Crushing the musical honour system


Toronto-based band Crush Luther will be releasing their album on iTunes for a pay-what-you-can price from Sept. 29-Oct. 13. The Charlatan’s Larissa Robyn Johnston sat down with the band’s lead singer, Luther Mallory, to discuss the new album, stealing music and the Jonas Brothers.

The Charlatan (TC):  What made you decide to sell your new record at the pay-what-you-can price?

Review: Russell Peters

Heading into the Civic Centre for Russell Peters live in Ottawa, scepticism was in the air.

Could Peters drum up that much new material for his 20th anniversary tour, "RPXX"?

He could.

The evening started off with a hilarious, self-deprecating opening act from Jean Paul, a Trinidad-born but Canada-bred comedian.

With jokes mostly poking fun at his relationship with his wife and her Caribbean accent, he kept the audience in stitches and had the crowd perfectly warmed up for Peters to take the stage.

Kandahar on canvas: local artist captures hospital in paintings

 
Karen Bailey’s week in Kandahar has lasted two years in her studio.
 
In 2007 the Ottawa artist travelled to Canada’s Role Three Hospital as a military artist with the Canadian Forces Artists Program. While there, she sketched the doctors, nurses and Afghan patients daily.
 
Two years after her return, the result is 20 acrylic canvases – ranging from the size of a textbook to ones that tower over the artist’s head.
