Dear COVERS!

In popular music, a cover version, or simply cover, is a new rendition (performance or recording) of a previously recorded, commercially released song. In its current use, it can sometimes have a pejorative meaning—implying that the original recording should be regarded as the definitive version, usually in the sense of an "authentic" rendition, and all others are merely lesser competitors, alternatives or tributes (no matter how popular). However, Billboard—and other magazines recording the popularity of the musical artists and hit tunes—originally measured the sales success of the published tune, not just recordings of it, or later the airplay that it also managed to achieve. In that context, the greater the number of cover versions, the more successful the song. All of you already know that, so these songs bellow are just a taste of good/bad covers/versions you might like or not. We'd love to know which are your favourites covers!

NEW BAND: La Patère Rose


Formé du claviériste et échantillonneur Thomas Hébert (alias Roboto), du batteur et DJ Julien Harbec (alias Kilojules) et de la chanteuse-pianiste Fanny Grosjean (alias Fanny Bloom), La patère rose est un groupe électro-pop à l’univers coloré, passionné et au son sensible. C’est en 2003 que les membres de La patère rose se rencontrèrent au cégep de Sherbrooke pour ensuite commencer à jouer ensemble deux ans plus tard. En 2005, Fanny Grosjean se rend à la finale nationale de Cégeps en spectacle, alors que Julien et Thomas forment le groupe Misteur Valaire. En 2008, ils développent leur son unique et se présentent aux Francouvertes, où ils se rendent en finale en compagnie de Bonjour Brumaire et Le Citoyen. L'univers sonore du trio, inspiré de Camille, Émilie Simon, Lily Allen, The Do en passant par Martha Wainwright jusqu'à Brel, leur permet de convaincre le public ainsi que le jury et de remporter la grande finale de la 12e édition des Francouvertes. Ils ont également remporté le Prix de la chanson Socan pour Backyard souvenir ainsi que le Prix du public. Après une participation remarquée aux FrancoFolies de Montréal en 2008 et au Festival Osheaga, La patère rose participera aux Francofolies de Spa en Belgique et présentera une tournée qui les mènera partout au Québec en 2009.

NEW BAND: The Deirdres


A seven piece from Derby UK, who claim to specialise in "poor harmonies and communal clappiing", The Deirdres mess around with glockenspiels, tamborines, kazoos, violins, and something called a zube in the pursuit of a good time. Imagine the best bits of Architecture In Helsinki, The Hidden Cameras and every band you've clapped along to like an over-excited five year old, in the way they shoot out lo-fi melodies that seem utterly spontaneous. If they're half as fun as their demos, we're in for a treat."

NEW BAND: Zissou

Zissou are a five piece friends, this amateur band was formed in Chepstow UK. They have been playing together for about two and a half years now, but have achieved as much as some bands do in two months. Despite this they keep going even after being geographically separated thanks to university. They're not really sure why they stick at it, but hopefully you'll enjoy the results. This band is poorly unknown, but they really have great influences, I almost love all the bands they have at their myspace marked as influences. Give them a chance to their indie pop, after few listens they won't surely/honestly disappoint you. Their only EP is called " Pull Your Tangles Through".

NEW BAND: Strip Squad


Strip Squad os pondrá a tono. Este quinteto sueco se caracteriza principalmente por mezclar canciones muy pegadizas con letras juveniles, desenfadadas y divertidas, totalmente amateurs y sin ninguna pretención. Llamadlas picantes, perversas, incitadoras pero siempre dentro de un marco gracioso y sobretodo twee pop. Ya basta de letras retorcidas, extrañas y que hablan de los mismos temas monótonos. Casi todas sus canciones tienen un puto de provocación e incitan a... bueno os lo mostraré: Por ejemplo en Unreliable Narrator aparecen cosas como " when he masturbates he thinks of pretty things like the arch of your eyebrown your almond shaped eye the way you looked when you said goodbye ... he goes dancing at the indie-club every friday too shy to make a move doesn't dare to talk but his penis, I've seen it, i t's hard and erect like a carrot, sir.." o en If You Don't Take Me Right Away You Might As Well Fuck Off, tambien suena interesante : " (so what happened to you last night?) (club 77 yeah huh!) he turned me on by the pooltable I saw his underwear label (oh so fuckable!) but instead of having me against the wall he airfucked on the floor in the dancehall ". Otras como Pervert / Expert e incluso You Cream My Pants, dejan entrever sus graciosas letras. Su EP incial llamado "Just Obey! " es el preludio de su reciente Cd " The Adventures of Strip Squad".
