“With as much energy as a late night sugar high, Aucoin and all of the people he gathered for this EP are the high school band troop you’ve always wanted to hear.” exclaim!

“It’s a gloriously transcendent piece of pop music, an inspiring and tantalizing tease for the future gems that Aucoin likely has in store for us.” The Coast

“These four electro-pop party tunes, buttressed by choirs, strings, guitars and drummers, are anthemic singalongs, revisioned ’80s synth-funk hits and mad-scientist glam-pop experiments all at once.“ Montreal Mirror

“Rich Aucoin is so much more than just a musician. He attempts projects nobody else would even think to try, and he not only sees his ideas through, he exceeds expectations. …—and right now this guy is unstoppable.” Cokemachineglow

“ Aucoin is able to make it sound as if he’s invited a bunch of friends over and started the most enjoyable dance party in the world.” Iheartmusic

“Rich Aucoin is a man that gives the people what they want. Whether it be someone to run a half marathon as a pre-gig warm-up, a Jay Z mash up, a record synced to the Grinch… or a night in 3D, Rich has you covered.” Herohill

“Rich Aucoin is more than a musician. He is a party planner, a crowd participation creator, a talented musician, and a creative force.” The Broken Speaker

“ Opener Brian Wilson Is A.L.I.V.E. sounds like the Beach Boys time-warped to the disco era, met Daft Punk and befriended a chorus of indie kids.” NOW Magazine

Recently, Hot Hot Heat spent most of 2008/2009 recording and constructing their own studio and thrashing their take on what they do with best- synth-trashed, dance-throbbed anthems. Experimenting with 5/4 disco grooves and electro loops they went into the studio with producer/musician Ryan Dahle from Limblifter/Age of Electric awhile doing a brief Canadian tour opening for Bloc Party. Parker Bossley (from Fake Shark – Real Zombie!) also became their newest bassist. This incredible show will be supported by Hey Rosetta! and Rich Aucoin.

It’s a hard slog to be a singer songwriter in this country, and harder still to be successful at it. Add to that an artist that favours unusual instrumentation like the mandolin and ukulele and prefers to tour countries by bicycle. A nomadic musician who’s DIY ethic is so strong that his artistry extends past making music and playing multiple instruments to producing an accomplished, satirical web series, as well as creating and directing music videos for himself and other artists. You don’t just have a musical anomaly – you have a triple threat. A singer, songwriter and multi-faceted artist rarely seen.

You have, Jeremy Fisher.

Canadian folk-pop troubadour Jeremy Fisher first broke onto the scene a decade ago, and since then his career has been on a steady upward trajectory. That momentum is bound to keep on building with the release of his latest album, Flood, due out on October 26 (Aquarius Records in Canada / Wind-up Records in the United States). The fourth LP from the two-time Juno nominee, it comes hot on the heels of a Fisher-created summer bicycle tour and a slew of video side projects from the multi-talented artist.

His first full-length since 2007’s acclaimed Goodbye Blue Monday, the album finds Fisher exploring more ornate arrangements, with his acoustic pop songs fleshed out by a diverse array of instruments. Flood is the culmination of a whirlwind writing session, during which he cut over forty demos with help of a Roland 707 drum machine. Although most of these rhythm tracks were later replaced with real drums, the electronic percussion tracks helped to form the backbone of the album’s upbeat, punchy sound. “To build dynamics” explains Fisher, “we mixed in mandolins, tenor guitars, open-tuned 12 strings, piano, timpani, a huge concert bass drum — all acoustic sounds piled on top of each other to create a sort of symphony that could swell in and out of the rhythm section.”

Miss Emily Brownʼs debut album, Part of You Pours Out of Me (April 2008) was named one of Ontario’s 2008 top ten by CBC’s Alan Neal. In January 2010 she will release In Technicolor, an album written during her recent Canada Council sponsored songwriting project based on her grandmotherʼs WWII diary. Recently featured on CBC Canada Live, CBC Canada NEXT and CBC Bandwidthʼs Remembrance Day program, Miss Brownʼs live performance impossibly combines autoharp, vintage keys, guitar and music box with her unmistakable voice. .

