It looks like Hawksley Workman's been in some kind of horrible accident because he's stuck in a full body cast in the video for "Chemical." Yet somehow, he's still able to sing, freak out on a stretcher, sit up and play guitar and party for New Year's or something like that... despite that they're using a defibrillator on him. Uh huh...

are a trendy bunch. Their recent video for "Boy," a bass-driven pop tune from their newly released LP The Orchard, features the hot trend of the moment in the indie rock scene: cats.
"That was the selling point for us!" admits bassist Mathieu Santos. "We got a bunch of treatments from different directors and this one (from Adam Levite) had the fewest words. The first page just said 'Night time,' the second page said 'A cat arrives,' the next said 'Dozens of cats arrive' and we were like, 'We're making it!'"
"We didn't even finish reading," adds guitarist Milo Bonacci.
The video clip features back and forth shots between the five-piece performing and indeed dozens of furry cats frolicking and sitting around. Bonacci and Santos were both disappointed to see only four cats on set though, citing that the budget equated to "b-list cats or possibly just a cat lady with her cats but through the magic of computer animation we filled the screen."
When asked if the band were actual cat people, though, Bonacci and Santos confessed that they weren't. "I actually don't like cats at all!" said Bonacci. Santos is a self-proclaimed dog person.
"Milo had a really cool t-shirt with a cat that had lasers coming out of his eyes or something. Maybe that subconsciously inspired the video."
So what is it about indie rock and its feline obsession? Plastered on the cover of records like the Klaxons, Best Coast and Wavves and now starring in music videos. Bonacci provides a theory.
"They're the tame, domesticated version of the wild," explains Bonacci. "Just like indie rock is the tame version of rock 'n' roll. It's the house-trained version.
"If we renamed our band it would Cat Wolf Bear or something. Next album."
The band also teamed up with local Canadian cats Arts & Crafts Records for the release of The Orchard, revealing that this partnership was in fact years in the making but timing had delayed the band from officially signing on board with the label behind Canadian indie rock all-stars Broken Social Scene and Feist.
"We were talking to them when we made our first album and timing just didn't work out," said Bonacci. "This time around it just seemed right. It's been great to meet everyone here," Bonacci says of the A&C family, most notably label co-founder and Broken Social Scene frontman Kevin Drew, whom the band met at a barbeque. "He was the life of the party, very friendly guy, very awesome."
I think it's safe to say that Ra Ra Riot are in the company of some very cool cats nowadays, literally and figuratively.

If there's one word that could be used to describe Guelph, Ont.-based musician Nathan Lawr, it would have to be "consistent."
Throughout his career as a collaborator with Royal City, Feist, FemBots, the Constantines and others, and across solo ventures that led to the group Nathan Lawr And The Minotaurs, Lawr has always produced critically-lauded material, and his music has always hovered on a line between folk and rock.
The latter of those constants has come to an obvious end on Lawr's latest disc, The Thing. This time, Lawr and his bandmates (Don Kerr, Kevin Lynn, Jeremy Strachan, Paul Aucoin, Dan Levecque, Ryan Levecque and a few other part-timers) — who are going by a shortened Minotaurs moniker — have crafted an album that attempts to meld Lawr's familiar indie rock with Fela Kuti-inspired Afrobeat.
"I love that music," says Lawr. "It satisfies all my itches. The heavy beats, the psychedelic and the guitar rock can all fit within that realm.
"It's a pretty malleable type of music and it's pretty much all I listen to. And I wanted to make music from the bottom up instead of the top down — which is what I felt I'd been doing on my other records."
Though Lawr injected his rock sensibilities into The Thing, he was careful not to stray too far from Afrobeat's proven formula: uplifting rhythms that carry serious messages.
"It's not just party music," he says. "To me, it's a way of dealing with things that concern me about the world, without being a downer — trying to celebrate the fact that we're alive at the same time."
There's no shortage of dire imagery on The Thing. References to destructive water are commonplace (Lawr says it's just a coincidence that similar scenarios are currently playing out in real life), as are premonitions of a world on its last legs.
Lawr tackles the tough subject matter by examining an intangible energy that gave the album its title.
"The Thing, to me, is kind of hard to describe," he says, "which is why I try to tackle it in music... For lack of anything better, [you could call it] The Force — the energy that interferes in our daily lives when we interact with each other... that compels us to do the things we do, and that we don't spend too much time thinking about, but is nevertheless there.
"It's really flakey, I know.
"When you think about all the calamity in the world and how we're all affected by it... whether we like to admit it or not, we're all connected to one another in ways that aren't obvious."
The Minotaurs are planning to connect with fans at a smattering of shows in southern Ontario in the coming months, but haven't yet figured out how to take their nine-piece live outfit any further across the country. Here are the shows that have been announced:
Sep. 18 London, ON @ LOLA Festival

