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.

We originally published this post about the beginning of our love for them back on January 28, 2014. \u003C\/i\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cp\u003EIt must have been four or five Canadian Music Weeks ago when my own love affair with The Balconies began. After several recommendations from friends, colleagues, the band's \u003Ca href=\"http:\/\/www.audioblood.com\/\" target=\"_blank\"\u003E\u003Cu\u003Emanagement\u003C\/u\u003E\u003C\/a\u003E and common sense, I stood at The Horseshoe as skeptical as only a music editor can be. It was the festival's Saturday night, so I was running on fumes, but I'd promised too many people I'd see this show to let them down. When the house music stopped, the crowd hushed and The Balconies walked on stage. I saw three young, attractive people grab their instruments, lean in and begin to play what would soon become some of my favourite songs.\u003C\/p\u003EJacquie Neville took centre stage wide-eyed, as she still does today, like a young Pat Benatar. She greeted the audience with a wail — one as strong as the women of Heart or even Joan Jett — and The Balconies had me. Each song, with the help of bassist Stephen Neville and drummer Liam  Jaeger, was better than the last; they murdered their 25-minute set. Immediately kicking myself for waiting so long to see them, I stood in awe. Sitting at home later, writing my review, I thought about how I was going to explain all of this to the readers. What I came up with then was the truth:\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\"To say this band is a beast on stage is a dramatic understatement. Their music reached out and bitch slapped The Horseshoe across their drunk faces and demanded attention.\"\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EI'm proud to say that I don't think \u003Ci\u003EThe Little Red Umbrella\u003C\/i\u003E team has missed a Balconies show in Toronto ever since.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EIn 2009, the band released their self-titled debut and toured the shit out of it. The crowds grew. People took notice. The band honed their live show to perfection. Being classically trained musicians, they've been able to play venues as diverse as rooftops, the basement of a movie theatre and Trinity Bellwoods Park — all while sounding like a well-oiled machine.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003EFast forward to today, the day The Balconies release \u003Ci\u003EFast Motions \u003C\/i\u003Eon Coalition Music. Having seen a few preview shows for the tracks on the record, I can say that even before I listened to the album, any skepticism over the result was non-existent. Playing the record is like seeing their show. It's powerful, deep and unforgettable — everything The Balconies should be. Stand out track \"Boys and Girls\" will knock you on your ass, as will live favourites \"Kill Count\", \"Do It In the Dark\" (formerly \"Serious Bedtime\") and \"Fast Motions\" (formerly \"French Kiss\").

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. That August, The Diodes became the very  first Toronto punk band to sign a deal with a major label. The year  after that, they started playing a brand new song. \"Tired Of Waking Up  Tired\" would prove to be one of the most popular tracks to ever come out  of the Queen West punk scene. \u003Ci\u003EChart\u003C\/i\u003E even put it at #17 on their list of the Top 50 Canadian Singles Of All Time.\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Ciframe width=\"510\" height=\"383\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ynFK5ylCbTM\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen\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: justify;\"\u003E\u003Cdiv style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003E\u003Ci\u003EListen to more Queen Street punk \u003Ca href=\"http:\/\/www.torontohistoricaljukebox.blogspot.ca\/search\/label\/punk\" target=\"_blank\"\u003E\u003Cu\u003Ehere\u003C\/u\u003E\u003C\/a\u003E.\u003C\/i\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Ci\u003EYou can find links to buy Didoes records \u003Ca href=\"http:\/\/www.bongobeat.com\/diodes\/\" target=\"_blank\"\u003E\u003Cu\u003Ehere\u003C\/u\u003E\u003C\/a\u003E.\u003C\/i\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Ci\u003ESpecial thanks to \u003C\/i\u003E\u003Ci\u003E\u003Ci\u003E\u003Ca href=\"http:\/\/www.bongobeat.com\/diodes\/\" target=\"_blank\"\u003E\u003Cu\u003ERalph Alfonso\u003C\/u\u003E\u003C\/a\u003E (The \u003C\/i\u003EDiodes \"\u003C\/i\u003E\u003Ci\u003Emanager, designer, lighting guy, roadie, publicist\" and co-founder of the Crash 'N' Burn)\u0026nbsp; for his help with this post.\u003C\/i\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.
