We first officially introduced you to Parlovr back in March and in the short amount of time since then, they have gone on to make many more friends and fans! This isn't at all surprising to us, not only does Parlovr make great music, but they're pretty charismatic guys! Check out the piece from The Recommender (link below) and when you're done with that check Parlovr our on the CBC Radio 3 podcast!

Tokyo Police Club is back in a big way! If you've heard Champ, then you're in the know and we don't need to tell you how amazing this band is, how great the album is or how badly you should want to see them live! What you do need us to tell you is that Dine Alone Records in association with 102.1 The Edge and Flight Center are offering the chance for you and a friend to see Tokyo Police Club perform new material from their album Champ in LA!
For more info, head over to the Edge!

Late Show with David Letterman Announcement!

06.28.10 | posted by: Jordan

Ok, so it's no secret that Monday's aren't everyone's favourite, but while you're sitting there at your desk rubbing weekend sleep out of your eyes and injecting java trying to perk up to tackle the week, we would like to tell you something sure to make your Monday, or at least your Monday night a little better. Tonight, Tokyo Police Club will be performing on the David Letterman Late Show!!
They will be guesting with the likes of Kristen Stewart, Gary Faulkner (guy who tried to hunt down Bin Laden) and John Isner. Ok, TPC is the best part of that lineup (unless you're a twi-hard) but you know you wanna watch!
If you don't already have a copy of Champ in your iTunes, what are you waiting for??

Hot Hot Heat Blackout!

06.21.10 | posted by: Jordan

NXNE is crazy every year, but some performances this year are still being talked about.
One in particular was the exclusive Hot Hot Heat performance at the RedBull music academy space in downtown Toronto. While Hot Hot Heat made their way through a commanding, high-energy set, fans downed RedBull, danced to new tracks off "Future Breeds" and sang along to old favourites. The energy was too much, resulting in a blackout! Read more on Spinner (see link below).
This wasn't the only show Hot Hot Heat played. The band took the stage the next night at the Mod Club for the Edge 102 showcase, pleasing fans and wow-ing the crowd. See NXNE report card below!
