upcoming show in Toronto.

What a weird night. I arrived at The Horseshoe on Friday in time for Songs From A Room, which I had seen before and knew they delivered screaming-loud rock, and intended to stay until the very end of The Blakes set, another band I've seen before and knew they played loud garage rock. So I was kind of expecting something in the vein of loud rock for the band in between the two, Foxfire.

Dead Meadow is originally from Washington D.C., formed in 1998, and is currently a three-piece band... although they did expand to a four-piece for at least one album (Feathers). Their self-titled debut album was released in 2000 is the CD responsible for catching my attention, mostly due to the guitar-centric track Greensky Greenlake, which has a bit of a creepy feel to it and reminds me of some earlier Pink Floyd, in a way. I now own three of their CDs, including their latest album, Old Growth, which was just released in February. Their songs come up on my iPod every now and then, always at exactly the right time, like my iPod can tell what mood I'm in.
