Cosmic Dave’s Record Factory Recording Artists From Sudbury, Ontario Set To Release Their 5th Album & Prepare To Go Coast To Coast In November With Al Tuck & Forest City Lovers
“What I Love About Cars” MP3 + Album Art & Photos: http://www.killbeatmusic.com/ox/
From the opening mission statement of Neil Young’s ‘Out On The Weekend’, to its final atmospheric moments, Ox’s 5th album ‘tUCo’ meanders through its sonic explorations to arrive in twilight after an all night drive.
The plot: a soundtrack to an imaginary film- a lost script… from award winning indie filmmaker John Milne a loose storyline: “a 70s buddy movie channelling Keith Carradine and Dennis Hopper. The band is Tuco, and they’re imploding.” This is all Ox had to work with- so, they created a soundtrack. The film was never made. The record was.
No accident is out of place here- tape hiss, amp hum, trains and TV… the Ox noise machines are well oiled. Featuring guest appearances from Fred Squire, Shawn Dicey, Max Myth, Nathan Lawr, Kate Maki & Dave MacKinnon, never has Ox sounded this focused, or this cinematic in its soundscapes while simultaneously presenting their most compelling songs to date.
It’s Rhinestone Cowboy meets Bright Eyes with a sprinkle of The Flaming Lips and it’s heading to a town near you soon.

It all started at The Cavern.
Winnipeg is known as the “Heart of the Continent.” In this beating heart on the prairies, there is always new music being made: in its clubs and basements, and in between work and life. Imaginary Cities was born in a club called The Cavern, in between sets. This new group, founded in a chance meeting is now readying to introduce their debut album, Temporary Resident in early 2011. They are a band that is fast becoming one of Canada’s most important and talked about new bands.
Imaginary Cities is the musical duo of Marti Sarbit and Rusty Matyas. Marti had moved to Winnipeg from Brandon, MB, and was playing in a Motown cover band called, The Solutions. Rusty did mixing for them. Rusty was no stranger to the Canadian music scene himself. His former band The Waking Eyes was signed to Warner Records, and he’s currently the multi-instrumentalist in The Weakerthans.
The Kelowna Community Theatre has rolled out a lot of great concerts in the upcoming months.
Today, Jim Cuddy & Doug Paisley was announced for January 10th. George Canyon is playing tonight, and Rock and Roll Hall of Famer, Leon Russell is playing November 8th.
There’s also Sam Roberts, Sarah Slean, Matthew Good, Brent Butt, Jon Lajoie, Jully Black, Lights, Bay City Rollers, Bob Saget, City & Colour and a little band called Hanson. All in the next 3 months!
Oh, and Colin James on February 9th!
