bouche Posted June 29, 2005 Report Share Posted June 29, 2005 for the record, and to push CoP a little, I sent him the confirmed address. They also know to expect something in the mail.They have no canadian acts and I hope that if we push, they'll have the spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
can-o-phish Posted June 30, 2005 Report Share Posted June 30, 2005 moe.down would be cooler without moe.laughin' my sweet east coast ass off!!! Push, poke, nudge away...I'll be passing on all the info on Monday to the fellas. They've been asking about festivals close by...It would be nice to have a Canadian act for sure...Nero was too much fun... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Del Posted June 30, 2005 Report Share Posted June 30, 2005 As cool as Kevin Breit would be for moe.Down, I'd still rather see SlowCoaster and Wassabi get the two moe.Down slots... : waits for the flames : Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Del Posted June 30, 2005 Report Share Posted June 30, 2005 Booche, I'm basing it on the fact that they seem to choose bands that are considered the "top tier" jambands in Canada... nero, BNB, GTB and JSB were the four "top tier" jambands playing in Canada at the time they were chosen... Since I don't see moe. repeating side stage acts, it stands to reason that they wouldn't select BNB, GTB or JSB again... nero won't get selected for obvious reasons... So who does that leave us in Canada? Wassabi has to be considered a top tier band at the moment. I'm not talking about skill, just name recognition... I think they've earned a spot at moe.Down, especially considering the improvements they've made since last year... That leaves one spot... While SlowCoaster certainly isn't a top tier band, they've just finished a cross Canada tour, and have shown significant potential to be considered a top tier band within a year or two... Who else does that leave? There aren't any other east coast bands at the moment that are even on the radar... The west coast bands (ie. themasses) may be talented, but are relatively unknown outside of BC and Alberta... Ontario hasn't produced anyone that could even come close to being called top tier... Sure, Kevin Breit is well known, but he and the Sisters Euclid don't play anywhere besides a weekly gig in Toronto... As I said, it seems like moe. wants to use the Canadian spots to promote bands on the verge of making it big... The cream of the crop in terms of potential, so to speak... If it was based solely on talent, I'd say Kevin Breit should definitely be a pick. But our scene doesn't always place an emphasis on talent (if it did, the Disco Biscuits would have failed years ago). I think giving a slot to a band that has only played a handful of gigs outside of their hometown ahead of hard working bands that are touring to make a name for themselves isn't what moe. has in mind. Maybe I'm wrong... I certainly wouldn't complain if Kevin and the Sisters got a slot. I just feel like Wassabi and SloCo could use the exposure more than Breit's band. I think you would at least agree that the pickings are getting rather slim north of the border... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paisley Posted June 30, 2005 Report Share Posted June 30, 2005 with Del on the would rather see SlowCo/Wassabi at moe.down than Kevin Breit... just be more fun to get down to outdoors IMHOBreit's an amazing guitar player but his music doesn't evoke my supa-funkay chicken moves Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

secondtube Posted June 30, 2005 Report Share Posted June 30, 2005 i've seen kevin breit put on shows that had even the ladies in the back getting down...i think the pure talent of that man trumps him over any jamband that i can think of...('cept maybe SF&NFTS) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Booche Posted June 30, 2005 Report Share Posted June 30, 2005 Well, if moe are only picking 'jambands' and not picking based on recommendations (which, I highly doubt) then Canada is going to remain largely mis-represented, music-wise.Maybe they should stop drinking Lucky as well.

Jaimoe Posted June 30, 2005 Report Share Posted June 30, 2005 The Arcade Fire would be a nice addition to the bill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Del Posted June 30, 2005 Report Share Posted June 30, 2005 The Arcade Fire would be a nice addition to the bill.Agreed. Broken Social Scene would be amazing as well. I don't think either of these bands would be a side stage act (or should be for that matter...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
