The Standstills make rock with spirit. Spiritually is deep at their core and they have followed that path to one of the scared sites of rock 'n roll, Joshua Tree National Park, for the video for their latest single, "Wild" from their upcoming album 'Badlands'. The director is Jeff Scheven of Black Fawn Films.
Guitarist Jonathan Fox says the idea for the location came from drummer Renee Couture and says intriguingly they are working on a novel which will explain the video and its connection to The Pyramid Code. 
WHUT? as the kids also say. The video is trailer for a book?
Well I can't get my head around that without help. Maybe the answer as some of the kids say is in the desert.

Will McGuirk May 8, 2018

By Will McGuirk

CMW kicked off Monday May 7 and continues right through until Sunday. Among the hundreds of acts playing there are a few well known acts but thats the key to CMW; its a showcase of the new, the emerging, the bubbling under. With scores of venues, affordable ticketing and a slew of activities and events such as panel discussions, award shows, trade shows, an international showcase focus on the USA for 2018, a hackathon, summits, and a film festival there's no excuse to not get out and enjoy the week. Go see the next big thing now and get the bragging rights. Some of the existing big things involved or performing include Mudhoney, Sloan, Nile Rodgers, Bob Lefsetz, Steve Horowitz and Denise Donlon.

Celebrate St. Pats day in Downtown Oshawa with wild local music

Will McGuirk March 17, 2018

Oshawa digs deep into its own scene to celebrate St. Patrick's Day. If overpriced green beer, squeaky reels and sad songs about the old sod are not your bag step away from the bar and get to the clubs for some sounds of the city, Shwarock style.

Here is a taste of our brand new single "Wild" out March 30th. Presave it now on Spotify, iTunes, Apple Music or Google Play here: http://smarturl.it/thestandstills-wild Follow The Standstills: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thestandstills Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TheStandstills Twitter: https://twitter.com/TheStandstills

Its been a while since the Standstills have rocked this town. They are in tonight for a hometown gig at the Oshawa Music Hall. They have a new single out at the end of the month. The next gen Crown Lands are also on the bill. Don't be fooled by each act only having two members - this is going to be loud.

Misery by Crown Lands Recorded & Filmed Live at The Moustache Club, Oshawa ON Written by Cody Bowles & Kevin Comeau Engineered by Justin Meli Videography by Jack Hawley Special thanks to Jacob Hamayda & The Moustache Club

We suggest you get to the Moustache Club early as the bad lads in Tijuana Jesus are quite likely to drink all of the beer tonight. Its a full bill with four acts; Fish Head Phil, Bad Waitress and Thrash Eater are also in the house. There will be a selection of local breweries onsite too so this one goes deep deep in to the culture of the D-Rock. 

Tijuana Jesus Live at The Moustache Club Oshawa Feb 11 2017
This is the official music video for The Bitch: Phase II. from Fish Head Phil's upcoming album Hookers Written by: Jamek Spring Director/Editor - Myke Pulito. Camera - Evan Hoskin/Myke Pulito. Additional Effects - Jason Ducey. Shot on location Downtown Oshawa.

There's a somewhat softer twanginess to the tunes from GT Harris and the Gunslingers who are playing at the Atria. There's a fiddle so if you are going to seek out fiddle music tonight then this is where you want to be. They shall be joined by Terry Savage and the Wonky Honkys so there's that. 

All venues are within walking distance of each, staggering if late in the evening. Enjoy and don't do stupid.
