Looks like OLP's show in Amherst will in fact be held indoors.  So if you are planning on attending.  Don't forget your $10.00 American.  The following note was added to the Springfest 2000 website:

The University @ Buffalo's Undergraduate Student Association and University Union Activities Board are pleased to present Spring Fest 2000 on April 29, 2000 @ 4PM. Co-Headlining are Method Man/Redman, and Our Lady Peace.

Due to the weird weather Buffalo is having. The Primary location has been changed to Alumni because of the frequent cold weather and the ground being too wet for the stage to be set up.

Also go to Band BBS and send in your requests for OLP!  Here is some info about the festival  and Band BBS that you should read before making your requests:
BAND BBS 
Up to date, we have information that there will be more than 100 acts appearing at the Fuji Rock Festival '00 this year. But at this stage only a few have been confirmed yet. So why not make suggestions to the organizer to approach your favorite artist or band to participate? There are thousands of great artists on this planet, but only a few of those get a chance to be exposed in the mass media. Within those who are not that lucky, there just might be the next Superstars. Make any suggestions that you think might make a better festival, not only to the organizers but also the fujirockers about these hidden talented. "This BBS is born out of this idea!" 

Please make sure that you clearly name only one artist in one go and your e-mail address, as they might contact you to give details about the artist and his/her/their music, in more than 100 words but less then 400. If one does not fulfill the conditions. the message will be deleted. 

For the first 300 people to post a message here, there will be a gift of a 15 framed holographic card sticker of Fuji Rock Festival '00. You will need to send us a self addressed and stamped envelope. The details will be e-mailed to you, should your choice be of any interest. 

Also, just in case your dream to slot your favorite act for the Festival comes true, 1 couple could win a competition to get a back stage pass to meet the act. Obviously you would have to be on the site, "which means a ticket holder," for this competition, but at this stage we cannot yet guarantee that all of the acts would accept this, but the organizers have agreed to do their best

Information on OLP's Summersault tour makes the MTV news page!  Thanks to MattCTUSA on the CC for the scoop.

The following was taken from Muchmusic's  RapidFax :
SUMMERSAULT 2000 
Our Lady Peace has announced the Foo Fighters and Smashing Pumpkins will join them as headliners for this year's installment of the Summersault music festival. Promoters for the tour say actual dates, venues and bands that will be performing at the shows are yet to be confirmed, but that Summersault will take place in August, and play venues across the country. OLP was recently forced to cancel five U.S. shows when bassist Duncan Coutts severely jammed and sprained his left wrist during a snowboarding accident. However, the band does not expect the injury will affect any plans for the Summersault tour.  Tune into Fax on the weekend for a possible repeat. Thanks to dabek on the CC.

April 4, 2000
See OLP.com for a crack from Raine for news on Summersault 2000.  So far the big bands that have signed are The Smashing Pumpkins  (guess they rearranged their schedule so they could do the show. Last we heard in an interview with Billy Corgan on Edge 102, they were going to be touring and couldn't perform at  Summersault) and The Foo Fighters!  Raine mentions that the fesitival will cross Canada starting in Vancouver and ending in Halifax. 

Here is the official press release taken from OLP.com:

National August tour confirmed with the Smashing Pumpkins and Foo Fighters 

(TORONTO) The members of Our Lady Peace are pleased to announce that their vision to take the multi-band festival Summersault to a national stage has been realized. Our Lady Peace's Summersault 2000 will roll across Canada from Vancouver to Halifax in August of 2000. Confirmed already to join Our Lady Peace on this national tour are The Smashing Pumpkins and Foo Fighters. Many more guests will be confirmed in the upcoming weeks; all ticketing, routing and venue information for this tour, presented by Our Lady Peace with House Of Blues Canada, is still to be announced. 

Our Lady Peace conceived Summersault in 1998 as a multi-artist festival to bring together some of their favourite Canadian and international artists on one stage. The first Summersault consisted of five shows with such acts as Garbage, Crystal Method, Sloan, Hayden, Esthero and I Mother Earth sharing the stage with OLP. 

"This news is so exciting for me and the rest of the band as we've been working on this for the last 4 or 5 months," said Our Lady Peace vocalist Raine Maida. "Taking this tour nationally was our plan from the beginning, and we always wanted to bring on board friends of ours and bands that we're completely impressed by musically. With the Pumpkins and Foo Fighters signed up -- and we can't wait to confirm the rest of the bands as well -- it's going to be a great day of music." 

Fans are encouraged to log onto the band's official website at www.ourladypeace.com as more details will be announced shortly for Summersault 2000.

