Propagandhi: politically hardcore By Lindsey Rivait
Arts Editor
March 25, 2009 Propagandhi, the punk rock band from Manitoba best known for their many forms of activism, are back on the map with their fifth release, Supporting Caste.  The album marks the band’s first effort as a four-piece.
The band members grouped together in twos and threes to work on the songs featured on Supporting Caste.
“Being flexible and efficient in this way, and writing things as a four piece group, allowing for the flavours of [newest member David “The Beaver” Guillas] to add depth and dynamic qualities, was a new step in a good direction for us,” said drummer Jord Samoleski. >> | Eye on the Arts: Chantelle Mayville By Josh Kolm
Lance Writer March 25, 2009 Like many passionate vocalists, Chantelle Mayville can trace her interest in music to her upbringing.
“Fortunately, I grew up in a musical family. My grandmother and mother are both pianists and organists at local churches and have their own private studios. My grandmother, grandfather, and father have always sung in the choir. I always had a strong musical support system encouraging me every step of my training process.”
After a lifetime of training in classical vocals and opera performance, Mayville is preparing to graduate from UWindsor’s School of Music vocal program in the spring, but has recently received the incredible news that she has been accepted to the Elardo Young Artist Program in Brugge, Belgium. >>  | | Campus Kiss | | Movie raises money for Crohn's By Katie Winterburn
Lance Writer March 25, 2009 As the end of the school year rapidly approaches, many of us are making plans for the summer. But what do those plans entail? Do you plan on spending your summer working? Attending classes? Getting in shape? What about volunteering and helping as many people as possible?
How about spending your summer doing a number of these things, but instead of working to raise money for school it was to raise money for the Crohn’s and Colitis Foundation of Canada (CCFC).
If instead of attending classes you were studying Canadian geography first hand, or if instead of hitting the gym on a regular basis you hopped on a bike and took off, or if instead of volunteering at a local nursing home you took it to a whole other level—setting a goal of raising $80,000 for the Crohn’s and Colitis Foundation and raising awareness throughout the country while doing it. >> |
