Art for sale! Art Walk takes over Whyte Avenue this weekend

Posted on July 15, 2011 By Stuart Adams Visual Arts

I need another piece of art like I need a hole in the head – so why am I still looking forward to spending some serious sidewalk time at the Whyte Avenue Art Walk? I’m addicted. The 16th edition of Edmonton’s largest art show and studio visit opens today (Friday, July 15) in Old Strathcona […]

Tragically, times change, but The Hip are forever

Posted on July 14, 2011 By LH Thomson Music

The Hip? An outdoor show in the middle of summer? Shards of memories, flitting around at the mere thought of it, of bad acid and good mushrooms, dehydration and mass hysteria. These days, the venue will be somewhat more subdued. The Tragically Hip headlined an outdoor show at Northlands Park tonight, with Broken Social Scene […]

GIGGLE CITY: Privy People have captive audience at street fest

Posted on July 12, 2011 By Albert Smith Comedy, Culture, Front Slider, Theatre

Aside from props, the only difference between stand-up comedians and street performers is that one works inside and the other works outside. What could possibly go wrong? Rick Kunst is spending his summer outdoors. At the Edmonton International Street Performers Festival through July 17, the Florida-born comedian and his Canadian partner Dana Fadkin have an […]

WHO NAMED THE BAND? Idyl Tea returns

Posted on July 12, 2011 By Mike Ross Culture, Front Slider, Music

There was only one downside to a band name like Idyl Tea – no one could spell it right. Idol T, Idle Tee, Idyll Twee, the permutations and combinations of nomenclatural mangling were numerous, if not endless, as was a low-level confusion among Canadian rock fans at the time thinking they were going to see […]

Brent Irving does some soul searching at the ARTery

Posted on July 12, 2011 By LH Thomson Culture, The Latest, Visual Arts

There is a risk of ovexpectation inherent to greatness, but whether you think the new Art Gallery of Alberta is great or aren’t the fan of post-modern L.A. architecture, there’s no denying that so far, the new AGA has impressed. Edmonton is a great arts town even when the building isn’t the centre piece; there’s […]

They come to praise hipsters in new web comic

Posted on July 11, 2011 By Rob Drinkwater Front Slider, Lit, Visual Arts

Jeremy Die and Gregg Beever’s new webcomic “Inglorious Hipsters” isn’t like other webcomics and online sites that depict young people with ironic mustaches, tight jeans and V-neck T-shirts that display hairy chests. That’s because the Edmonton duo’s comic, which launched this month, isn’t about mocking hipsters. Die and Beever admit they may even be hipsters […]

EDMONTON RADIO: Holy S***! Pepper & Dylan win!

Posted on July 10, 2011 By Mike Ross Comedy, Culture, TV and Radio

And the funniest morning radio show in Edmonton is … (drum roll, hush from audience) The Pepper & Dylan Show on Virgin Radio 104.9 FM! (Cough, wind blowing) Surprised? Me, too. I thought Garner Andrews from Sonic 102.9 FM would win, or maybe Terry, Bill and Steve from K-97, but nope, it’s THOSE two guys […]