Just in from Stacy at ClumsyCongress.com,

Visit www.ourladypeace.com first thing tomorrow morning for a very special crack from Raine about Summersault 2000!

Unfortunately Duncan Coutts severely jammed and sprained his left wrist due to a snowboarding accident yesterday.  This will affect a couple of dates that the band had planned to play in the states:
Cleveland, OH -  April 13
Indiana, PA - April 14
Pittsburgh, PA - April 15
Joplin, MO - April 17
Nashville, TN - April 18
The band is quite upset about the situation and apologizes to the fans that were planning to attend the concerts. 

Our Lady Peace album title comes in handy when reviewing sushi restarurants!!!  While Our Lady Peace believe that  "Happiness is Not a Fish that you can Catch," restaurant critics disagree.  A recent restaurant review in the Waterloo Imprint, states that "Happiness is a Fish that you can Catch, It is a Cold Dead Fish on Rice." 

Thanks to all your votes, OLP have climbed 11 spots from #43 to #32 on the Fuji Rocker's Poll.  Keep showing your support!  Please note:  Be sure to vote for "OUR LADY PEACE" with all capitals as this is the one with the most votes and has the best chance of moving them to the top!.  There is also "Our Lady Peace" which is ranked 150, "Our lady peace" which is ranked 243 and "Our Lady Peace Rules" ranked 291. We don't understand why there are 4 separate ways that the name is written but we do know that the one with capitals has the best chance of making OLP #1!  What are you waiting for?  Vote now!

Last night Our Lady Peace played a private show at the University of Waterloo's Federation Hall (19+ on-campus club).  The show was a party put on by a video networking company called Pixstream.  The company gave tickets out to 2nd & 3rd year students in Engineering and Mathematics.  We contacted the company and the school, and were told it was a private event and that there was no way to get tickets as it was a full house.  Please don't hate us for not posting this before-hand, but we were told by both the company and Sony not to release the information because they wanted to keep it private.  And we had to respect their wishes.

However, we couldn't resist.  We took the trip to Waterloo and were treated to tickets by a kind gentleman standing at the front of the venue. They were strict at the door and did not allow cameras.  We did however get a Neckpass and two free drink tickets each on entry. And after the show we snagged a Setlist.  The set they played was actually a little different than the setlist.  They did not perform OMA, and blended Carnival into Teardrop.

Thanks to Ryan and Kevin for the information, the guy who ran around to find a second ticket for us, and the Band for one of our all time favourite shows.  And a special thanks to Mike for throwing us a bottle of water after noticing how thirsty we were from all our singing. We needed it! :-)

Update on the whole Smashing Pumpkins discussion on the Corgan Comment and the possible Summer Tour with OLP.

Billy Corgan was on The Edge in Toronto earlier yesterday, and they asked him about the bad comment back in 1998 on MuchMusic. Can't remember exactly what he said, but he covered his tracks.  Something like, it was just a kick in their shins, and that even though he feels that he hears an influence of SP in earlier OLP, they have developed into their own, and have a great new sound.

They are repeating the interview Monday March 13 sometime between 6-8 pm EST on Live In Toronto on 102.1 The Edge.  If you are out of the broadcast area, you can listen to it on The Edge's Live Feed off their website: http://www.edge102.com.

Please note:  Billy Corgan has stated that the Smashing Pumpkins will not be touring with Our Lady Peace on the Summersault Tour nor will they be taking part in Edgefest.

News from the latest TH,
OLP has an Artist Spotlight running on UBL.com from March 8 - 14/00.   They will be giving away 50 Ltd Ed. UK CD extras (which includes the One Man Army video).

Just in from Sony's Buzzwords,
OUR LADY PEACE -- SCALED
Having just completed a sold-out arena tour of Canada, Our Lady Peace will return to the States for another series of the band's critically-acclaimed "Scaled" shows beginning March 13 in Cambridge, Massachusetts (see itinerary following).  Following the "Scaled" tour, the Toronto-based rock band will perform full-on electric sets at colleges, clubs, and radio shows.

Our Lady Peace inaugurated the "Scaled" concept in January 2000 with a series small-scale "acoustic" gigs in intimate venues.  Each of the four members of OLP--Raine Maida (vocals), Mike Turner (guitar), Jeremy Taggart (drums), Duncan Coutts (bass)--has created a short film that runs during the band's performances.  During the "Scaled" shows, OLP has been taking questions from the audience.

"We wanted to interact with our real fans and allow them to see us in a new light," said Raine Maida before launching the first "Scaled" shows.  "At the same time, these shows give us the opportunity to be more up-close, intimate, and personal."

