Especialy in the wake of the Dawson College shooting, we must never forget these tragedies in hopes to eradicate their existence in the world altogether. RIP.

James Hunter, Cold War Kids, Neko Case all fantastic... My taste has just burgeoned... I still listen to the dead, allmans, phish, beatles etc.. but I like UMTBS and Panic at the Disco too. I'm not trying to convert anyone.. I just like music.

The album is very dark, radiohead-ish.. not coldplay-ish at all. Not sure why, but their new name is PILOT SPEED. its much worse.

have you heard the album Luke?

It'll be a nice mix of Kae Sun and WTTS.

I really like the album. Ignore away though

In no particular order, my list. 1. Pilate - Sell Control for Life's Speed 2. The Slip - Eisenhower 3. Jenny Lewis - Rabbit Fur Coat 4. Hylozoists - La Fin Du Monde 5. Patrick Watson - Close To Paradise 6. Islands - Return to the Sea I know I've missed tons... but 6 is enough to spark discussion.

wasn't it still phish sanctuary when we started on this?

I suck.

It's a great album. I agree.

- The shows opening for JSB will be a 'set blender' of sorts with WTTS. We're playing some of our songs, some of their songs and reworking each to fit both bands. Toronto and Mississauga will feature full sets by each band as well. Tourdates THR, Jan 11 - The Red Dog, Peterborough, ON w/ The Jimmy Swift Band WED, Jan 17 - Third Floor Reilly's, Toronto, ON w/ Shad K and What The Thunder Said THR, Jan 18 - The Pepper Jack Cafe, Hamilton, ON w/ The Jimmy Swift Band FRI, Jan 19 - Vinyl, Guelph, ON w/ The Jimmy Swift Band SAT, Jan 20 - Streetsville Sound Bar, Mississauga, ON w/ What The Thunder Said BIO: Fresh off winning the Hamilton Music Award for Hip-Hop Recording of the Year, Kae Sun will be hitting the road with his band in January before returning to the studio to record a follow-up to 2006s award-winning Soliloquy. Kae Sun is hip hop's true believer; a diverse musician with an uplifting repertoire. Whether singing or rapping, Kae Sun communicates honesty and realism through a raw, inspired and soulful vocal style coupled with progressive and politically charged lyricism. As stated in Echo Weekly, Kae Sun "abandons bling for brains, as his words both embrace and transcend the human condition." Over the past few years, in collaboration with several musicians and bands, Kae Sun has initiated a sound deeply rooted within but not restricted to the traditions of reggae, soul, funk, gospel and hip-hop music. Soliloquy released in January 2006 under Toronto based Life Records Entertainment debuted to a sold out audience of over 300 in Hamilton. Subsequently, Soliloquy garnered heavy underground and local recognition leading to favourable press coverage, a tour of southern Ontario and heavy rotation on college radio including charting with McMaster's CFMU. Furthermore, the album garnered attention as far as Memphis, Tennessee and Amsterdam, including a request to have "Kidnapped" and "Stay Up" featured in an independent movie in Austria. "Stay Up" has also been featured on Pulse Radio in London, UK. Kae Sun has also been featured as the cover story with both Hamilton's VIEW Magazine and Kitchener/Waterloo's ECHO Weekly, and he received acclaimed press in the Hamilton Spectator, McMaster Silhouette, London Free Press, MonkeyBiz and Music in Ghana. Kae Sun has shared the stage with Jackie Richardson, DK Ibomeka, Shad K, K-os, Bob Egan of Blue Rodeo, Vanderpark and many other Canadian bands and musicians from across the genre map. Live, Kae Sun is a force. Each stage performance, whether performing alone, with an acoustic act or full band, is a spiritual journey encompassing the best of the secular and sacred paradigms at once. Kae Sun's music is heartfelt, thoughtful, incisive and critical without being exhaustively didactic. Whether rhyming or singing, Kae Sun reminds you that while there is eternal beauty among us, there is always work to be done to make things better for everyone. A true testament of the engagingly personal culture of Western Africa, Kae Sun is the perfect blend of old and new, foreign and familiar, groove and soul. Political, spiritual, prolific, melodic and soulful, Kae Sun proves that hip-hop is flourishing without the shackles of demeaning lyricism, gangsta-intonation and negativity. Come see for yourself. Kae Sun will be supporting Below Me Music Artists The Jimmy Swift Band in Hamilton and Guelph, Shad K in Toronto and Fredyv and Black Soil in Montreal. Guelph's What The Thunder Said will be accompanying Kae Sun throughout the tour as his support band, as well as playing sets of their own.

He abandons bling for brains, and his words both embrace and transcend the human condition... -Denise de la Frenier .. Echo Weekly ..Soulful, socially conscious Canadian hip-hop has a new name to champion. And since K-os and K..Naan have proven the success of the letter K, it won..t be too difficult to embrace Kae Sun .. especially since he sounds so good... .. Lori Mastronardi, London Free Press. ..His new album, Soliloquy, also lives in two worlds, so to speak, combining the rhythms of hip-hop with live instrumentation. The songs combine the western and the African, the gospel and the secular, the social and the spiritual... .. James Tennant, Hamilton Spectator ..Lyrically and musically, Kae Sun's expression is for the most part competent and cosmopolitan, melodic and mature, and even at times as inspiring as it is inspired, casting aside the boasting that permeates pop hip hop and delving into his own musical roots from the classics... - Ric Taylor, View Magazine, Hamilton

cool... include us in this next time

Today, Today.. 1. Gomez - How we Operate 2. Ghosty - Grow up or Sleep In 3. Coldplay - Parachutes 4. The Weakerthans - Reconstruction Site 5. Gillian Welch - Revival

I'm jealous.

they don't have an album, hence not on oink.

I remember sitting on the sidestage of the bar in Reykjavik with members of Patrick Watson, Islands and Wolf Parade, and we all fucking givn'r to the extreme. This was pure rock! They have an open offer from Pop Montreal now too Shirts off, booze all over the place, instruments all over the place. Plus, these kids are 16. They are still in high school.

The Best Band I Saw In Iceland I'm not joking. This is all done live, no samples. I stumbled upon them in Reykjavik and boy, was it insane. Watch the video.

Both Branford Marsalis and Wayne Shorter are coming to Amsterdam next year. I am seeing Jack DeJohnette on Saturday at the Bimhuis in the dam, though. I'm so fucking stoked.

you'll get it. I know it.

cheers!

I'm jealous.. I wish I could go too. well worth $88.

I thought Ron Mann already made 'Grass.'

If so, Then just send me a PM or e-mail me at shain@kaesunmusic.com and I'll send you a link on where to download it. peace!
