ONE MAN BAND FEST!!
CJLO is very excited to be involved with The One Man Band Festival this year. It all goes down May 15-18 and it will be a one of a kind (oh such pun) event that will bring out the best solo performers from around the world!
Tune in to Revolution 33 1/3 on Monday, May 12, to get a little taste of the Festival when Montreal’s favorite son, Bloodshot Bill, comes into the CJLO studios to wreck havoc.
Go to onemanbandfest.com to get your tickets and see the full line up.
The One Man Band Festival is a unique new music festival that celebrates and showcases the talents and creativity of one-man/woman band musicians and performers the likes of loop artists, singer songwriters, dj’s, multi-instrumentalists and other forms of solo performers. For reasons of feasibility, creative expression, financial limitations and technological advancements in music production, artists today are finding new ways to express their output by recording, touring and performing alone. This festival aims to showcase their talents and support the one man/woman band phenomenon! Already
in its 3rd year, the festival has grown to accommodate nearly 100 one man and one woman bands in Montreal, Canada, USA, UK, France, Portugal, Japan, and has been the subject of several features including a BBC documentary. The Festival is taking its place to become one of the most unique music festivals in Montreal and around the world.
New Site You Say?
Hi Everyone!
As you may be able to tell, we have a new website!
We are currently under that transitional phase between the old site and the new site, so there may be some issues but we are working diligently to remedy them.
If you find anything that you think we missed, send an email to our super rad web developer Vanessa Reid (webmaster@cjlo.com).
Take a look around the website, we are pretty stoked with this new, sleek look, and we hope that you like it too.

Eternal Husbands - Eternal Husbands
Matt Leddy and Rick Reid, who call Montreal home, are the musical duo that make up Eternal Husbands. The two musicians have been creating music together for years under various monikers and, once their former and most recent band City Streets called it quits in the spring of 2013, they came together once again and subsequently released the Eternal Husbands EP in August of the same year.
The EP begins with "16", a track that slowly builds and is comprised mainly of a few sustained synth generated notes. The song creates a beautiful dreamy soundscape. It's a serene painting for the ears clearly influenced by the likes of Sigur Ros. The vocals, which come in late, hint at a kind of haunting undertow that resides in this tranquil opener.
"ekg" begins with a drumbeat that marches us forward, while Leddy and Reid explore electronic elements filling out the remaining sound. The upbeat pace of the music is nicely juxtaposed to Reid's more reserved and at times hidden vocals, which remain solemn throughout. The track crescendos in the middle before being pulled away in what seems to be its end. However, the music returns to the infectious beat ultimately taking us home.
"18”" is an interesting track in that it interweaves a king of folksy aesthetic, the plucking electric guitar, all while electronic and synth elements engulf the rest of the space.
This album weaves a thread of melancholy throughout. Adding to this feeling is Reid's scratchy voice, almost hidden, yearning to be heard. You can't help but wonder if its release, roughly two months after the split of City Streets, had a lingering effect on this debut.
There are many elements at play on this EP. An exciting combination of folk, rock and electronic music fused together to create a haunting and times jumbled sound. However, these ideas only offer a glimpse at the potential for this duo. Eternal Husbands have me waiting patiently to hear what may come.
Final rating: 3.5/5
