4. Organizing younger workers
Of all the things you might expect from a union convention, free performances from Stars and Sloan's Chris Murphy were probably not one of them. However, both are scheduled this weekend, with Murphy playing at a Saturday night event at the Sheraton Hotel and Stars headlining a free concert at Nathan Phillips Square. Is Unifor trying to score points with the Pitchfork crowd? Probably not, but they are trying to reach out to a younger generation of activists and workers, many of whom are suffering through precarious working situations and a lack of entry level jobs. Free concerts are just one way to reach out to a demographic that may not have any contact with the labour movement otherwise. It'll be interesting to track what other strategies Unifor leaders employ to attract younger members.

Dearly Beloved UK & Europe September Tour Dates
--taken from: WithGuitars
by Steve Janes
Originally released May 22, 2012 via eOne Music Canada, Hawk vs. Pigeon is the latest buzz bomb from bass masher Rob Higgins and fellow co-vocalist Niva Chow who, together, form Dearly Beloved. With UK and European tour dates lined up throughout September 2013, even more in November for continental Europe, Dearly Beloved knew it was time for Hawk vs. Pigeon to find a home for an overseas release. Aporia Records will be releasing a special redux of the album in the UK later this year.
“Just this past May, we took our European tour aspirations and a ‘why not?’ approach to playing Indie Week Ireland and that trip led directly to working with AMA Music Agency in Dublin,” recalls Higgins. “As well, a plum opening slot at an all ages gig at Glasgow’ best venue, the Classic Grand, that offered up some more gigs…that train kept rolling. Synchronicity, kismet, call it what you like but we’ve experienced it more than a few times these last 3 or 4 years.”
Hawk vs. Pigeon (Redux) features completely new album artwork, an inspired and fresh re-sequencing of the album and a previously un-released bonus collaboration called “Never Tell The Truth” with Patrick Pentland of Sloan.
“Releasing this revamped version of Hawk vs. Pigeon is like breathing a second life into the album,” says Chow. “I’m excited to rock this next phase of Dearly Beloved.”
Hawk vs. Pigeon was recorded in Joshua Tree, California at Rancho De La Luna and the band’s Phoebe Street Studios and features a veritable who’s who of outstanding guest musician appearances: Dave Catching of Eagles Of Death Metal /Earthlings?, Brendan Canning of Broken Social Scene, Mars Volta/M83 alumni Dave Elitch, Jeff Heisholt of The Trews and Care Failure of Die Mannequin.
“I have always championed Dearly Beloved and I am huge fan of their live show,” says Pentland. “Their songs are the perfect blend of the excitement of punk rock, the sing-a-long-ability of pop with a dash of muso/prog rock noodleing, thanks in large part to Higgins’ amazing bass skills. High powered riffs and melody lines that make me jealous.”

Dearly Beloved "Never Tell the Truth" (ft. Patrick Pentland)
--taken from: Exclaim!
by Alex Hudson
Last year, Toronto alt-rock outfit Dearly Beloved released their album Hawk vs Pigeon through eOne here in Canada, and now they've signed to Aporia for the release in the UK, the U.S. and Europe. This beefed-up version includes different track sequencing, new artwork, and a bonus cut called "Never Tell the Truth" featuring Sloan's Patrick Pentland.
Clocking in at a little more than two minutes, "Never Tell the Truth" is a burst of punk-inspired energy and meaty bass grooves. Stream it below.
"I have always championed Dearly Beloved and I am a huge fan of their live show," Pentland said in a statement. "Their songs are the perfect blend of the excitement of punk rock, the sing-a-long-ability of pop with a dash of muso/prog rock noodling, thanks in large part to Higgins' amazing bass skills.

