The Weakerthans

Live at the Burton Cummings Theatre

Live album - both formats include a dvd !

The Weakerthans come from Winnipeg, Manitoba, the geographic center of North America.

Having built a fanatical fanbase touring through the US and Canada, the Weakerthans finally offer a permanent record of one of their fantastic live shows, recorded on the tour for their triumphant 2007 release Reunion Tour.

With an expanded line up that includes trumpet, violin and female vocals, the Weakerthans run through songs from all four of their albums, in front of an adoring hometown audience, singing along with every lingering word.

White Stripes

Under Great White Northern Skies

The first ever live album from Detroit’s WHITE STRIPES, recorded in Canada!

Available on LP or a CD/DVD set.

In the summer of 2007, shortly after the release of their 6th album ‘Icky Thump’, embarked on an ambitious journey across Canada. The plan was to play a show in every province and territory in Canada, from B.C. to Newfoundland to Nunavut.

“Having never done a tour of Canada, Meg and I thought it was high time to go whole hog, from the ocean to the permafrost” says Jack White. “We wanted to play out of the way towns that don’t usually get shows - the shows are better, it’s better for the people, it’s a better experience, it’s way more unique, something interesting is going to happen - hopefully”.

What the album does best is document one of the biggest bands in the world, playing to local crowds in small towns.

Some of these towns were so small that many of the locals had no idea who The White Stripes were - they just knew something big was going on in their town.
This forced a band that had been together for a decade to go back to a place reminiscent of the first shows they ever played together.

Gorillaz

Plastic Beach

Deluxe CD/DVD edition includes a bonus DVD that contains a 45 minute documentary on the ‘making of’ the album hosted by Murdoc but featuring creators Damon Albarn and Jamie Hewlett.

Long awaited 2010 album from the genre-defying animated musical collective.

Five years on from the release of Demon Days, Murdoc Niccals and Co. return with Plastic Beach.

The band have taken up residence, recording on a secret floating island deep in the South Pacific, a plastic beach HQ, made up of the detritus, debris and washed up remnants of humanity.

This plastic beach is the furthest point from any landmass on earth; the most deserted spot on the planet.

As the world’s biggest animated band, Gorillaz formed in 1998, and have since sold 12 million copies over two albums!

Broken Bells

S/T

2010 debut album from this duo featuring James Mercer (The Shins) and Brian Burton (AKA Danger Mouse).

The album features 10 melodically seductive and psychologically provocative songs co-written and performed by Mercer and Burton.

The album features Mercer on vocals, guitars and bass while Burton plays organ, drums, piano, synths and bass.

The pair play all the instruments on the album with the exception of a full string section arranged by Daniele Luppi.

Pavement

Quarantine the Past - Greatest Hits

New collection from the Indie Rock legends, which spans the entirety of Pavement’s career from 1989 to 1999.

The compilation takes the listener on a trip, from the scratchy and mysterious sounds of their early vinyl-only releases up to the rich, multilayered warmth of their final recordings.

Although it does not include any unreleased material, it definitely digs deeper than the hits.

Pavement

Watery Domestic / Wowee / Slanted / Brighten / Crooked / Terror

Released in conjunction with the reunion tour, Matador has reissued all the Pavement releases on LP.

Download coupon included.

The Brian Jonestown Massacre

Who Killed Sgt Pepper ?

Recorded in early & late 2009 between Iceland & Berlin with a US tour in between, the Brian Jonestown Massacre move forward with this new full length album “Who Killed Sergeant Pepper ?”.

Working with musicans of the likes of Will Carruthers (ex Spacemen 3 & Spiritualized) , Unnur Andrea Einarsdottir (who recorded vocals on the last BJM album) and other musicians from France, Germany and Iceland, this is the band’s most ‘multicultured’ release to date, while still retaining their trademark style throughout the course of the album.

The 13 tracks ranging from the ambient bhangra beats to rock to shoegaze to gypsy influences of Eastern Europe music & then back again to the subliminal all tinged with the bands trademark psych.

Shout Out Louds

Work

The third full-length album from Sweden’s Shout Out Louds.

Produced by Phil Ek (Fleet Foxes, The Shins), Work strips away all of the bells and whistles of previous efforts to showcase the band doing what they do best, writing and playing Pop music that is nostalgic and angst-ridden, but ultimately life-affirming.
