Lost Cousins: Montreal

By Kerry Doole

Lost Cousins -"Montreal" (Pheromone Recordings):  This psych-rock outfit released its debut full-length In Scenery last Friday (Feb. 1), preceded by this track.


"'Montreal' is about the urge to rearrange your life for someone you love completely, but knowing you're not able to and having to explain why. "It's about balancing commitments to yourself with those of others, and trying to find a happy medium," says the band in a label press release.

It adds that "' Montreal,' one of the last songs written during a long winter in a home studio, expresses a desire to seek new surroundings and experiences." The track effectively builds in intensity, with virile guitars complemented by some keyboard fills.

Last year, Lost Cousins released a string of singles, "Stay," "Mindmaker", "City Escape", and "Trails," and was featured in Exclaim's annual showcase Class of 2018.

The group has shows at Kingston's The Mansion (Feb. 8), Barrie's Foxx Lounge (Feb. 9), Toronto's The Great Hall (Feb. 15) and at The New Colossus Festival in NYC (March 7-8).

Celine Dion, Keith Urban, Chris Martin Lead All-Star John Farnham Tribute Concert

The concert doubled as a celebration of the 40th anniversary of "You're the Voice," released in September 1986.

An all-star lineup of Australian and international artists gathered in Melbourne on Sunday (Sept. 20) to honor John Farnham, the Australian music icon behind “You’re the Voice,” at a star-studded tribute concert at Rod Laver Arena.

Billed as The Songs of John Farnham: A Living Legend – The Celebration Concert, the one-off event drew more than 120 performers, a 38-piece orchestra and the John Farnham Band before a capacity crowd, with proceeds going to Head and Neck Cancer Australia. The concert launched the organization’s year-long Lend Your Voice campaign, aiming to raise $1 million for the charity that supported Farnham through his own cancer treatment since 2022. Emcee Richard Wilkins noted that Farnham has played the venue in a record 94 sold-out shows over his career — “so I guess tonight makes it 95,” he told the crowd.
