GLG Fresh Mp3 Friday: Golden Globes

Congratulations to Ricky Gervais for winning the award for Rudest Golden Globes Host.
Courtesy of Robert Downey Jr., his performance was best summarized as "hugely mean-spirited" with "mildly sinister undertones." Despite this year's short-comings, Gervais did snag a Golden Globe Award in 2004 for Best Actor in a TV Series Comedy for his role as "David Brent" in the BBC hit The Office. If it were up to us, we would nominate Gervais in the "Entertainer of the Year" category.

Enjoy Your Pumas Celebrate the Release of Commonality at The Park Theatre January 30th

Enjoy Your Pumas will take another step toward going worldwide when they release their debut album, Commonality. To celebrate the release, they’ll be at The Park Theatre on January 30^th, playing tracks off the hook-filled record and showing off their signature sound dichotomy: lilting and ethereal/aggressive and rhythmic .

Commonality is great hooks, layered guitars, a tight, poppy rhythm section and Rosie Blais’ strong diverse vocals, and is sure to remind listeners of Metric, The Yeah Yeah Yeahs and Bloc Party. The album was recorded primarily at Private Ear Recording Studio in Winnipeg. Death Cab for Cutie, Matt Epp, and The Waking Eyes have all recorded there. Enjoy Your Pumas appreciated the relatively lengthy time they were allowed to spend recording (six days) and put it to good use. “Working on the band for five straight days was like a vacation. A working vacation. It was a pleasant taste of what music as a career would be like,” says Janzen. Josh Benoit felt the album reflected this time well spent, “It sounds like a band that has put time and thought into the execution of their music.”

698 Osborne St., Winnipeg, MB
Doors: 7:00 PM

GLG Fresh MP3 Friday

NEW THIS WEEK:
John Shipe received “4 out of 5 stars” from Maverick on his previous release. From his new album, Villain, “Lion" sounds like the shining sun coming through in the morning. For the most significant forces in all of Shipe’s music have to be his foundation in the roots of rock and the irresistible tunefulness of his approach.

Enjoy Your Pumas sound is akin to Metric's Emily Haines fronting Bloc Party. Their energetic live show has received accolades from fans and music journalists alike.

Both are the latest addition to GLG and will be dropping albums on the same day!
February 01, 2011: John Shipe, Villain and Enjoy Your Pumas, Commonality.

Enjoy Your Pumas find Commonality February 1st

Enjoy Your Pumas are ready to break out of the ice of their native Winnipeg and bring their powerful pop to the rest of the world. A big step in this direction is the release of their debut LP, Commonality which will be out February 1, 2011. The album, which is filled with great hooks, layered guitars, a tight, poppy rhythm section and Rosie Blais’ strong diverse vocals, is sure to remind listeners of Metric, The Yeah Yeah Yeahs and Bloc Party.

Blais and guitarist, Josh Benoit, began Enjoy Your Pumas as a bedroom project and soon expanded the lineup to include a bassist, Marc Gomez and Ian Jeffrey (keyboards/guitar). After a few lineup changes, the band in its current form emerged: with Luke Janzen (drums) now a part of the tight rhythm section and Zach Allard on guitar. The band’s signature dichotomy: lilting and ethereal/aggressive and rhythmic first began to show itself on Ink: The EP which was released in 2009. Now with Commonality, they’ve gotten more cohesive as a band, challenging each other to do better and better.

Enjoy Your Pumas has enjoyed a few other pleasant tastes of the music business this year. They made national headlines when they won the OurStage.com contest to open for Bon Jovi and Kid Rock on the Regina, Saskatchewan stop of their world stadium tour. The lead single from Commonality ,“Weight of the Circles” reached the Top Ten on Winnipeg indie station Kick FM and has received heavy airplay on Winnipeg stations Curve 94.3, Hot 103, as well as CBC Radio.
