Sudbury based, Ox will be performing at Wilser's Room Tuesday, November 8th with Al Tuck! Cool! To get you pumped, Mark from Ox took part in our Locals 10 interview, check it out!
1.Name something you consider a mind-altering work of art. -Submitted by Ross. L Sanchez
OX: The Pyramids, Stonehenge, the city of Venice... and, Fantastic Mr. Fox.
2. Who do you think are some of the best bands from your town? - Submitted by Brockstar
Ox: Best bands from Sudbury... there's a great music scene here- with a great 'community' spirit (ie. everyone supports everyone) Many to choose from... I'm liking a new band called Meadowlark 5. Fred Squire and Kate Maki of course, and The Statues are certainly up there.
3. Are all bands sell-outs once they buy instruments? - Submitted by Corporocracy
OX: It's pretty tough to 'sell out' as a professional musician doing your own thing given the money we live on! I'd say, once you start doing cover gigs on a regular basis, or weddings- you're starting to cross the line. Again though, I can't blame any musician for trying to pay the bills.
4. What is / was the most gawd awful place you've ever slept while on tour? (ie. dumpster on fire) - Submitted by Before
Ox: There has certainly been a few... I slept on a pool table once in Thunder Bay- also, under a dining room table in a student house in Nottingham, UK, while a pretty lame party went on in the room next door. A friend arranged a place for me in Cork, Ireland once: a bachelor apartment with 12 people living there. I had to clear a space on the floor of old pizza boxes and beer bottles.
5. Your band orders pizza (ONLY ONE PIZZA) what goes on it? -Submitted by Jamie Lynn
Ox: I'm vegan so, its hard to accomodate me. If they have it, sundried tomatoes, olives, mushrooms, arugula- with ground pepper on top. No cheese obviously.
6. Imagine you're watching a concert and one of the band members spontaneously combusts. You get called to the stage to replace that band member. Who's the band? - Stolen from JoeTrainortrio.com
Ox: Is this a test? Spinal Tap man... who else?
7. What's the most rock star thing that you've ever done? - Stolen from JoeTrainortrio.com
Ox: I got it on at 5am with a girl in her back garden once... after a gig. Total stranger at an after party... I'm not really proud of these things.
8. What are your current fixations? -Submitted by Ross. L Sanchez
Ox: I'm hooked on Ancient Aliens.
9.What does your mom wish you were doing instead? -Submitted by Ross. L Sanchez
Ox: I believe she's into what I'm doing right now.
10. Why do you do whatever it is that you do? - Submitted by Ross. L Sanchez
Ox: Just could never stand the thought of a cookie cutter, 9-5 cubicle job.

Last winter, New Brunswick chamber-folk group The Olympic Symphonium curated two days of music in their hometown as a way of celebrating their third album. The overwhelming success of the ‘Shivering Songs’ festival made it apparent that there was a demand for folk music in beautiful, quiet settings around the heart of Fredericton and the band decided to make it an annual event.
We are extremely pleased to announce this year’s headliner Mark Kozelek (Sun Kil Moon / Red House Painters) from San Francisco, who will perform the Saturday evening show at the Wilmot United Church. Kozelek has been creating music for over 20 years and consistently releasing albums to unanimous critical praise. His most recent full-length, Admiral Fell Promises, is an evolution in style and impressive progression on the guitar. Inspired by classical guitarists like Andrés Segovia and Ana Vidovic, the stunning finger-work plays compliment to his unique voice and hypnotizing measure perfectly. What’s more, Kozelek will be releasing a new album in November through his Caldo Verde label.
We are also excited to announce that New Brunswick author David Adams Richards will be joining the festival as our annual storyteller. Richards is one of only three writers to earn the Governor General’s Literary Awards for fiction (Nights Below Station Street) and non-fiction (Lines on the Water). He was nominated for Governor General Literary Awards for his novels Road to the Stilt House, For Those Who Hunt the Wounded Down, Mercy Among the Children, and The Lost Highway. Evening Snow Will Bring Such Peace won the Canadian Authors Association Award and For Those Who Hunt the Wounded Down garnered the Alden Nowlan Award for Excellence in English Language Literary Arts and the Thomas Raddall Atlantic Fiction Award.
The Bluegrass Brunch will return to Shivering Songs, but will be held at the Farmer’s Market on George St this year to accommodate a large amount of attendees. And of course, The Olympic Symphonium will perform at the festival as well. They are currently up for Group, Anglophone and Folk Recording of the Year at the Music New Brunswick Awards and will also perform at the event in mid-October. A second wave of artist announcements and a more detailed schedule will be revealed near the end of the month.
Ticket info: Come see the whole weekend with just one ticket: * Enjoy Saturday afternoon’s Songwriter/Storyteller event and the evening show with Mark Kozelek, The Bluegrass Brunch with Alan Jeffries at Fredericton Farmers Market, and more TBA!

