Announcing the Green Go Remix Project!

Green Go have been making great sounds emanate from Guelph for a few years now and while they may not be on the tip of everyone's tongue yet they have certainly gotten noticed by people like indiemusicfilter, I (Heart) Music, Bridging the Atlantic and the the Toronto Star. Whether you know Green Go or not (you will, just wait) you definitely know their friends.

Today sees the release of the Green Go Remix Project - with remixes by Green Go of Born Ruffians, the D'Urbervilles, Rural Alberta Advantage, Gentleman Reg, and Women. Visit themeaningofgreen.ca/remix.html to grab you're free copies. It is also all up in the Podsafe Downloads on this site, which means - feel free to downloads, save, listen, share, podcast and enjoy!

For those of you looking for things to do (like discover a new band that you're going to love, dance your ass off and have something interesting to talk about on monday morning) you can check out Green Go tomorrow night (Feb 7.) at Sneaky Dees for the Whale Tooth EP Release Party at Sneaky Dee's in Toronto. If you're not fortunate enough to live in Toronto you can also catch them at the Gordon Best Theatre w/ The Magic & the D'Urbervilles on Feb. 27 or in Peterborough on Feb. 28 at the Starlight with Bocce, the D'Urbervilles & DJ Global Warming!

24 Hour Canadian All Star Jam Session

According to a note in my inbox this morning Graham Wright of Tokyo Police Club, Will Currie of Will Currie and the Country French and Luke Lalonde of Born Ruffians and Skeleton Me along with Dean Marino (a.k.a. Ex~Po) will be heading into Chemical Sound Studio for 24 hours to record as many songs as they can squeeze in in that time.

The plan is to take whatever results come out of the session and release them for free. "I think the songs will get a lot more interesting around four in the morning" says Will Currie. "As we get tired, more creative things will start to come out in the music. Lack of sleep makes your brain think differently," he jokes.

Documentary filmmaker Wade Vroom is going to be documenting all of this as it happens and will release the final film on a, as yet unannounced, website. The actual date all of this is happening wasn't in the note but it is bound to be an amazing session and, in one way or another, we all get to be there.

Stay tuned! I'll let you know when/if I hear any more.
