Rating: NNNNN


Horn-blowing guitarist for the cucumber-cool electro-goosed new wave rock squad, who headline the dynamic Dog Day Afternoon fest (conceived in part by Shaw) at Historic Fort York Saturday (July 15).

Boards of Canada – Music Has The Right To Children

‘When you check the play count in my iTunes, this album is at the top. How two Scottish dudes made the perfect soundtrack to driving highway 1 I’ll never know, but it’s amazing.’

The Dears – Gang Of Losers

‘One of the benefits of a friendship with Murray Lightburn is hearing the new Dears record before everyone else. I can’t get it off my speakers. It’s fantastic. Man, that guy can sing. I love knowing such a talented dude.’

T. Rex – Electric Warrior

‘Once you’ve played all the Bowie records to death (which is hard to do cuz they’re so good), T-Rex’s Electric Warrior becomes a classic. It really makes me feel like I was born in the wrong generation. Who knew acoustic guitars were sexy? Put ’em in a glam band and they are.’
