Christine Tier launch: Rivoli Wed. 7 p.m.

Quick reminder:

AN INTRIGUING MUSIC STORY: AN ARTIST
WHO BLENDS TWO DEMANDING CAREERS

Christine Tier makes music that's a blend of sultry, irresistible songs that seamlessly shifts between smooth jazz, folk, and thoughtful alternative pop.  She launches her self-titled CD with a band of first-rate Toronto musicians at the Rivoli tomorrow (Wednesday May 23).

That she mixes a deeply-felt musical sensibility with a career as a lawyer seems to work for her - as if the heart controlled the music, and the brain her application of the law.  It's never that simple, of course, or so clearly defined.
       
Laughingly, she tells friends that she needs a new career every decade, and if reality might obstruct that dream, she's determined to be the very best she can be at both professions.  This, she figures, could be the start of new career.

There's a story here.  It would be worthwhile to cover it, and tell your readers/listeners/viewers about it.  This is an early show: Music starts at 7.30. Refreshments, as they say, served...

Who:  Singer, songwriter - and lawyer - Christine Tier, supported by some of Toronto's best players, including Nick "Brownman" Ali, John Yelland, Alan Hetherington, Robert Reid and Susan Martinelli.
What: Thoughtful, intelligent music informed by jazz and pop influences.
Why: To help launch her debut CD
Where: Rivoli, 334 Queen St. W., Toronto.
When: Wednesday May 23.  Note: This is an early show, with doors open 7 p.m.; show at 8 p.m.

excerpt...
A Clash of UK Punk and Jamaican Roots:
Canada’s ‘The Next Best Thing’ on Tour in Your Backyard

Working Machine is the third album for TNBT. Besides ska and reggae, Working
Machine reeks of funk, soul, experimental and even a little heavy rock.
Similar to NY icons The Slackers, they concentrate on the live performance
with lengthy sets involving the crowd. Like Ween, they take all requests,
even improvising songs on the spot as diverse as “Gin and Juice”, “Simmer
Down”, “Red Red Wine”, old Zeppelin songs or even a Jay-Z track. Colin
notes, “We play three-set gigs and throw in several unlikely covers. We like
to be able to play about any reggae song shouted out at a show. Actually,
we’ll try to cover any song requested at our shows.”
TNBT concert and party launching Club 107’s summer season, June 9, 10:30P.

The Next Best Thing blends the best of reggae and punk into their own sound.
So, save yourself the airfare and check out some
damn good music right here in your own backyard.

THE BLOOD LINES - NEW BAND, NEW CD, NEW TOUR

THE BLOOD LINES - TORONTO, ON @ KATHEDRAL JUNE 13

We started playing together late in 2005, but there was a line-up
change, etc. and we officially formed and named the band in March of
2006. It's wierd to think that was less than three months ago,
because since then we haven't stopped working.

The night we named the band was the same night we bought the domain
www.thebloodlines.com and set up a myspace account that simply said
"Songs coming soon". The foundation was in place and the next day we
began booking this tour for June that is taking us all the way to
Toronto and New York and back. We were setting up a deadline for
ourselves, hoping we'd make it.

Once we had the booking underway, we decided we should probably play a
show and test the waters. So we lined up a show locally for May 6th
that would be our first show ever. It ended up being packed and the
reception was great. Since then, we played one other show with The
Constantines and Chad VanGaalen (May 19).

We knew we wanted an album by the time we cast off for tour (June 2nd)
but as of May 8th, we hadn't begun recording it yet. So, we got to
work. Doing everything ourselves, we recorded, mixed and mastered a
12 song album in a period of 9 days. During the mixing, we were still
coming up with ideas and quickly adding the final touches as we rushed
to meet the deadline that would allow us to get the CD back from the
manufacturer in time for our tour. Somehow, after all the rush, we
were all 100% happy with our work - a little delirious from lack of
sleep (22 hours straight mixing) - but nonetheless satisfied and
gratified.

This week leading up to our departure will entail folding, gluing,
stamping and stuffing cardboard CD cases and sending them off to
various locations across Canada (let me know if you'd like one), while
we prep our van for tour. I forgot to mention we booked the whole
tour without a mode of transportation. We assumed we'd be able to
find a van in time, but it was getting REALLY tight. Two days ago our
luck pulled through and we found the perfect tour van for $800. It's
true that energy through a system will cause the system to organize
itself.