Songs from Happiness... Is Not A Fish That You Can Catch (OLP's third album, it debuted at #1 on the group's native Canadian sales charts, ahead of Nine Inch Nails, Chris Cornell, Tori Amos and other first week debuts), as well as the band's biggest hits and some surprising cover songs, are being featured in the "Scaled" shows. Happiness... is the second Our Lady Peace album to debut at the top of the Canadian sales charts.  The band's second album, Clumsy, which
contained the U.S. Top 5 Modern Rock tracks "Superman's Dead" and "Clumsy," is rapidly approaching the RIAA platinum mark in the U.S.  "One Man Army," the first single from Happiness... Is Not A Fish That You Can Catch, has continued OLP's success on alternative radio and went Top 10 on Billboard's Modern Rock Tracks.  "Is Anybody Home?"," the new single from Happiness..., is currently climbing the Billboard Modern Rock Track chart.

The first round of "Scaled" performances were a huge success with the band's fans and the pop music press: "...with crisp vocals and acoustic twang taking the forefront, Our Lady Peace put on an exhibition of diversity," wrote Marc Weinroth in the Fort Lauderdale Sun-Sentinel (January 14, 2000), "The head-banging was nonexistent, but it wasn't missed.  In its place, Maida shone
brighter than the hundred or so candles that lined the ballroom, benefiting from the acoustic atmosphere.  On 'Lying Awake' and the new single, 'Is Anybody Home?,' both from the band's latest album, 'Happiness Is Not A Fish That You Can Catch,' Maida used his voice as an instrument, manipulating and contorting it to make high-pitched noises in the same way that Rage Against  the Machine's Tom Morello distorts his guitar to sound like a harmonica....the band's concept for an evening of intimate acoustic renditions of its songs was both original and
intriguing...."   "Opening with 'Naveed,' OLP set the standard for the rest of the night," penned Bill Snyder in the Southern Methodist University Daily Campus.  "Mike Turner's lead guitar was flawless.... Singer Raine Maida stretched the limits of his already distinctive voice throughout the night, much to the appreciation of the crowd."

MEDIA PRAISE

The radio stations who'd sponsored the "Scaled" shows were equally enthusiastic.

Allan Fee, KPNT, St. Louis, Missouri: "Breathtakingly unbelievable.  Seriously -- they're great songwriters and excellent musicians. We were blown away by their 'Scaled' performance."

John O'Connell (Operations Manager/Program Director), WPBZ, Palm Beach: "We recorded the entire live performance from the Ballroom and played it back for our listeners after the show. The requests to hear it again were so huge that we had to play it again the next morning. 'Is Anybody Home?' has been in power rotation ever since with top 5 requests every day."

Darlyn (APD), WKRO,  Daytona Beach: "The line to get autographs after their performance was out of control. 'Is Anybody Home?' immediately went into power rotation after the show . The requests are huge."

Dave Stewart, Operations Manager, KKND, New Orleans: "Fantastic Show!  Only a band with this talent level could pull it off."

Steve Robison  (APD/KTBZ/Houston): "One Word: Magical!"

Thanks to our email pal Eri, we have some interesting news for Japanese fans:

* "Happiness..." will be released on March 8, 2000 with 2 bonus tracks (Needle and the Damage Done and Clumsy). 

* "Happiness..." has been getting positive feedback in Japanese magazines lately.  The most recent review states "it is really strange that OLP have not recieved much attention in Japan until now, since they are such a great band."  The critic also complimented the band on their sound, lyrics and Raine's voice. 

*   Ever hear of the Fuji Rock Festival?  Well it is similar to the UK's Glastenbury Festival and has hosted such bands as Limp Bizkit, Rage Against the Machine, Blur and the Chemical Brothers, just to mention a few. This year, the promoters are asking for the public's help in deciding which bands should play.  So far, OLP have received 3 votes.  Even if we can't go to the festival, let's show them our support by giving them our votes as well! (We hope to have a website for you to go to and vote soon!)

In other news, there are rumours floating around that OLP may be playing at the Commodore Ballroom in Vancouver, BC on either March 26 or 31.  As more info becomes available, we will post this date in our Tour Info section so stay tuned. Thanks to Chimera from the CC!

Speaking of Claire's new site, she has mentioned in her news section that OLP were featured in two European Magazines.  In the March 2000 edition of Rock Sound, the band is praised very highly.  Unfortunately, in Melody Maker, "Happiness..." is reviewed and only receives a 1 1/2 out of 5.  If anyone knows of any website links for these magazines, please let us know. Thanks again to Claire for this news!

Please let us know, if these details are incorrect. 

