For those of you who live in the Toronto area and absolutely love live music... this is really something special. For almost a year now I have been going down to THE PHOENIX on the 3rd Thursday of every month to see a CLASSIC ALBUM recreated....

I am not talking a cover band either. I am talking about some top "session" musicians and other known artists such as:
Kevin Young - (Moist, David Usher)
Phil Naro - (Talas, Peter Criss, 24K)
Marty Morin - (Klaatu, Goddo, Toronto)
Jeff Pearce - (Rye, Moist, David Usher)
Kenny Maclean - (Platinum Blonde)
Trent Carr - (Headstones)
Tim White - (Headstones)
...and so on

The whole concept is quite unique... they take a Classic Album usually from the 70's and play it "note for note" from beginning to end. They do not talk or anything. If it takes 10 people to recreate Rumours by Fleetwood Mac or Led Zeppelin IIII then that's what they do...the realism of how close it sounds is unbelieveable.....then they introduce the band after the album and do 4-5 encore songs.

I have never heard music this good for $15! The venue is great and the people gathered at each event are only there for one thing - The Music

The owner was featured on CBC's show VENTURE and also started a spin off show each month called MODERN ALBUMS LIVE.... I just saw U2's Joshua Tree - I can't even say how good it was and before that was NIRVANA's NEVERMIND.

The 1 Year Anniversary is coming up next Thursday and
the Album being recreated in it's entirety is PINK FLOYD's IIII THE WALL IIII

So... just looking for others who enjoy this as much as I do or for anyone who needed to know about it....

To see some of the past albums done and upcoming performances:

I heard 'Vaccination Scar' on CHOM this morning, sounds great. It was a the first time I had heard it on the radio:-)

After the song was done the DJ came on and said the hip hadn't named thier album yet.

I emailed them to tell them what we knew and about the HNIC thing. I was wondering, what are stations you listen to that play the Hip saying about the new album?

would anybody be willing to email me the song. I cant get it off puretracks as I am an american and puretracks doesnt think americans are download worthy and i cant get into the 100th meridian site. If someone could email it to me at <!-- e --><a href="mailto:Mikesengbusch@yahoo.com">Mikesengbusch@yahoo.com</a><!-- e --> I would be forever indebted to you. thanks in adavance.

stay hip,
mike

Hey

Today's shot in the dark: Anyone in the GTA or Kingston area who works for a place that's hiring right now? Anyone want to hire a fellow Hip fan?

Just thought I'd check. The crunch is setting in. Summer employment for students seems to be slim so far.

Cheers

Pat

Hey I'm a Canuck living in the states and I tried to download the new single but I can't because they limit it to Canada.

Can anybody help?

GO LEAFS GO!

Hi all Hipsters,

I am new to this forum, hoping to learn something more about my favorite band, one of the most underestimated bands in the world by the way.

Also hoping someone could help me out with a soundbite of Vaccination Scars - I was hoping to download it myself but for some reason the site can only be accessed by Canadian residents.
What kind of nationalist reflex is this?

Help me out, I am Belgian.

Thanks mates,

Gianni

The lovely and talented ShannonW (She's an Ottawa U grad, so it comes with the territory...) gave me the idea to start a Hip Meeting thread. Anybody got any cool "The day I met the Hip" stories? Any chance encounters... Here's mine. I'll call it "The Day I Pissed Off Johnny" :mrgreen:

So, my second oldest sisters first boyfriend (Confused Yet?) was Chris Morris. Chris was the Hip's official photographer up until M@W when he decided to go into film. Anyway, after high school ended (And so did their relationship) she and he remained friends. One night in January '99, she calls me from a party that she and Chris were attending in Toronto. She says: "here, talk to Mike." I said "Okay... hi Mike..." and it turned out to be Mike Downie, maker of Heksenketel and Gord's 'lil brother.

He asks me if I'd like to be in the video shoot for Bobcaygeon? I, thinking my sister must be jerking my chain, say: "Yeah, can I bring three friends and hang out with the band?" He says: "Sure, Chris'll give you the details, I'll see you there." So, at that point, if it's possible to figuratively shit ones pants, that's exactly what I did.

Fast Forward to the day of the video shoot. Myself, my girlfriend at the time, and another couple head down to the location *three hours* before we were supposed to get there... We call Chris on his cell and after trying to explain why we were so friggin' early, he lets us onto the set. As soon as we enter the wharehouse/hanger (Near The Docks in Toronto) we see the whole band sitting down to lunch at the services table. The girls jumped they were so giddy, and if there hadn't been so many people around, I probably would have too... We made our way over to the catering area and tried our damndest to look cool, but I'm sure we looked anything but. In a "can you believe this?" moment, my friend Shawn leaned over and whispered to me: "Do you realize we're in the same room with the guy who actually ranted the Double Suicide-Highway Girl story?" (At the time, that bootleg was like our Bible...)

Anyway, while we're there... My friend Charlotte ran into Gord as he was coming out of the washroom, all she could say after was "He's soooo tall!..." We got placed right up front (Just under Gord Sinclair's feet) for the riot scene in the video. Miko, the stunt guy, actually hit my arm as Hugh Dillon tossed him off the stage... We got to meet and chat with all the members of the band, especially Bobby and Sinclair who had to stand around a lot waiting for shots... Bobby is a real sweat heart, seems like somebody who truly appreciates what he's got... Gord played thumb wars with my-ex... I sheepishly walked up to Gord and extended my hand (Without saying anything... LIKE AN IDIOT) he shook it, and we just kinda nodded at each other in silence... As the make-up people touched up his Cop outfit, I eventually said "You just have to grin and bear it huh?" He chuckled, politely... and I realized I AM an IDIOT! Plus, we were lucky enough to get autographs... from everybody except Johnny that is.

We kinda played a bit of a joke on Johnny... the whole day he had been hitting on, and blantantly flirting with, two blondes who had been sent by their "talent agency" to be extras in the video. There were a BUNCH of those types of people around... looks good on a resume I guess. Anyway, one of the clueless "actors" asked us: "Which band member is Randy? My agent's a big fan of Randy's..." So, I pointed out Johnny with the two girls and said: "Him. That's Randy." This dude goes up to Johnny and says: "Hey Randy, can I get an autograph..." Johnny corrected him and eventually signed his "Road Apples" disk. But I think Johnny saw us chuckling in the corner, since when I asked him to sign my Canadian flag, after Bobby and Paul already had, he said: "No man, I don't do that kinda thing..." and then stuck out the back of his hand and kind of reverse high fived my hand as I tried to shake his. Maybe it was a bad day, maybe we pissed him off with the "Randy" gag. :mrgreen:

How do you? Is it the saying of "Eh". Or going crazy over hockey?
