:: The iconic rock figure and guitarist extraordinaire Slash
of Guns N' Roses fame in a rare one-on-one.
A musician, artist and iconic rock figure, Slash
is recognized as an indelible force in the world of music today. Time Magazine recently chose him as one of the best electric guitarists of all time, along with Hendrix himself. To us, he is the man who defined the sound of
Guns N' Roses
and the last great guitar god. With album sales nearing the 100 million mark, seven Grammy nominations, and countless music projects, Slash will be sharing memories and insights on life, love and playing loud during a very special in-depth celebrity interview at
Canadian Music Week on Thursday, March 11
:: Electric Six live in concert at Lee's Palace Saturday, March 13.
Electric Six is a six-piece metro Detroit-based band that
plays rock music but also infuses elements of garage, disco, punk, new wave and metal into their songs.
The band gained recognition in 2003 with their first single "Danger! High Voltage" when rumors
that Jack White from The White Stripes sang backup vocals on the song. The single proved a massive hit, particularly in the United Kingdom, landing #2 on the UK singles chart.
:: Born Ruffians
live in concert at the Phoenix Concert Theatre Sunday, March 14.
Since forming in 2002, the Born Ruffians -- Luke LaLonde, Mitch DeRosier and Steve Hamelin -- have been taking over bigger and bigger
stages without looking back. The group creates an explosion of writhing, jagged pop songs as beautiful and dangerous as shards of broken glass.
The band moved from Midland, Ontario to Toronto in 2004. After a
few local performances and their growing online reputation, Born Ruffians were signed to the UK electronic music label Warp Records. Their self-titled debut EP was released in 2006 and recorded by Ryan Mills at Little
King Studio (now Sleepytown Sound).
Canadian Music Week spans a five-day period from Mar. 10 - Mar. 14 at the Fairmont Royal York Hotel and various downtown Toronto venues,