Now, we can't wait to play. Here are the tour dates.

JUNE 2 - REGINA, SK - O'HANLONS
JUNE 5 - WINDSOR, ON - THE AVALON FRONT
JUNE 6 - LONDON, ON - CALL THE OFFICE
JUNE 7 - HAMILTON, ON - THE CASBAH
JUNE 11 - NEW YORK, NY - PIANOS
JUNE 12 - OTTAWA, ON - ZAPHOD BEEBLEBROX
JUNE 13 - TORONTO, ON - KATHEDRAL
JUNE 14 - SUDBURY, ON - THE TOWNEHOUSE
JUNE 15 - SAULT STE. MARIE, ON - DOWNBEAT
JUNE 16 - THUNDER BAY, ON - APOLLO
JUNE 17 - WINNIPEG, MB - DYLAN O'CONNORS

**********


We realize that you've never heard of Richard Swift. We here at Secretly Canadian will change that. In fact, Richard Swift will consume your life. "The Collection Vol. 1" is a great place to start. "The Novelist" - Swift's highly acclaimed, succinct, eight song, nineteen minute and thirty-eight second-long, audiophile archivist experiment - immediately ushers the listener deep into the recesses of Swift's creative core for a kaleidoscopic trip aboard an intergalactic vaudevillian steamship with a speakeasy code-word. Yet, "The Novelist" is only one small manifestation of Swift's entire musical manifesto and only one-half of this double-disc set. "Walking Without Effort" - the second disc in the two-disc set - is the first, and perhaps most deceptively complex, yet decisively understated, Swift release to date. A slight step eastward from the eclectic musings of "The Novelist", "Walking Without Effort" intentionally paints another image, and baptizes believers born-again into Swift's unique brand of sonic schizophrenia. Gramophones are replaced by 8-tracks and Persian rugs are covered with shag, as Swift nods to the early 70's solo efforts of McCartney and Harrison, while waving to Burt Bacharach and Van Dyke Parks. They're just passersby as he drives down main street in a Rolls Royce Silver Shadow. Don't be scared, be excited that Swift intends on writing and releasing music until the day he dies and intends to never make the same record twice... not even on a double-disc.

Harmony Trowbridge @ NXNE - invitation

She can floor you with her loveliness. NNNN" NOW Magazine



"So, there's this Harmony Trowbridge dynamo. She spits mad lyrical dynamite. Her voice makes boys go crazy and she is the first sexy thing to come out of Toronto since Buddy Cole." Pop Montreal



Harmony Trowbridge

@ NXNE

Saturday, June 10th

@ The Free Times Cafe

320 College Street

11PM



Harmony Trowbridge is a fugitive mango in January. Two lone snowflakes in July. A girl who writes singular indie-pop songs and performs them in a duo with her husband, Adam. She has an EP called Amoraphobe where she is singing
sad love songs by herself. She has a new CD coming up -- it will have a bunch of new songs and she won't be by herself this time. Harmony's music is a witch doctor's poultice applied directly to the heart in need of repair.
You should go see her show. It's good, and you might cry. You need a good cry. Good music for: people who are/were bullied and/or who are/were bullies AND those who didn't go traveling after highschool AND the sad. Also enjoyed by: the popular AND the athletic.

for bringing superb edgy and/or emerging talent to the public. This time
out Ripper is featuring two youthful acts....

Spiral Beach ­ Having grown up in the exuberant chaos of the Canadian folk
music community, members - Daniel and Airick Woodhead, Maddy Wilde and
Dorian Thornton - spent their formative years hanging around backstage jams
at festivals across the country. As a group these young performers create
edgy and inventive pop music that draws inspiration from the Beatles,
Talking Heads and Radiohead. Their distinctive sound combines a strong
groove with clever harmonies. They have just released their self-titled CD
and are booked for the 2006 Mariposa Folk Festival in Orillia, July 7-8-9.

Clare Love - direct from her Soma-a-go-go performance at Loco Local

missed.

new EP ³Crackle². http://www.eugeneripper.com