New York City based band "Turtle Boy," will be performing Saturday, October 8th at Wilser's Room in Fredericton in support of their new album "Smart Matter." Ryan from the band recently took part in our Locals Top 10, chec it out below!
1. What's the meanest thing ever said to you before, during or after a gig?
Ryan: "Grunge guitar has no business being in a jazz club" after an Ottawa show and "You suck Turtleboy!" followed by "GO back to Montreal Turtleboy!" (Same Person) during a show in Toronto.
2. What's going on with your band right now? (This is your chance to plug your shit)
Ryan: We're currently based out of Brooklyn, NY, where we just released our second album "Smart Matter" on Songlines Recordings. Recently we've been focussing on developing new promotional materials, touring in Canada, and performing in New York. We just finished a new website www.turtleboytrio.com, new photos, press kit, and music video which can all be found on the website.
We're currently about to embark on our second tour in Canada this year to promote our new release and are continuing on developing our presence in New York City.
3. Who do you think are some of the best bands from your town?
Ryan: Well... all three of us are from different places, have different musical interests so that's hard to answer. Although we have spent several years in together in both Montreal and New York as a band. I'd have to say Arcade Fire from Montreal (if you come to our show you'll hear us cover one of their songs) and Dirty Projectors from Brooklyn.
4. What was your worst venue - or other band - or promoter experience(s)? - Please feel free to be as vague or specific as you like.
Ryan: Worst venue and possibly worst experience was this extremely bizarre underground cafe/bar in Plateau Montreal that had every board game and VHS you could think of from your childhood. We played there several times and we're always getting into it with the owner because he wanted to explore a concept of his where each band member was set up in a different room on a different makeshift stage (mine was a round table top balanced on an old car tire. It was an endless argument to explain to him that visual and verbal communication was essential in creating our music... not to mention that we wouldn't be able to even hear each other.
5. Do you have any other projects you would like your fans to know about?
Ryan: Currently this is all three of our main musical projects.
6. What have been your career highs and lows?
Ryan: Opening for some international jazz icons in Banff Alberta and our New York album release and Showing up to a club in Saint John, NB, to an audience of zero people on our first tour in 2009.
7. What artist (living or dead) would you love to have design your next album?
Ryan: Salvador Dali (1904 - 1989) or Don Herztfeld.
8. What has been your most memorable or inspirational gig and why?
Ryan: At a club in Edmonton, AB of all places. We we're treated great, payed great, fed, comfortable green room, sold CD's, signed CD's, good turnout and enthusiastic crowd, the venue recorded our performance for us, and we got 2-reviews.
9. What's the weirdest named venue you've played?
Ryan: Canmore Senior Citizens Community Centre
10. What has been your strangest celebrity encounter?
Ryan: Former NHL All Star Eric Lindross threw several golfballs out his hotel window at me.

Matt Costa has been doing a bit of research on Atlantic.
He's been listening to traditional music, reading up on the history of the area, and asking questions about life in the Maritimes.
"Are there any log-jams there recently?" he wondered, probably only half-seriously, during a recent interview with City Live.
You see, the East Coast of Canada is a bit of a foreign land for the Huntington Beach, California native. And much of the material he's been able to get his hands on in California celebrates the vibrant cultural history of Atlantic Canada's early settlers - the fur and lumber trades, the fishing and shipbuilding industries.
That's why he's so excited to make his way to the region for the very first time this week. He'll be making a stop-over in Fredericton to play an Aug. 31 show at The Capital Bar.
"That was the goal: to get out and see what I could see," he said.
The talented singer-songwriter, who is signed to folk-singer Jack Johnson's music label Brushfire Records, has found a way to mix catchy acoustic folk-songs with pop-flavoured piano ditties and indie-rock anthems over the course of his musical career.
He's currently touring in support of his 2010 release Mobile Chateau, but has been enjoying some time off lately by learning how to play bluegrass music.
When asked whether that catches some of his fans by surprise, Costa said he explains to them that by opening his mind to a variety of musical sounds he improves his skills as a musician.
"I guess sometimes people get caught off-guard," he said. "When you trace everything back to its roots, it goes back pretty far. And you find yourself, once you're back there, that it's probably closely related to a lot of different styles and genres. You can see how different sounds branched out. I like to learn about the techniques and styles in order to get better at other instruments."
Costa said he's hoping to surprise East Coast fans with a special cover song. "I was at this music shop (in California) and I bought these CDs. You know, Folkways records? They put out all the Smithsonian things. One of them was (Smithsonian Folkways) Songs of the Maritimes: Lumberman Songs and Songs of the Sea," he said.
"I found it and I was like, 'I'm going to get that and I'm going to learn one of these songs,' so I could do my version of it when I'm up there."
Costa took the time to list some of the names of the old-time tunes - a series of traditional songs that included Duffy's Hotel, The Scow of the Cowden's Shore, and the curiously named Beware of Larry Gorman.
When City Live told him those may not inspire any audience sing-alongs, he laughed and promised to update his sound.
"I'll try to do a hybrid. I'll take one of these songs and transform it. I'll rewrite some of it or something and make it new," he said.
The show is expected to start at 9 p.m.

