A Brood worthy of shortlisting
This past Tuesday, the Polaris Music Prize shortlist was announced. This is an award presented to the best full-length Canadian album of the year, based on artistic merit and regardless of genre or commercial success. I was thrilled to find out that Elliott Brood’s Mountain Meadows is one of the 10 shortlisted contenders.
I’ve seen this trio perform numerous times, and it’s always a romp. They were in town on Thursday as part of Bluesfest in the Byward — and it was a particularly memorable night. It was the loudest, most keen crowd I’ve ever seen at a Brood show; all around me, people knew the words and sang along. There was also the closest thing to a mosh pit I’ve seen in years.
These guys have a sound all their own — eclectic, heel-stompin’, raspy. It always astounds me how they fill in each tune, being just three. Here are a couple of vids I caught from the show:
Give them a listen and see them live if you get the chance. They put on a show and a half, and deserve every success that comes their way; they just happen to be really nice, humble guys to boot.
The Polaris winner is announced at a gala in September; go git ‘em, Brood!
UGH, who wouldn’t love a band that sings an ode to me??? And it’s catchy too!
I keep forgetting to check your blog. I got your link via Amanda’s R3 blog entry on Bluesfest. :)
All I got to say that I totally enjoyed EB at Pier 21. The rowdiness and sweating was worth it. Surprised with the turnout even if it was a late night show. What I liked was that they took their time performing and if it was a Bluesfest, it’d be condensed and short. I realized when I was at the Blacksheep Stage for almost the whole day on Sunday, minus Mother Mother.
You actually make it seem really easy with your presentation however I in finding this matter to be actually something that I think I would never understand.
It kind of feels too complex and very large for me.
I am taking a look forward in your subsequent submit, I will try to get the
hang of it!