“Miss Emily Brown has accomplished a feat of marrying history and plain old-fashioned story telling into a compelling and delicately assembled package of distinctive folk-pop ear candies. In Technicolor is a genuinely impressive achievement.” – Amanda Putz, CBC Radio 2

Meanwhile, Emily joined producer Corwin Fox to form the neo-folk duo Morlove. Combining Fox’s instrumentalism and brilliant sound engineering, with Emily’s incredible range and sweet touch, Morlove’s tracks are slow and careful. The duo recently recorded All of My Lakes Lay Frozen Over, while tucked away in a small wooden church in snowy Wells BC. The album is a lush and delicate list of songs to be released this winter. “I think the music that prevails is unhurried and fully-developed, like tea left to steep for a long long time.”

Goodbye Beatdown isn’t just about firing off simple party tunes but their music is intended as a soundtrack to good times. They aim to be uplifting and leave an air of positivity everywhere they play. There’s a free flow of energy between the stage and the audience that stems from modelling their set after the way a DJ would play a dance party. The songs flow from one to another and it’s all done on purpose from tempos to keys and audience interaction. Cory Myraas, Cameron Lutz, Luke Mortensen and Rob Raybould make up Poor Little Rich Girl and together since late 2008 have made big waves in the Okanagan music community.

On Saturday, Kelowna’s Cynthia Leigh-Ann held her CD Release Party at the Habitat.  Here’s a follow up interview:

So you have a new CD out, what new oppurtunities are you hoping this will bring you?

Yes I do, and I am totally ecstatic about it, I had an awesome time producing my album with Producer Bob Gabelhouse he was incredible and the sound is tracks are better than I expected. We will send the full radio package to Joe Wood of RDR Music Group to submit to radio via a 16-bit wave file. as well we will have a tracker take care of the stations delivery of my music, pretty high tech stuff.

I am hoping that my CD charts, that would be incredible and get me really noticed by agents and labels; I am also sending certain songs to Tease, they put them on their site and send them out to TV, Movies, Artists, and other promoters that are looking for other uses like commercials, or other media venues looking for a good song that fits their needs. The Biggest benefit will be helping me to become a familiar face in the music industry, as well as put my music front and center, including sales, because marketing is a big part of the music business.

With your CD release party tonight at the Habitat, what can fans expect?  Are you enjoying playing your new songs live?

The CD Party is to let all of my fans, media, friends, and my family to come out, and celebrate with me as I launch my debut album on stage with a live performance along with some of my artist friends who will do some songs to add to the evening’s entertainment…

My fans can expect to hear me perform all of my new songs live, on stage for the very first time, plus they can sit down with me one on one and ask me all the things they never had an opportunity to do. I will also be giving everyone at the celebration a copy of my first five songs autographed as a memory of the event

I am loving the opportunity to perform my new songs, it is awesome to be doing it, it’s been a long time coming, but worth every minute of the journey.

I will be performing my songs again with others I wrote and some covers at The Merritt Street Music on the 2nd of September in Merritt; I am looking forward to being there, as I have fond memories of my performance days at Merritt Mountain Fest.

What are your plans to promote the new album throughout the remainder of the year?
I plan to really get out there and perform everywhere I can, because after my songs go to radio, the next most important thing is live shows and lots of them. My manager has already started booking me for the fall and 2011 in BC and Alberta, plus I will be touring hopefully in the spring break from university and Alberta in the summer. I can hardly wait to get started.

I plan to sell my CD in selected retail outlets and chains throughout Canada, and hopefully in beyond as things grow, we will be putting them on line music sites  as well , such as MySpace and YouTube, most definitely at my live shows and I am wishing that all comes my way and all my dreams come true with my new CD. Most importantly I want my fans to love my music, they are the ones that make us who really make it happen, and I love them all for supporting me all through my music journey