RiotFest reviewed with Sloan’s Patrick Pentland
--taken from: The Grid TO
by Signals
In our new feature +1, The Grid’s Liisa Ladoucuer reviews a concert in tandem with a local musician to get a pro’s perspective on the performance. For this inaugural edition, Liisa hits the second day of RiotFest at Fort York with Sloan’s Patrick Pentland for his take on two resurrected punk-rock institutions: Iggy and The Stooges and, playing their first show in over two decades, The Replacements.
The pre-game show
Lissa: RiotFest’s second day is for the old-timers. I even see a gentleman wearing a t-shirt that simply says, “Still Punk.” Oh, there are kids here, on their dads’ shoulders, and teenagers, too. But Fort York is mostly filled with folks who, depending on their age, have been listening to The Stooges and/or the Replacements before they broke up—1974 and 1991, respectively—and there’s an especially huge buzz for the first show from the latter in 22 years. Myself, I’m here to see Rocket From the Crypt tear it up—in snazzy suits colour coordinated to their Marshalls, it turns out—and then watch Iggy Pop do what he does best: display the raw power of rock ‘n’ roll—with his shirt off. And to find out what my first guest musician co-reviewer will think.
Patrick: I’ve seen The Stooges before, at that free NXNE show. Sloan actually played the night before The Stooges, and we had the largest crowd ever for Yonge and Dundas Square. But then the next night The Stooges broke that record. We were big for one night. The thing is, Iggy should be dead—like Keith Richards or Lemmy. But he never took a break from performing and he brings all that experience to the stage now. I think that’s why it’s called Iggy and the Stooges, and not just The Stooges.
Lissa: Do you think he’s going to come out with his shirt off?
Patrick: I hope not. But probably.
Lissa: What about The Replacements? I am admittedly not well educated about them.
Patrick: Me neither. This will be my first time seeing them. They’ve had such an iconic status after they broke up. It’s kind of like the Pixies. And I know there are a bunch of people that came here just for them and it’s a huge deal for them to see them play. For me, that band was Jesus and Mary Chain so I know what that’s like.
Post-game analysis
Patrick: I liked the Stooges. They opened with “Raw Power” and it sounded great. I think it was a really good performance overall, better than the Yonge and Dundas one. Even though they did some new songs. And there was a lot of sax. Unfortunately, they do have a lot of saxophone in their stuff. I don’t mind it as sort of a rhythmic instrument, but I don’t like sax solos too much. I think a lot of people feel that way.
Lissa: Yes, I feel that way. I always think of that oiled up guy in the Lost Boys movie. But at least when they played “Fun House” they have the crowd on stage dancing with them to distract from it.
Patrick: I feel that Iggy spent a good amount of the show lying down and I couldn’t see him. We play a lot of festivals and they are not ideal. It’s more of an event, something to do for the day. If you’re really just coming to “see” the band, you might be disappointed. But this was an impressively high-energy show. Iggy certainly can deliver on a big stage.
Lissa: Even when I can’t see Iggy, because he’s down in the crowd or something, I just like hearing those songs like “I Wanna Be Your Dog” played live and loud. It does feel like history coming to life.
Patrick: The way they’ve been playing these songs is pretty close to the originals. I’ve seen The Rolling Stones a few times and they don’t do “Satisfaction” the same way as on the record; it’s more modern sounding, and that’s a pitfall I think for various reasons. The Stooges don’t do that and I’m more into that. With Sloan, we try to play the songs as close to the albums as possible. It’s weird: The Stooges weren’t the headliners but they played a lot longer than they were supposed to. But who is going to pull the plug on Iggy Pop?
Lissa: Now what about The Replacements? I completely get why people love them. I thought Paul Westerberg was really quite funny and playing right into the hands of this crowd by joking right off the top about their being away for so long over a wardrobe argument. That first song “Takin’ a Ride” was blistering and more fun than I was expecting from them. But then I’m embarrassed to say I thought they were doing a Crash Test Dummies cover with “Androgynous”—I didn’t know they wrote that. It’s still a really boring song. I think the highlight for me was “Love You Till Friday” into the “Maybelline” cover. I didn’t come here for ballads.
Patrick: They look really cool, that’s for sure. But it’s a little bit like Springsteen to me. I don’t understand. The first song was kind of exciting but I need to have a certain degree of excitement in every song. That’s why I like an AC/DC riff, or why I write songs the way I do. Songs that are two chords back and forth and a good story? I’m not a lyric guy so, overall, there’s just a spark that’s not there for me. And I think I heard Paul say in reference to Tommy Stinson, “It’s been a long time since me and him were in Toronto together.” He should have said “he and I.”
Lissa: Patrick, thank you for letting this go out on a grammar joke.

