The opening act, Giant Hand, a stage name for soloist Kirk Ramsay, played a short set with just his voice and an acoustic guitar cranking out songs about reading books and sewer rats. 
The Ottawa native even had a recorded drum and guitar-backing track on his last song that he recorded himself, truly defining the one-man band.

Mother Mother talks music music

Guitarist and lead singer Ryan Guldemond, one-third of the group’s powerful vocal section, spoke to the Charlatan about what the band has planned next.

Mother Mother, the British Columbian quintet that has gained national recognition with the release of last year’s O My Heart, has just kicked off their cross-Canada tour supporting Matthew Good.

Theatre Review: The Drowsy Chaperone

4/5

As of 2009 the National Arts Centre (NAC) is celebrating its 40th anniversary. In honour of this momentous occasion it has introduced a stellar collection of upcoming and current performances. The forerunner for this celebration, “The Drowsy Chaperone,” took the stage Oct. 14 and concluded on Halloween night.

NAC gets hit by Elephant Wake

Joey Tremblay’s clearest memory of his childhood in a diminishing western- Canadian French town is of the paper-mache elephant his grandmother made, being maliciously run over by a group from a neighbouring English town.

The incident had a profound effect on the young Tremblay who considers it the end of his childhood and the moment of his loss of innocence.

But it inspired An Elephant Memory, an autobiographical story that Tremblay adapted into the fictitious play Elephant Wake in which he also stars.
