The Tragically Hip, City and Colour, the Sheepdogs and
Chromeo will be topping the bill at this year’s LIVE at Squamish
festival.
The lineup was revealed Wednesday night during a special
event at Vancouver’s Commodore Ballroom featuring B.C. bands Current
Swell and The Matinee, who are on the festival’s bill alongside
electro-pop songstress Lights, indie soul revelation Charles Bradley,
Vancouver’s Mother Mother and The Pack a.d., American indie rockers the
Airborne Toxic Event, and Canadian favourites Wintersleep, Kathleen
Edwards, and Plants and Animals.
The festival, which takes place Aug. 24-26 at Hendrickson Field and Logger Sports Grounds in Squamish, is in its third year.
As it did last year, the event will feature multiple stages, an artisan village, a silent disco and fun for all ages.

Turns out the city of Kingston forgot there was a 'The' in the band's title. Maybe they took the Grace, too lyric from Saturday Night Live literally, eh? Anyway, if the city is smart they will take all the misprinted signs and put them up on E-Bay or have some sort of auction. Maybe split the proceeds between a charity and offsetting the costs of the fuck up.
They need some good PR in Kingston as this process has seemed to be a bureaucratic nightmare from where I'm sitting in Las Vegas and I'm sure it's even more-so from up close. Have a look at the reader comments on the original source page (link below) to see what I mean.
If these signs do become available to the general public in some way, I will get the word out to you...
Will these be for sale?
A"clerical error" means the city will likely have
to take down and replace the street signs honoring The Tragically Hip,
just a day after the signs went up outside the K-Rock Centre.
The
Whig has learned that the city has decided to revise the bylaw that
currently calls the portion of what was Barrack Street "Tragically Hip
Way." The revision will add the word 'The' to the start of the street
name, and, therefore, the sign.
Councillors Dorothy Hector and Jim Neill both confirmed that council will be revisiting the issue in a motion tabled by Hector.
The
Tragically Hip's manager, Bernie Breen, confirmed via email that he did
notify city staff of the omission of the word "the" after it was
brought to his attention.
“The band's official name is The Tragically Hip, Breen wrote.
“(It) seems it was a small clerical error and obviously everyone wants to get it right."
City
staff noted prior to the signs being made that they would have to have
extra signs made, as there would undoubtedly be thefts of the signage.
This means all the extra signs will prove useless should the revised
bylaw be approved.

The Tragically Hip
Saturday Night Live
Studio 8H
30 Rockefeller Plaza
New York, NY
1995/03/25
Have you watched Saturday Night Live lately? My wife loves it and as such I end up watching it with her. We don't usually catch it 'Live', but rather we will watch it from their website sometime during the week when we have the time. It's been so good lately - except for the musical acts... This current cast is very talented and they've been together for a while which helps. SNL has always went through highs & lows. They are definitely in a High right now. Comedy-wise anyway.
Musically, it's a different story. It's just a record promo these days. Or a singles promo, right? WTF was that Lana Del Rey performance from earlier this year? The next episode airs on April 7, 2012 and features 'One Direction'. Who? I know, I know. I had to look them up. On this legendary stage that has been home to such performers as Jimmy Cliff, Gordon Lightfoot, The Band, Brian Wilson, Santana, Paul Simon, Willie Nelson, The Rolling Stones, Grateful Dead, Bob Dylan, Talking Heads, James Taylor, Paul McCartney, Aretha Franklin, Prince, The Allman Brothers Band, Elton John, Queen, Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers, Stevie Wonder, Bryan Adams, Stevie Ray Vaughan, The Neville Brothers, George Clinton, Run-DMC, Roy Orbison, Sting, Elvis Costello, Little Feat, Neil Young, Billy Joel, Aerosmith, Eric Clapton, The Black Crowes, R.E.M., Public Enemy, Nirvana, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Garth Brooks, Pearl Jam, Bruce Springsteen, Morrissey, Snoop Doggy Dogg, Green Day, Beastie Boys, Bon Jovi, Dave Matthews Band, Rod Stewart, Foo Fighters, Blues Traveler, David Bowie, Tina Turner, Whitney Houston, Metallica, Sarah McLachlan, Mariah Carey, Luciano Pavarotti, The Roots, Eminem, Radiohead, U2, Phish, Justin Timberlake, Queen Latifah, Arcade Fire and of course The Tragically Hip.
'One Direction' has been around since 2010. Yep. I guess they have a new single out and need some good face-time with the public. Look, I know that The Hip weren't the biggest thing going in the US when they were featured and getting them on the show probably never would have happened without the influence of their friend Danny Aykroyd, but at least they had a track record before they got there. They were arguably the number 1 act in Canada despite going head-to-head with the likes of Rush, Bryan Adams, etc... They had put out 4 solid albums front to back. I know that The Hip deserved this honour much more than 'One Direction' & most of this year's line-up have. It really used to mean something to make it up there on that stage. Now it's Money for Nothin'...
So, let me take you back to March 25, 1995. I was so excited to see the boys on this great show. John Goodman was the host, but Dan Aykroyd was there and so too was George Wendt (Norm from Cheers). They reprised the "Da Bears' skit... The Hip performed Grace, too and Nautical Disaster off of their recently released album Day for Night. Gord had hair. I had hair.
This was the origin of the "Tragically Hip' lyric being inserted into Grace, too's opening line. Gord had his mind on giving he nephew a signal for his 11th birthday with 2 fingers and well, you can check it out for yourself...

Here's some footage of the boys getting down to it in the studio. Notice the nice rims on the limo as they pull up for day 1. I'll post more as I find them. You will need the direst link for Youtube or you can view them here since they are not searchable for whatever reason... Enjoy, Like, Follow & pass along to your friends & get ready... The Machine is winding up....
