A definite highlight of this year’s trip was a very generous invitation to join a group tour of the Old Jameson Distillery where some of us were lucky volunteers for the whiskey taste test! The Irish take their whiskey very seriously, and it was a hugely interesting for us to learn just how serious. We [...]

After six years of working hard and kicking ass, NIXON (formerly Tiny Danza) are about to blow up. They hail from Toronto, Ontario and are a perfect blend of hip-hop, dance and r&b. They’re committed to writing contemporary music that is at once sophisticated, accessible and meaningful; it’s where art music meets hip-hop. Inspired by musicians such as The Roots, Donny Hathaway, Outkast, [...]

INDIE WEEK is very fortunate to have some great partners and sponsors that allow us to team up with and attend some pretty cool events. This years JUNOS were held in Canada’s capital Ottawa, Ontario. For those that do not know what the JUNOS are, it’s basically Canada’s version of The Grammy’s. And that is [...]

Hard to believe it’s been less than 12 months since we discovered The Suburbians at Indie Week Ireland 2011, since so much has happened since then. As our 2012 Ireland festival nears, it’s time to reflect on what’s happened for The Suburbians since winning. The band’s made 2 trips to Canada, both organized by INDIE [...]

We started our last day of the trip in Memphis like any other morning… waking up to sunshine and packing up our stuff, loading the van and setting out. Little did we know, this would likely be one of the best days of the whole trip. First thing on the agenda today was a private [...]

It all started at 5am. An unthinkable, ungodly hour for most bands, but we did it – 12 of us all packed our stuff in the trailer and got cozy in a giant 15-passenger van. Tim Horton’s in hand, we were off. With nothing but the open North American road ahead of us; 1300 kms [...]