The best songs by each member of Sloan
--taken from: CBC music
by: Dave Shumka
Canadian indie rock heroes Sloan recently announced plans for an ambitious new album. The idea is for a double album — that's four sides of vinyl — with each band member taking lead singing and songwriting duties for their own side. Of course, the band has always split songwriting and singing duties; whoever wrote them didn't have any bearing on their sequence in the tracklist.
The new album idea sounds like a showcase of four frontmen. And to highlight this, we've put together the top five songs by each member of Sloan thus far in their 20-plus-year career, to give an idea of what we may expect.
These lists were compiled by one man (me) who admittedly favours the band's first five albums (and that doesn't make him a bad person). Let us know in the comments below or tweet @CBC_Music, what's your favourite song by each member?
Chris Murphy's 5 best Sloan songs
5. “Penpals” (Twice Removed): Track 1 from the band's best album, pieced together from someone else's fan mail.
4. “Someone I Can Be True With” (Never Hear the End of It): A sweet, short song with some charmingly forced rhymes.
3. “She Says What She Means” (Navy Blues): The opening riff may be Sloan's best.
2. “Underwhelmed” (Smeared): The band's early alt hit with clever lyrics that reveal new meaning with each listen.
1. “Deeper Than Beauty” (Twice Removed): It almost seems like a throwaway recording with just guitar and drums, and it seems like it was written by a 13-year-old, but that's what makes it endearing. It's become a sing-along favourite at live shows, even though nobody can hit that high note.
Jay Ferguson's 5 best Sloan songs
5. “C’Mon C’Mon” (Navy Blues): One of many songs in which Ferguson perfectly evokes Time-Life's AM Gold series.
4. “I Hate My Generation” (Twice Removed): Ferguson shares lead vocals and overlapping lyrics with Murphy on this track that features the mindlessly fun "S-E-A-N-S-A-I-D" shouts.
3. “The Lines You Amend” (One Chord to Another): Remember that thing I said about AM Gold? That, again, with handclaps.
2. “Snowsuit Sound” (Twice Removed): Another handclap bonanza, this song follows "Deeper Than Beauty" on Twice Removed and matches its early adolescent romance.
1. “Don’t You Believe a Word” (Between the Bridges): I actually have no idea what this song is about but it's my favourite Sloan song. It's got those syrupy harmonies, and when Ferguson says, "C'mon, boy," it's just the greatest.
Patrick Pentland's 5 best Sloan songs
5. “Iggy and Angus” (Navy Blues): An ode to classic rock complete with throwback guitarmonies.
4. “A Long Time Coming” (Between the Bridges): Pentland sings Between the Bridges' first two rocking singles, but this twangy number overshadows them. And more guitarmonies!
3. “Money City Maniacs” (Navy Blues): Somewhere around One Chord to Another, Pentland became the primary writer of the band's radio singles, and they've never had a bigger one than this.
2. “I Can Feel It” (Twice Removed): A duet with Jennifer Pierce of Jale, and I'm just realizing I'm really into those sweet songs at the end of Twice Removed.
1. “Everything You’ve Done Wrong” (One Chord to Another): As the band's lead guitarist, Pentland leaves room for two memorable solos in this almost flawless pop song.
Andrew Scott's 5 best Sloan songs
5. “Delivering Maybes” (Between the Bridges): Scott is primarily the band's drummer, and his songs are generally complicated and cerebral, but that doesn't mean he can't write hooks.
4. “A Side Wins” (One Chord to Another): As Beatlesque as Sloan gets, the sinister jangly piano gives way to "Yellow Submarine"-style radio squawks and a cool piano breakdown.
3. “500 Up” (Smeared): Hey, wanna know what 1992 sounded like? Scott wrote this song but shares vocals with Pentland and Murphy, and it's just the fuzziest.
2. “On the Horizon” (Navy Blues): A flurry of words and horn blasts that sounds like it's about to fall apart a few times. In fact, you're never really sure whether the band or you has lost the beat, but you both always pull it together for the chorus.
1. “People of the Sky” (Twice Removed): Possibly Scott's most popular song, it's a bittersweet tune that's at once upbeat and mopey, with sad barbershop background vocals. Like many of Scott's songs, it has a really cool breakdown.

October 19 – Sloan
Sloan is four distinct songwriting voices — guitarists Patrick Pentland and Jay Ferguson, bassist Chris Murphy and drummer Andrew Scott — that nonetheless form a cohesive collective. Long-time Toronto scenesters who will always call Halifax home. They have always cited the music and aesthetic of the hardcore punk movement as a major inspiration for their independent, DIY approach to making their music and art. Today, Sloan are happy to release a 7″ single of two original songs, plus a digital album featuring covers of 12 of their favourite hardcore songs from their youth.
