Don Stevenson Busking in Orbit

Once again Don Stevenson returns to rock the Orbit in high style.

At six o'clock he'll be presenting his new album Busking In The Subway. It's a return to his songwriting stride which was so crucial to the sound of Moby Grape and it features Grape-mates Jerry Miller and Peter Lewis on some tracks, as well as Orbital friends Tim Bovaconti and Fergus Hambleton. 

Burton Cummings even pops up on a remake of 8:05 TOO. 

He will be available for live listening in the city soon, at Brickworks in the Don Valley on Saturday and at Sauce on the Danforth next Saturday July the 7th. On Sunday the 8th he will be at Leslieville Flexi Market.

Great new Canadian music every Friday from 5-7 on Radio Regent.

The Memberz - Work It Out [Official Video Released 15 June 2018]

The Memberz further their reputation as a significant new recording band in the reggae arena with their second video single Work It Out.

The cinematically-styled video. like their first release, King’s Highway, again features well known Toronto locales, such as the Guild Inn, the Gardiner Underpass Park, and the Christie / Dupont neighbourhood.

Directed by ChaseShotIt, the band is seen performing live to the track, as well as appearing as characters in the storyline. 

Their talent for creating deep rhythms, presenting vital social concerns, and producing persuasive harmony is once again evident in this new original song.

Lyrically, it explores the complexities of maintaining a family relationship when the temptations of day-to-day life can sometimes lead to devastating and life-changing  alternatives.

Live and Let Sing. That's Bond. Willard Bond. In Orbit Today!

 Today, the Orbit will be pleased to welcome individualistic Parkdale rock composer and singer Willard Bond whose latest work Jiggery Pokery will debut live on Tuesday June 26th at the Painted Lady on Ossington. He and his musical friends will be up at six o'clock to talk about the new songs and perform a few.

Lindi Ortega's Liberty

Taking her palette from the tonalities of spaghetti cinema for her fifth full-length album, newly resettled Calgarian Lindi Ortega has counter-balanced her move back north from Nashville with an ardent candy-skull crush on her paternal southern homeland of Mexico.

Liberty is a concept album, and it pictures Ortega deep inside of several dark identities, building into a three-tiered border opera. She rides in with gongs a-blazing on an Ennio Morricone fanfare (that occasionally verges on Danny Elfman territory). With the scorching guitar of Toronto string slinger Champagne James  Robertson, and EDM levels of bass from Mike Rinne, offering bold backup, Lindi stakes out a powerful persona: the broody romantic madre tierra on her moonlit hacienda terrace, swathed in pedal steel raptures that swoop like theremins, moaning her soft and sinuous glissandi, and threatening her bad hombre boyfriend, “Don’t come any closer to my heart / if you’re afraid of the dark.” Other compadres along for the fiesta are Blonde On Blonde alumnus Charlie McCoy on harmonica and exotic local Nashville hybrids Steelism, whose evocations of 60’s soundtracks haunt the disc.

Illustration "Lindi's Hacienda" by Paul Corby

Midway into the record, the badass cowgirl of the cover art arrives, in a violent awakening reminiscent of Tarantino. Rock and roar takes over for an episode, filling the air with gunshots and whiplash and dispelling madre Lindi’s chronic piquant darkness. “There’s justice to be served, “she intones in a whisper on “The Comeback Kid,” a survivor scenario of supernatural menace.

Then she transforms, again, into the alluring loteria mermaid icon, La Sirena, chanting love songs from deep inside her rippling cenote, “away from the lightning and rain.” Committing to love, freedom and the pursuit of happiness, Lindi floats along on moods and fragrance instead of drums for awhile, her voice honeyed with a filmy diaphanous vibrato and shimmering mariachi horns. Returning to full exuberance in a dusty poncho and her ravaged but sturdy little red boots, Ortega rallies to hope on the title track, “Liberty,” and the album then concludes with an elegiac exhalation of Mercedes Sosa’s hymn to this worldly existence, “Gracias A La Vida.” Lindi`s exit is gracious and grateful, and the cactus and sagebrush point her onward to the beckoning horizon.

Liberty is on her own Shadowbox label. Lindi Ortega is on tour in Europe throughout the month of June.
