We're in the process of revamping the Locals Ten interview series - we're trying a few new things out with it - including new questions - and a new page to automatically generate interviews.
Jon Cohen Experimental frontman Jon Cohen was kind enough to sit down and beta test some of the new questions and random generation for us - so here is the first of a potential series called Automated Interview Machine:
23 What should everyone shut up about? -Submitted by Ross. L Sanchez
Everyone should just shut up in general...They should sit down, relax, take a deep breath and listen, just listen.
53 If you could tour with any band in the world, past or present, who would it be? -Submitted by Canadian Psycho
We would tour with Pink Floyd. If we got even an iota of their light show , sound and crowds would make for a magical tour!
33 What has been your strangest celebrity encounter? -Submitted by Ross. L Sanchez
Meeting an ultra skinny Perry Farell backstage and feeling very creeped out by his presence. Love his music though..
63 Who got you started? Was it with a different instrument?- Stolen from JoeTrainortrio.com
I got into music through heavy metal, my first guitar was called a St-Laurent , jet black with a small peavey amp. I was listening to slayer, anthrax and pantera so lots of riffage. My mom got me started.
47 Are you a full-time musician? If not, what is your other job? -Submitted by Mantis
I am a seasonal and seasoned musician, used to be full time, now on again off again. I also work in a school of Thai Massage. It’s a nice balance between the two lifestyles.
21 What have been your career highs and lows? -Submitted by Ross. L Sanchez.
My career high is definitely this album we just released called “Behold”. I am very happy with it and the response has been tremendous. Lows was about two years ago. We could not get a gig if our lives depended on it, and I was seriously considering pulling the plug on the whole project.
51 What were you doing in 1998? -Submitted by 0+2=1
Partying like it’s 1999!
60 Imagine you’re watching a concert and one of the band members spontaneously combusts. You get called to the stage to replace that band member. Who’s the band? - Stolen from JoeTrainortrio.com
Rolling Stones , and it would probably be Keith Richards who combusted...In fact, I believe it’s already happened twice!
27 What do you think of when you think of Moncton? -Submitted by Ross. L Sanchez
Love Tara, the Eric’s trip album I practically slept with at night and.....Julie Doiron....I just can’t shake it!!
39 How do you feel about/would you ever want your music featured on commercial radio? - Submitted by Mannequin
Good Question, I would.. I think commercial radio could use a dose of quality music that isn't catered to the lowest common denominator. The Jon Cohen Experimental can provide that. At the same time it would help put food on our table.
2 Considering how lame genre labeling is; how would you describe your music? - Submitted by Kyle
Music for the subconscious...

| The Clean Bin Project is a feature documentary film about a regular couple and their quest to answer the question "is it possible to live completely waste free?".
Partners Jen and Grant go head to head in a competition to see who can swear off consumerism and produce the least landfill garbage in an entire year. Their light-hearted competition is set against a darker examination of the sobering problem waste in North American society. Even as Grant and Jen start to garner interest in their project, they struggle to find meaning in their seemingly minuscule influence on the large-scale environmental impacts of our “throw-away society”. Featuring interviews with renowned artist, Chris Jordan and marine pollution expert, Captain Charles Moore, The Clean Bin Project presents the serious topic of waste reduction with optimism, humour, and inspiration for individual action.
The film will be screened tonight at Struts Gallery starting at 8pm.

The Jon Cohen Experimental is the brainchild band of Montreal musician & songwriter Jon Cohen. Having been a key member of such diverse and popular bands as The Dears, The Social Register and many more, Jon formed his own group as a response to over a decade of service to the prolific Montreal music scene. The band charted, toured and played festivals such as Pop Montreal, were featured on radio shows like CBC's Brave New Waves and The Signal.
The JCEX have just unleashed their sophomore album aptly titled "Behold". It features great musicians like Angela Desveaux, Evan Cranley (Stars), Liam O'Neil (Stills), Murray Lightburn (Dears) and more. This band pushes the limits of pop songwriting structure with unique, genre-defying and an experimental style that draws in audiences with insightful lyrics and skillfully crafted melodies delivered with raw precision.

