Young Galaxy

Lame phrase, but I like it.

As you can guess, The Singing Lamb is going to take a tiny, miniscule break from the site! Lambs have school work to catch up on too, you know! And don’t worry, by “Singing Lamb”, I just mean me (Melody). The rest of the staff should still be around, posting exciting news and features for everyone! And by “break”, I mean I’ll only be gone for 2 week, max! I’ll still send news updates over to others to post up so don’t worry, the News Updates will still be around!

May as well leave you with some fantastic news updates though!

Breaking news: Death Cab For Cutie will be at the Sound Academy on Sunday April 5th. This is an all-ages show and it’s a pricy one too – $40.50. But as a good side note, Ra Ra Riot and Cold War Kids will be opening.

Ohbijou’s April 18th show at the Opera House has been postponed as well as its release date. Further details TBA.

And last but not least, Montreal’s Young Galaxy have finally announced a new album! A release date has not been decided on yet but we do know that the new album is called Invisible Republic and the band has a new single out called “Long Live the Fallen World”. The song is fantastic; a slight departure from their debut self-titled album, but still possesses dreamy pop elements, fused with danceable beats and beautiful vocals from Catherine McCandless. To download the track right now, go to their website! The band will preview their new material on tour so I recommend you check out their set at the Horseshoe during CMW (March 14th, as part of Chartattack’s showcase)! Also, look out for a follow-up interview with lead singer, Stephen Ramsay soon!

See you soon and don’t forget – happy listening!

Musically,
Melody
