If I remember correctly, her set was at the same time as Emm's during NXNE'97. I skipped Emm's set because she was local and I'd already seen her at least 3 or 4 times that month and I wanted to check out one of the out-of-town acts. I should have stuck with Emm, a sure thing... I ended up bouncing between 3 or 4 clubs, all of which featured HORRIBLE bands. Vav Jungle particularly sticks out in my mind because there were these 2 horrendously gaudily overdressed women, one of whom was screeching to the accompaniment of a turntable, and the other whose function seemed to be restricted to go-go dancing. To think that *that* is what I saw instead of Emm... Ah well, hindsight and all that. The band that went on after Vav Jungle were great though, as most of James' recommendations tend to be. That would be Vancouver's Colorifics. Anyway I noticed that you folks in Ottawa have a stunning show coming up: Rufus Wainwright, with Imogen Heap opening (Mar 8... I think it was at Barrymore's). Those are easily my two greatest discoveries of 1998. Their CDs still get endless rotation in my CD player. I can't believe they're playing together, it's like a dream bill for me anyways, especially since Imogen has never played in Toronto, at least to my knowledge. It's a celebration of ivory. Rufus plays in Toronto the next day, and I dearly hope that Imogen is opening here too.

I think I've finally found it - according to Jam's mega-comprehensive TV listings site, CBC is airing the ECMAs on Sunday, Feb. 14th at 8:00. So it's pre-taped, not live. It's a 2-hour broadcast with Rick Mercer (ex-This Hour has 22 Minutes) hosting. There ya go, Tab :) ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com ------------------------------ End of canadian-music-digest V2 #20 ***********************************