Damien Robitaille was used to playing for Quebec audiences when he recently headed to Argentina to perform at a teachers' conference.
The crowd of about 4,000 people didn't know who he was at first, since he's a French-Canadian artist and hadn't performed in Argentina before. But people were soon dancing in the aisles and got really into his set.
But he got one heck of a surprise at the end of the show.
"I got mobbed. There was like 50 or 60 women who just like came up on the stage, and they wanted autographs!" he says, laughing. "For the first time I was like, 'Man, I need a bodyguard!' Usually at the shows in Quebec they were very respectful, and just asked for me to sign a few things and you have a table.
"But they just came up and they were like, 'Gimme a kiss! Kiss here! Here's my mother! Sign this!' almost like crying. I felt like a celebrity. It was great. Even my musicians were like, 'What?'
They're very expressive. People gave me rings, like, 'Here's a ring! Wear it close to your heart!'"
While Robitaille's fans probably won't jump up on stage this weekend and mob him when he plays the Emerging Music Festival in Rouyn-Noranda, Que., his will definitely be one of the most attended sets during the entire festival.
The singer/songwriter, who was born in Ontario and now calls Montreal home, has developed a following in Quebec and has released two albums — 2006's L'Homme Qui Me Ressemble and last year's Homme Autonome.
"When you're doing the French thing, you're usually confined to France, Quebec, a bit of Canada," Robitaille says. "Whenever I can get out of the normal cycle and the usual places, that's what I strive for, just to change the routine a bit.
"I've had people in Mexico, Uruguay and Brazil ask for me to play just because of those shows."
But Robitaille says just because he's singing in French doesn't mean people who don't speak the language won't appreciate his music.
"I've noticed that my music surpasses the language," he says. "People enjoy the music, not just the language. Often, we limit ourselves as French artists to thinking we can just play for French publics."

Quest For Fire are currently on a quest to get in front of people.
"We finally get to be busy again," says Quest For Fire guitarist Andrew Moszynski. "I'm looking forward to the shows, response and just doing... something new."
It's been quite a year for the Toronto psychedelic groove rockers: 365 days of night-before-Christmas level anticipation while waiting for sophomore full-length Lights From Paradise to hit the streets. But it's finally here.
"It's a wonderful feeling seeing this record out now," Moszynski sighs. "We were in a strange place with the last album. It caused a lot of downtime in unusual ways.
"This album was actually recorded over a year ago, but we had to sit on it for a lot of reasons."
While Moszynski's reference to holding back issuing Lights From Paradise elicits thoughts of debaucherous behaviour generating litigating circumstances or tragedy resulting in delayed albums, he's actually recollecting an enviable bit of good fortune.
Quest For Fire's 2008 eponymous debut was a notoriously rousing affair that eventually caught the attention of revered New York-based stoner/boogie/groove metal label Tee Pee Records. They were chomping at the bit to issue it Stateside.
But this was a full year after the album had hit the Canadian market and Quest For Fire were already knee-deep in Lights From Paradise.
The result: pushing this latest work back to eradicate any overlap. The band recorded it in April 2009, and have been agonizing over Lights From Paradise ever since, ensuring that it not only matches the success of its predecessor but decimates it entirely.
"We were still working on it until April or May of this year since we had the extra time," Moszynski admits.
"It was a blessing to have the extra year before handing over a finished album. We could move slowly and not have to ram everything down; could make sure that there weren't any of those parts you cringe at when you listen back to your own albums... or at least not as many."
Lights For Paradise boasts a haunting indie rock essence tied to staunch grooves worthy of Black Sabbath's best and progressively kaleidoscopic tangents countered by unyielding grooves. One would say the patience worked in spades.
Utilizing the wealth of grace time to hone, tweak, redo and fuss, Moszynski, guitarist Chad Ross, drummer Mike Maxymuik and bassist Josh Bauman have succeeded in turning out a challenging yet surprisingly uncomplicated affair.
Moszynski nods, acknowledging how the quartet could have become trapped in a spiral of tinkering that would render Lights From Paradise an outright mess, yet pulled back just in time.
"It would've been so easy to overthink everything," he asserts. "We could have thrown 200 overdubs onto everything, but we managed to resist. We took the time to mix it really well, but had little breaks so we didn't drive ourselves completely nuts listening to the same music over and over again.
"I'm not sick of hearing these songs yet, which is perfect. Either way, it's about time we moved forward instead of nitpicking this album to death before anyone's even heard it.”

Jann Arden's a passionate lady. She's had an extremely successful career singing about love, heartbreak and her feelings (or others' lack thereof; see "Insensitive," for instance).
So it's only appropriate that she's part of a new Haagen-Dazs video interview series called Passion Profiles, in which she'll talk about her life and what drives her as a person.
What's even better is she'll be answering some of CHARTattack's questions about how she ticks.