It's no secret that we've been letting the site take a back seat lately to work on other projects - but in Sept and October we'll be spending a bit more time getting the site back to being your source for local music news in Moncton.
Above are our stats so far this year - so if you have news - please let us know. The site has always been free to use - and ad-free.
Thanks

With the opening of Cut Throat Pizza I figured I would give the pizza of the month a little review. I tried it today before the pizza of the month changed with 4 days remaining to get your hands on one. Delicious is my prognosis, the boys at Cut Throat really out did themselves with this one and if you love pizza I highly suggest you get over to CTP today and get yourself a delicious pie before its no longer available.

SONIC CONCERTS presents Sarah Harmer’s Maritime fall tour, Oct. 29 - Nov. 3
JUNO Award-winning singer-songwriter Sarah Harmer returns to the east coast in support of her recently released album oh little fire during a Maritime tour, Oct. 29 to Nov. 3. Dates include:
Oct. 29 Halifax Rebecca Cohn Auditorium
Oct. 30 Fredericton The Playhouse
Nov. 1 Saint John The Imperial Theatre
Nov. 2 Sackville Sackville United Church
Nov. 3 Summerside The Harbourfront Theatre
Harmer’s first album in five years, oh little fire includes 10 new songs and a cover of “Silverado,” written by Music Maul’s Trevor Henderson, who plays lap steel on the album, and features Neko Case on back up vocals. The album was co-produced by Harmer and Gavin Brown (Metric) and recorded in Toronto and Wolfe Island.
The Globe and Mail said, “...there’s not a word put out of place, not a note her clean voice misses, not a melody that fails to take you by the hand.”
The Washington Post said, “...bright and contagious at times, buoyed by cleverly engaging lyrics and an unabashed pop production.”
After departing her band Weeping Tile in the late 90s, Harmer went on to release three solo albums, including her platinum selling debut You Were Here (2000), which featured the singles “Basement Apartment” and “Don’t Get Your Back Up,” All Of Our Names (2004) and I’m A Mountain (2005). She appeared on Neko Case’s critically-acclaimed 2009 album Middle Cyclone as well as albums by Blue Rodeo, The Weakerthans, Bruce Cockburn and The Rheostatics, among others.

Beneath the Massacrehttp://www.myspace.com/btm
ION DISSONANCE
http://www.myspace.com/iondissonance
Dischord
http://www.myspace.com/dischordband
Featuring headlining act from Montreal, Beneath the Massacre (Prosthetic records)
will be on tour to support their 3rd album, Maree Noir.
With fellow countrymen as broad, and as brutal, as Kataklysm, Cryptopsy, Neuraxis, and Gorguts and modern contemporaries like Ion Dissonance, Fuck The Facts, and Despised Icon, coupled with recurring time on the road with Germans Necrophagist, BENEATH THE MASSACRE is a step up from their American brethren, not only in sheer heaviness but in composed, technical musicianship within the confines of song structure that doesn't meander beyond its means, yet still pushes the limits of what extreme metal can be.
Ion Dissonance will be in the supporting slot. Also from Montreal, Ion Dissonance will be supporting their upcoming album called Curse (Century Media).
After playing more than 750 shows in over 5 years of touring, Ion Dissonance went into hiatus to concentrate on a more personal life, and renew their inspiration to create extreme music and take it to a whole new level. With their heaviest and most extreme album to date, the band is ready to bring their fresh new style to a whole new level... “Cursed “Ion Dissonance's fourth full length will be released worldwide in August 2010.
Local Moncton band Dischord will be opening the show. They are presently recording their second album at Trimedia studio and they will be playing a couple of new tracks to give people a glimpse of the upcoming release which will be called Casualties of War. They will also embark on their first Quebec tour in October. |
