Un autre pour le theme du vendredi

[Anglophone mode engaged: I can't understand a word, but this fucking SLAPS.]

Parce que c'est vendredi 😎

Some heavy stuff out of Edmonton, AB!

Linking the whole EP because a) it's pretty short, a 2 minute prologue and 3 songs about 3 minutes each and b) Prologue and I Do Declare are worth hearing back to back.

A blurb from SaskMusic.org:

Gil & Wil is a femme-driven country duo based out of Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, made up of members Holly Gilroy (she/her) & Aiden McRorie Wilson (she/her). The influence from prairie roots is heavily audible throughout the variety of western, bluegrass, folk, and old-time tunes each setlist holds. Bringing spice-filled original songs to the stage alongside well-placed classics, the two seamlessly blend their voices to create “harmonies so tight and in-tune that it puts the rest of the world to shame."

I have a soft spot for certain kinds of country and country-adjacent music, and this album caught my attention looking when trawling through North Sask Music Zine for more groups out of Saskatchewan. I really like this! Will definitely be watching their career with interest :)

Sup folks? Been a while :)

Here's a fun track! If you dig it and live in these places, The Count Ferrera is doing a show in Ottawa at House of Targ next Wednesday (Aug 27th), and another in Sherbrooke, QC at Le Murdoch on September 12th. Take in some live Montreal Vampire Psych Rock ;)

Félix Leclerc (1914 - 1988) était un chansonnier québécois emblématique. Auteur-compositeur, poète, écrivain, acteur et militant politique, il a marqué l'histoire culturelle du Québec. Il a été décoré de l'Ordre du Canada et de l'Ordre national du Québec. Il contribue à faire reconnaître le Québec comme une nation francophone doté d'une culture distincte.

Né à La Tuque, Leclerc était un des onze enfants de sa famille. La Grande Dépression a interrompu ses études universitaires, et il a alors travaillé comme animateur de radio à la fin des années 1930. En 1939, il est devenu rédacteur à Radio-Canada. C'est alors qu'il commença à écrire ses premières chansons.

Dans les années 1960, Leclerc était un fervent nationaliste québécois. Ses chansons de cette époque expriment ce sentiment. Particuliérement « *Qui est le père? » et « Les 100 000 Façons de tuer un homme ».

Le p'tit bonheur est la chanson la plus populaire de Leclerc et un bel exemple de « chanson poétique » québécoise.

La parfaite toune à écouter en pleurant son ex.

A song to listen to while mourning a failed relationship.

Beau Dommage était un groupe de musique folk rock venant de Montréal, Québec. Le groupe a connu un grand succès dans les années 70 et 80. Fondé en 1972, Beau Dommage a commencé comme une troupe de théâtre « La Quenouille Bleue ».

En 1974, le groupe a sorti son premier album, Beau Dommage. Cet album a battu des records de ventes à l'époque. L'année suivante, Où est passée la noce? a atteint 100 000 ventes -- dès premier jour de sa sortie !

Le groupe s'est dissous en 1978, mais en 1994, ils se sont réunis pour seulement un an. Cette année-là, ils ont produit un deuxième album intitulé Beau Dommage. L'annèe suivante, le groupe s'est à nouveau dissous, cette fois définitivement.

Today is the first French Friday!

For today, post French Canadian music. French is not required on the posts, but the song itself must be in French or have some French.

The photo is Beau Dommage, the French Canadian band of the week. Every friday I will try to showcase a band and post a song or two of theirs.

BADBADNOTGOOD is a instrumental band and production team from Toronto, Ontario.

The band provides instrumental backgrounds to a wide variety of artists from various genres -- it all depends on who they collaborate with and the vision of the features artist. Many of which are household names such as Tyler The Creator, Kendrick Lamar, Charlotte Day Wilson, and many others.

They were formed in 2010 by Chester Hansen on bass, Matthew Tavares on keyboard, and Alexander Sowinski as drummer. The band would later be joined by Leland Whitty.

While more often do colalborations, in 2024 the band released a album featuring music entirely produced by themselves under the name of Mid Spiral. The album features only instrumentals, with no vocals.

Learn more about the band at their website, badbadnotgood.com.

FLEECE is a band originating from Montreal, Quebec. They originally formed in 2013. This is one of the songs that will be released on the 1st of October later this year as part of their TORNADO album which was itself written and recorded in 2023.

More information about FLEECE can be found on their website, fleecemusic.com. There is also more information about the story and meaning of this upcoming song posted on the canadianbeats.ca website, including comments from the artists.

The Bankes Brothers are a relatively recent band that formed in 2017. As shown in their name, they are formed of the two brothers Nelson & Morgan Bankes on vocals and guitar, with Carson Cleaver on lead guitar, and Gray Oxley as the drummer.

The band was formed in Victoria, British Columbia. As per the story on their spotify, they formed on a random friday night in a pool hall and begun playing gigs together less than a week later. They were all former high school classmates who found a "undeniable musical chemistry" and shortly began writing original music after their first show. Their first original song was "See Me Run".

In Waves, according to the spotify plays, is their most popular and widely played song with 335k listens as of writing this.

The Bankes Brothers are supported by Music BC, Creative BC and The Province of British Columbia. Their current label with is Blue Heron Music.

J'annonce que chaque vendredi sera << Vendredi Français >> ! Tous les vendredis, j`encourage tout le monde à publier de la musique franco-canadienne !

La musique franco-canadienne est toujours la bienvenue -- peu importe le jour de la semaine. Ce n'est pas uniquement pour le vendredi !

Je suis débutant en français. Ces traductions peuvent contenir des erreurs. Merci de proposer (poliment!) des corrections grammaticales.

I am announcing that every Friday will be "French Friday"! Each Friday, everyone is encouraged to post French Canadian music.

French music is still welcomed anytime -- doesn't matter what day of the week. It's not just for Fridays!

Again, from Wikipedia:
Rock et Belles Oreilles (RBO) was a Canadian radio, television, and stage comedy group popular in the primarily French-speaking province of Quebec during the 1980s and 1990s. Their name was a pun on the Hanna-Barbera blue dog character Huckleberry Hound ("Roquet Belles Oreilles" in French).

Apparently, according to local legend DJs at Montreal strip clubs would have this queued up in the event of unexpected police visits :)

Don't quite remember how I came across this song, but know it was cemented in my brain when my sibling had a run-in involving someone's intimate activities in a public bathroom in Montreal. I said they should have played this song on their phone and see what the reaction was. (Everyone was fine)

*I have no idea if this is how people actually say 'Comedy/Comedic Music' in French.
