That's soon! Thanks a lot Leslie for posting this... ...Wednesday, hmmmmm. Oddly, there isn't any tour info at their website. It taxed my french to the limit though ... :-) James. ========================================================================== James McGarry | jmcgarry@UoGuelph.CA - -------------------------------------------------------------------------- What sets worlds in motion is the interplay of differences, their attractions and repulsions; life is plurality, death is uniformity. - - Octavio Paz ========================================================================== ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 03 Oct 1998 16:58:04 PDT From: "Tabassum Siddiqui" Subject: Re: Cate Friesen, Anne Bourne, Dahmnait Doyle I wrote, and James replied: >> What??

Nope, I don't think she has a solo album, actually. If she *does*, someone please let us know!

So did I, but it's been 2 years since I've been hearing that, so... ;-) I know there were some label things - I think the subsidiary she was on folded, but hopefully the mother label kept her on, because she's extremely talented, and that was only her first album, so hopefully she can only get better! One of my favorite shows *ever* was the sadly under-attended pre-Lilith triple bill of former Nettwerk songbird Suzanne Little, Melanie Doane, and Damhnait Doyle at the Bathurst Street Theatre back in '95. It was a wonderful, wonderful evening, and I wish they'd so something like that again in an intimate setting like that. - - Tab :) ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 03 Oct 1998 18:42:37 PDT From: "Tabassum Siddiqui" Subject: Six degrees of Kevin Fox...

Besides Kevin, David had Byron Wong and the vocalist from My Brilliant Beast playing with him. Wow, pretty impressive support group there, wouldn'tcha say? - - Tab :) ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 03 Oct 1998 19:26:28 PDT From: "Tabassum Siddiqui" Subject: OAC: Mel Doane, Jann Arden, Strawbs, Joydrop, Sloan, Emm G... Hey, all... Okay, I forgot some stuff in my last post on Melanie Doane... Anyone see the "Adam's Rib" video yet? It's been added at medium rotation at MuchMusic, which is pretty good, but I've yet to catch it. Also, she's slated to open for Jann Arden on Jann's fall tour, which is going to make for one *awesome* show. The two Toronto dates (Convocation Hall, U of T, 2 nights in November) go on sale on Tuesday. Oh, just for some Sarah content , Melanie and Sarah went to the same high school in Halifax! How cool is that? I was reading Melanie's diary entries on her (excellent) webpage, and she mentions it in one of her Lilith entries. I shoulda guessed! I'm not sure if Melanie was a grade higher, 'cause she's a year older than Sarah, but they could have been in the same grade... Wild! Continuing in the CanCon thread, the next single from the coolest parents in the world, the Wild Strawberries , will be "Mirror Mirror". Frankly, I think that sounds way too much like the previous two singles from "Quiver", but hey. It would have been better, IMHO, to go with one of the quieter 'ballads' or the bombastic rock track "Speak of the Devil", that would have *killed* on CFNY and other alt-rock stations. Speaking of alt-rock bands, if anyone likes newcomers Joydrop, they're doing an HMV in-store in Toronto on Oct. 8 with tourmates The Flys before their gig at the Horseshoe the next day. Um, okay, which brainer decided to have *Rufus Wainwright* open for Sloan on some of their Canadian tour dates?! Mr. Cabaret is *not* going to over well with the little Sloanites from suburbia. ;-P Speaking of odd double bills, I'm very excited about seeing Emm Gryner open for the Philosopher Kings in Toronto in November at the wonderful Danforth Music Hall venue (which I thought was only a movie theatre now, but thankfully they're still going to do shows in there), but good god are tickets expensive! I'm sorry, I realize it's a soft-seater venue and all, and that the Kings have really come far in the past year or so, but I'm not sure they merit a $25 ticket price. Sorry to cram all this into one post, but it's better than several one-liners, eh? - - Tab ;) ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com ------------------------------ End of canadian-music-digest V1 #91 ***********************************