Indie rock fans: you should probably catch The Paint Movement on their spin through New Brunswick. Because if the stellar sound of their new full-length album is any indication, they're about to blow up.
Here spoke to saxophonist Jason Loftman from Missisauga on the day of the self-titled album's release. The Toronto-based six-piece band blends rock and pop with both male and female vocals, plus some sing-along-worthy group chants. One year in the making, during which time the band didn't play any live shows, the album was produced by Canadian icon David Newfeld, whose producer credits include Broken Social Scene and Apostle of Hustle.
Over the phone, Loftman sounded more than ready to hold the album in his hand. His impatience is warranted: the band finished up recording nearly eight months ago, but had to wait until all the details were finalized before releasing it to the masses. "We've been waiting for this day. I feel wonderful...now it's finally here and there's no hiding. It's all out in the open and you just see how people feel about it, and play the tracks."

Ghost Cousin's second cross-Canada tour was going perfectly. The shows were packed, the weather was great and the band got along.
Then, on a stop near Sault Ste. Marie, keyboard player David Letersky picked up a carved wooden statue of a scowling old man - a talisman that cast a curse upon the trip.
"He mounted it on the dashboard as a mascot to tease us and encourage us. He gave it this ridiculous little voice. Then, we all got sick, one of our shows got cancelled and there were promotional mishaps," the band's drummer Matthew Letersky said. "The past couple days have been a little hectic."
They've been playing together under the name for three years, but Ghost Cousin have only been gigging in the world since last summer. To envision their spacey, melodic pop, think Grizzly Bear or Midlake.
Though this journey has been haunted, Matthew says their name isn't because the band is drawn to the paranormal; the Letersky brothers' dad came up with their name.
"One day we got a phone call from him and he didn't even say hello," Matthew said. "He said 'Prophet and Anarchy!' There was a little cringe on our end, then he said 'OK, OK, OK. Ghost Cousin?'"

This July, Eastern Canada and the Maritimes are being taken by storm by Woodstock Ontario's progressive groove metal outfit Misguided Aggression as they embark on the 'Unshaved & Unbathed' Canadian Tour. The trek is in support of their just-released sophomore album, 'Flood The Common Ground'.
"We've been working really hard this year to get this album out the way we wanted to," comments guitarist Ben Dobson. "This tour is very important to us because it's our vehicle for sharing the new music with new people, live and in their faces!"
Misguided Aggression's rhythmically punishing sound has often been referred to as combining the power of Pantera, the aggression of Lamb of God, and the precision of Meshuggah.

It would be an understatement to say Tyler Lombard was in a rush when Here caught up with him. Enlarge Photo Click to Enlarge Click to Enlarge
Lombard, who is 50 per cent of Fredericton-based duo The Arka Teks, was waiting for the master copy of the band's album to finish burning when we spoke by phone.
"When you throw so many different sounds on an album we were thinking, how are people going to react? You might like it, but when they listen to it, it's a different story."
After our chat, he planned to throw the CD in a suitcase and catch a flight to Toronto to attend a meet and greet with executives at record label EMI.
The Arka Teks, who make dance-provoking, electronic beats combined with Lombard's pop vocals, recently learned they made the top 10 in an EMI-sponsored competition. The grand prize is a single song recording contract serviced to radio stations across Canada.
Lombard said it's been a hectic time since he and bandmate Nick Fowler started producing the album, called Evolver, last winter.
After their trip to Toronto, it'll be time for The Arka Teks to release Evolver into the world, with parties in Saint John and Fredericton.
Lombard assures his fans not to expect anything they've heard before.
"It's a change from the last album. It's definitely much more eclectic sounding, with a lot of different influences."

In the video To Aid the Getaway, a guy in a bear suit escapes hunters by crashing a pond hockey game. Accompanied by tight, peppy guitar rock, Mr. Bear smashes through the ice and starts chawin' on a salmon.
Does it surprise anyone that Alert the Medic are East Coast fan faves?
The NS foursome is striking out into the wilderness on a new spate of Maritime dates. Ryan MacDonald (vocals, guitar), Matt Campbell (bass) and Dale Wilson (drums) grew up in rural NS. More recently, Troy Arseneault (guitar) joined the fray.
Alert the Medic has opened for the likes of Our Lady Peace, and played with Crush, Joel Plaskett and the Trews. They've received loads of accolades: two ECMA nominations, and two Nova Scotia Music Award nominations for Pop Rock Artist/Recording of the Year and Group/Recording of the Year.
Their latest record, We the Weapon, demonstrates the exceptional musicianship that sets these guys apart. It's available through iTunes and select record stores.
"We're energetic live: we're influenced by the Seattle grunge scene in the 1990s when it was pretty loud," says Campbell.
Though the boys are poised for a breakthrough, they remain anchored. "We're small town guys, not wild partiers," Campbell assures us. "We haven't burned anything down. Come see our show. We're completely normal." Famous last words.
