  Designer of Downie's suits raises money with keychains

Quote:TORONTO -- Keychains made from scraps of leather used to tailor Gord Downie's eye-catching metallic suits are going up for sale -- for a good cause.

Fashion designer Izzy Camilleri, who created Downie's look on the Tragically Hip's "Man Machine Poem" tour, says she's using leftover pieces to raise money for brain cancer research.

She came up with the idea after the band wrapped the tour in August.

The leather remaining from Downie's seven suit designs has been repurposed into 1,000 keychains shaped like guitars and embossed with .courageforgord.

Each will sell for $25 on the CourageForGord.org website. Proceeds go to the Gord Downie Fund for Brain Cancer Research at Toronto's Sunnybrook Hospital.

Camilleri says the extra leather was originally meant for minor repairs and alterations to Downie's suits during the tour. But after the final Kingston, Ont., concert she decided to hang onto the material anyway.
Each of the seven outfits was named after someone who Downie considered instrumental in helping him prepare for the tour.

The gold suit was coined "Paul" for Hip bandmate Paul Langlois, the silver suit was dubbed "Patrick" after Downie's brother and the turquoise suit "Edgar" was dedicated to his father, who died last year.

Downie's assistant "Jenn" has her name tied to the acid green suit while two musical icons also have a nod -- the purple suit is called "Prince" and the mirror ball suit is "Bowie."

Camilleri's hot pink suit design was named after herself.

Two custom leather jackets will also be up for auction on the website starting Saturday. Both were created "in the spirit of what she designed for Downie." One is in metallic silver sized in a men's large while a metallic pink female version is sized medium.

Camilleri says she hopes to raise $25,000 from both the keychains and jackets.

Quote:I am going to go with 06-24-2006 at Historic Fork York.

I went with to the show with Beanmedic. We met up with a bunch of Hipbasers before the show. The ones I remember are Lizard King, Trevor, Chris Chris, Thehip11, I believe FarmerDan was there as well. One key moment during the show I haven't forgot was when the beginning of 38 Years old started and Beanmedic completely lost his shit. What a great show.

*******DO NOT SELL!!! Convert these files to MP3 if you must for your own listening
needs but please don't distribute them in a lossy format without asking.********

That is a disgustingly filthy setlist. 2006 Summer Fling was... ....so epic.

What a great show to close out the club for 2016. We will see yas in 2017. In the meantime, Happy Holigays.

If you did not sign up to be part of the selection committee, you can still participate! please feel free to listen to the show, and join the discussion in this thread.



Hope everyone enjoys! Volume 6 is coming soon... !

  Tragically Hip Canada Day?

Just thinking out loud - that might be a nice curtain call to play Canada Day at Parliament Hill. Huge event on an anniversary year for Canada, and probably a handful of songs over 15 minutes so not overly taxing from a physical standpoint. That would be a nice curtain call.

Hello all --

I've been thinking a lot about music's relationship to the idea of nationhood, so I decided to put some thoughts into words by considering the question via the example of Canada and The Hip. Hope you enjoy it, and I'd love some feedback.
