carefully folded them for shipping to Canada, where they were infused into the living bodies of four women from Montreal, the band those women would then form would almost certainly sound a lot like Pale Lips. They play quick, furiously catchy punk songs — all hooks and distortion and tattoos and denim, with just a hint of the Beach Boys-y seaside vibe that the Ramones brought all the way across the continent from California to the dark and dingy clubs of New York City. And Pale Lips didn't exactly hide their influences during their Wednesday night show at the Silver Dollar, turning the Ramones' \"Rock \u0026amp; Roll High School\" into \"Rock \u0026amp; Roll Dipshit\"and referencing old timey jukebox rock \u0026amp; roll with shout outs to songs like \"Blue Suede Shoes\" and \"Great Balls of Fire.\" There's plenty of the '50s and '60s and '70s in the Pale Lips — but it made for one of the best sets we saw at CMW in 2016.\u003C\/p\u003E\u0026nbsp;

And they proved it once again this Canadian Music Week. Their first set of the festival was a fairly low profile slot: late at night on a Wednesday, while most of the city slept. But in the basement of the old Hotel Waverley, bathed in the sickly blue light of the Comfort Zone, the Vancouver prog-rockers tore through a blistering series of songs — the kind of tunes that it's hard to believe were written in the 21st century, and not in the hey day of classic rock. Sweat-drenched headbands and raging keyboard solos; vicious leg kicks and vibrating tambourines. Given the timeslot, the audience was sparse — only about a couple dozen strong — but I'm not sure I've ever heard such a small crowd give such a big roar in response to a band. And Bend Sinister deserved it.

They were formed in 1976 — playing together at the Ontario  College of Art just as the Queen West punk scene was about to become one  of the greatest punk scenes on Earth. And The Diodes played a founding  role.\u003C\/p\u003EIt was The Diodes and The Viletones who quickly became the giants of the  scene: their infamous rivalry pitted the art school background of The  Diodes against the working class thuggery of The Viletones. But it was  still a tightly-knit community. In 1977, The Diodes turned their  rehearsal space in the basement of a small office building (on Duncan  just south of Queen) into a punk club called the Crash 'N' Burn. That  summer, they invited all the best punk bands in the city to come play —  The Viletones included. For a few, brief, glorious months, bands like  The Curse, The Dishes and Teenage Head shook the building to its  foundations. But it didn't last: The Liberal Party of Ontario had an  office upstairs; by the end of the summer, their complaints about the  noise and rowdiness forced the club to shut down.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EBy then, word had gotten around.

For decades to come, his name would be  mentioned with reverent awe on a regular basis in Toronto. And it still  is from time to time.

It's a  long, unfathomably complicated thing, a baseball season. It's impossible  for a mind to wrap itself around all the pieces and interactions  involved: the hundreds of players, the thousands of games, the hundreds  of thousands of individual plays that can be broken down into millions  of distinct elements. It can be an awe-inspiring experience, watching it  all unfold. The almost quantum-like fluctuations of individual pitches  gradually build themselves into larger structures over the course of the  summer, into the baseball equivalent of planets and stars: games,  seasons and careers. At times, luck and human agency come together in a  sequence of events that seems to defy the laws of reason and logic and  chance — producing moments that seem nearly miraculous. Cannonball Crane  hits a walk-off home run on a day he pitches 20 innings. Joe Carter  becomes the only player in the history of the sport to hit a  come-from-behind home run to win the World Series.

After the success of \"Charlena\", they released a whole slew of excellent songs — from the rowdy rocker \"That's Alright\" to the slow burning ballad \"You Hurt Me\" to the bluesy chain-gang tune \"Work Song.\"\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Ciframe allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"287\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/TvFgpdS8fcI\" width=\"510\"\u003E\u003C\/iframe\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003E-----\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003E\u003Cdiv style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003E\u003Ci\u003EListen to more songs from the Yonge Street strip \u003Ca href=\"http:\/\/www.torontohistoricaljukebox.blogspot.ca\/search\/label\/yonge%20street\"\u003E\u003Cu\u003Ehere\u003C\/u\u003E\u003C\/a\u003E.\u003C\/i\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Ci\u003EPhoto \u003Ca href=\"http:\/\/www.garagehangover.com\/richieknight\/\" target=\"_blank\"\u003E\u003Cu\u003Evia\u003C\/u\u003E\u003C\/a\u003E Garage Hangover.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/i\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cdiv style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003E\u003Ci\u003ESpecial thanks to Richie Knight \u0026amp; The Mid-Knights bassist Doug Chappell for his help with this post. \u003C\/i\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Ci\u003EYou can listen to more songs from the Toronto Historical Jukebox \u003Ca href=\"http:\/\/torontohistoricaljukebox.blogspot.ca\/\" target=\"_blank\"\u003E\u003Cu\u003Ehere\u003C\/u\u003E\u003C\/a\u003E. \u003C\/i\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Ci\u003EPosted by Adam Bunch\u003Cspan style=\"font-size: x-small;\"\u003E, \u003C\/span\u003Ethe Editor-in-Chief of the Little Red Umbrella and the creator of the \u003Ca href=\"http:\/\/torontodreamsproject.blogspot.com\/\" target=\"_blank\"\u003E\u003Cu\u003EToronto Dreams Project\u003C\/u\u003E\u003C\/a\u003E and the \u003Ca href=\"http:\/\/torontohistoricaljukebox.blogspot.ca\/\" target=\"_blank\"\u003E\u003Cu\u003EToronto Historical Jukebox\u003C\/u\u003E\u003C\/a\u003E.

By that point, the Paper Bag Records showcase celebrating their 100th release was already getting into its eighth hour. Many of the best bands playing anywhere at this year's North By Northeast had already taken the stage. Born Ruffians. PS I Love You. Young Rival. Yamantaka \/\/ Sonic Titan.\u0026nbsp; Frog Eyes. Laura Barrett. Mozart's Sister. And it had all been building to this. \u003C\/p\u003EDrew stood behind his microphone and told a story. It was about his band, Broken Social Scene, and their first album, \u003Ci\u003EYou Forgot It In People\u003C\/i\u003E. It was about the moment that — without any exaggeration at all — changed Canadian music forever. Broken Social Scene's second release was Paper Bag's very first. And so it was Paper Bag who sent a copy of that album to Pitchfork to be reviewed. The \u003Ca href=\"http:\/\/pitchfork.com\/reviews\/albums\/952-you-forgot-it-in-people\/\" target=\"_blank\"\u003E\u003Cu\u003E9.2 score and the glowing words that came with it\u003C\/u\u003E\u003C\/a\u003E not only launched BSS into international stardom, it heralded the beginning of a new age for Canadian indie music: the age of the Internet. With national borders less of a cultural barrier than ever before, bands from the northern half of our continent would finally get a chance to make it big without having to leave home. This was the age of Metric and of Stars and of Arcade Fire. And it all started with Paper Bag.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003ESo it would be hard to imagine any more appropriate climax for the night than the one we got: Kevin Drew and Brendan Canning on stage together — along with some of the best talent our country has to offer. They were backed by Cuff The Duke; they were accompanied on vocals by the Luya's Jessie Stein and Young Galaxy's Catherine McCandless. It was the perfect three-song finale to one hell of a memorable night. \"KC Accidental.\" \"Lover's Spit.\" \"Almost Crimes.\"\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cspan style=\"font-size: large;\"\u003E\u003Cb\u003ELOOK \u003C\/b\u003E\u003C\/span\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Chr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cdiv class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both;
