Straight Oota Canada is:
Creature
Montreal dance-rockers Creature make party music that The Mirror calls “an arch, arty strain of spiffy, spiky, highly danceable pop-rock, speckled with retro flavoured raps and riffs crafted with enough
care to make mainstream waves.” Think Prince, the B-52s and a drunken beauty queen all rolled into one happily delirious Creature.
Socalled
Socalled is a musician, photographer, magician and writer based in Montreal. He has now appeared on a dozen recordings as pianist, singer, arranger, rapper, writer and producer. Socalled performs and records widely with a crew of mixed-up freaks and geniuses from around the world, including Killah Priest, Susan Hoffman-Watts, Frank London, Matisyahu and Irving Fields.
Jets Overhead
This five-piece from Victoria, Canada has mesmerized crowds at home and abroad with their hypnotic take on trance rock. The band received the prestigious national honor of a Juno nomination (Canada’s equivalent of the Grammys) for Best New Group after the release of their debut full-length album, Bridges. Visit www.jetsoverhead.com for free downloads of preview tracks from their forthcoming album, No Nations.
The four members of Hollerado grew up on the same street in a small town in Ontario. One day, while riding the bus, a man in an exquisitely tailored suit said to them “it is not nearly as fun to reminisce about the times you didn’t spend your life savings on four one-way tickets to Japan.” With that in mind they got jobs doing construction. When they were tearing down the old walls they listened to The Who. When they built new walls they talked about time travel. Today, they play pop-rock with punchy beats and catchy hooks. You can download their debut album, “Record in a Bag” for free at www.hollerado.com.
This much buzzed-about Montreal quintet has had a whirlwind year, catching the attention of fans and media with their unique brand of psychedelic folk-rock, and landing a record deal and shows at Canadian Music Week and SXSW in the process. Come see what all the fuss is about.
Representing Canada at MIDI 2009, these 5 acts run the genre gamut from hip hop to indie rock to metal to triphop and electro. For those of us who are too lazy to trek up to Zhenjiang for the festival, Split Works and transmitCHINA are bringing the Canadian contingent of MIDI all down to Shanghai for your listening pleasure over three nights of noise at Yuyintang and Anar.

加盟佳音狂欢的乐队有：
Creature
来自蒙特利尔的四人乐队，前不久刚参加了Juno的颁奖礼。他们的myspace里把自己归为pop、funk和post punk。天啊，这些风格混合在一起会变成什么样？多说无益，听下他们的myspace你就会明白了。
Socalled
Socalled是一个蒙特利尔的音乐家，摄影师，魔术师和作家。他以钢琴师，歌手，编曲者，打击乐手，作家和制作人等身份参与了许多专辑的录制工作。另外Socalled也同全世界一大批怪才、天才合作表演和录制，其中包括：Killah Priest，Susan Hoffman-Watts，Frank London, Matisyahu和Irving Fields等。
Jets Overhead
这个来自加拿大维多利亚的五人组合以其催眠术般的trance rock迷住了一大群国内外的乐迷。在发布了他们的首张专辑《Bridges》后，乐队得到了广泛好评并收获了Juno奖（加拿大的Grammy）“最佳新组合”的提名。去他们的网站www.jetsoverhead.com，你可以下载到他们下一张专辑《No Nations》中的试听单曲。
Hollerado的四个成员是在安大略省的一个小镇的同一条街上长大的。有一天，当他们在乘车时，一个穿着考究西装的家伙跑过来对他们说：“你们要知道，一生忙忙碌碌省衣缩食就为了存四张去日本的机票可不是什么令人愉快的回忆。”他们听进了这句话并开始做起了建筑工。当他们在砸墙的时候，他们听着《The Who》；当他们在砌新墙的时候，他们讨论着时间旅行。现在，他们又玩起了带有强有力节奏的pop rock。你可以去他们网站www.hollerado.com 上免费下载首张专辑《Record in a Bag》。
2008年成立于蒙特利尔的Final Flash是一支迷幻民谣乐队，他们一出道就在加拿大音乐周和蒙特利尔流行音乐节等各种场合进行了演出，立马获得不少粉丝的欢心和媒体的注意，其中包括洛杉矶的North Star媒体公司。这家公司曾经做过Rod Stewart, Cher, Mudhoney等众多知名乐队的专题。签约Indiaca厂牌以后，目前Final Flash正在录音棚里录制他们的第一张专辑，准备在今年春天发行。专辑制作人是著名独立乐队Besnard Lakes的Jace Lasek。乐队也参加了今年3月的SXSW音乐节，取得了不错的反响。
这五支乐队将代表加拿大参加2009年的镇江迷笛音乐节。他们的风格各不相同，从hip hop到独立摇滚，从金属到trip-pop，还有永远时髦的电子乐。考虑到那些不能去镇江一睹他们风采的乐迷朋友们，Split Works和transmitCHINA将把他们直接带到上海。这支加拿大军团将在五一期间在育音堂和石榴每天轰炸你的耳朵，而每晚也都会有本地暖场乐队上台助阵。你准备好了吗？！
