HOLAS and lattés at campus coffeehouse

On Nov. 18 Carleton students are invited to take part in a night of open mic performances, bake sales and presentations of social and environmental issues.

Carleton’s Humanitarian Organization of Latin American Students  (HOLAS), is hosting the event in a joint-effort coffee house at Rooster’s, to promote social and environmental awareness.

HOLAS will be partnering with other student-run groups such as Engineers Without Borders.

Each group involved will get a chance to give a presentation on the issues they focus on.

Arkells still thirsty to create music

McMaster University alumni who make up the band the Arkells may have hit the ground running, but rest assured, they remain grounded.

“I think we know where we stand,” said lead vocalist and guitarist Max Kerman, speaking via phone hours before a scheduled gig in Windsor.

The band is currently in the midst of their first headlining cross-country tour, which touched ground in Ottawa Nov. 7.

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.