****Live X Correction:  Actually, we have taken a closer look at the LIVE X website and it looks like they post a new Live X performance (that has received high demand) each Monday at noon.  So if you have real player, you should be able to listen to OLP starting from next Monday (Feb 21) at noon.

These SCALED RESPONSES just in from Columbia's Daily Dish:

Our Lady Peace recently completed "Scaled," a series of "acoustic" shows staged in intimate club settings across the U.S.  Here's how some of the sponsoring radio stations responded to OLP's performances:

Allan Fee, KPNT, St. Louis, Missouri:
"Breathtakingly unbelievable. These guys are more than just a Canadian band. They blow away Anne Murray. Seriously -- they're great songwriters and excellent musicians. We were blown away by their 'Scaled' performance."

John O'Connell (Operations Manager/Program Director), WPBZ, Palm Beach: "We recorded the entire live performance from the Ballroom and played it back for our listeners after the show. The requests to hear it again were so huge that we had to play it again the next morning. 'Is Anybody Home?' has been in power rotation ever since with top 5 requests every day."

Darlyn (APD), WKRO,  Daytona Beach:
"OLP reaffirmed themselves with our listeners after seeing them play live. The line to get autographs after their performance was out of control. 'Is Anybody Home?' immediately went into power rotation after the show . The requests are huge."

Dave Stewart, Operations Manager, KKND, New Orleans:
"Fantastic Show!  Only a band with this talent level could pull it off."

*****Tune in to hear "Is Anybody Home?" the new single from Our Lady Peace, in the WB

Our Lady Peace OLP AT ACC 
Our Lady Peace have begun their Canadian tour which brought them to Toronto's Air Canada Centre last night (Feb 1). The band performed songs from their new album, "Happiness Is Not A Fish (That) You Can Catch", in front of some 10,000 happy fans. Our cameras were there to catch all the highlights. 

Stereophonics Open Up
The opening act for Our Lady Peace is Welsh band, the Stereophonics. The band is huge on the other side of the Atlantic, having just garnered 2 nominations in the upcoming Brit Awards, but they're just starting to make some headway here in North America.

Keep checking our website this weekend for pictures from the I and I, Soundcheck and ACC concert.  We will also be adding some new fan photos! 

February 3, 2000
Raine called in after the Montreal show with a  New Crack In The Pavement.  There is also a New Crack From the Congress by the winning fan, Joseph Brito.

Thanks to Rick of the up-and-coming olp-uk.com for the scoop that "Metal Hammer", a U.K. rock publication, has an interview with Raine.  He says its a great one!  We found the magazine's website, but the article with Raine was not there.  However, there is a review of Happiness..., and they rated OLP an 8 out of 10.  Pretty good rating in a country that they barely wet their feet in!  :-)

Also drop by Vue Weekly for a great article on the band that includes a plug of the Clumsy Congress!  Thanks to chou from guess where?......The Congress!

February 3, 2000
"Cracks In The Pavement" is now expanded to include reports from you, the fans! Check it out daily for reports from the fans in  "Cracks From The Congress." The band will also be leaving their "Cracks In The Pavement" reports once a week.  Head on over to OLP.com to listen to Sarah Lounder, the winner of  "The Web Is A Blister" contest for St John's, call in for the very first  "Crack From The Congress." 

The Juno Nominations have been announced!!!
OLP have been nominated in the categories of Best Group and Best Rock Album.  Their Producer, Arnold Lanni has also been nominated for Best Producer for "One Man Army" and "Is Anybody Home?"

This OUR LADY PEACE UPDATE courtesy of Columbia Records:

In the wake of the Juno Award nominations, Our Lady Peace has any number of reasons to celebrate.  The group's single, "Is Anybody Home," is the #4 Rock/Alternative record in Canada while  "Happiness... Is Not A Fish That You Can Catch" is the #1 Rock/Alternative album in Canada according to SoundScan.

Also, in more Our Lady Peace news, the group began their "The World's A Blister" Canadian tour on Saturday, January 29, and played last night, February 2, at the Air Canada Centre in their 
hometown of Toronto. The concert had the Toronto Sun raving:

"Occasionally, a concert is more remarkable for what didn't happen than what did.

"And, while there was little doubting Our Lady Peace's capabilities at the Air Canada Centre last night, it was surprising when they kicked off their 90-minute set the old fashioned way: No films, no  pre-taped musical passages, not even a surefire hit to get the 10,000-strong crowd on its collective feet.

"The band simply took the stage and started, and promptly hit a stride that they wouldn't lose for the entire night.

"Granted, it was exactly two years ago, with a show at Maple Leaf Gardens, that OLP proved they could fill an arena with a performance as well as with fans, thereby staking their claim as something other than just another Can-rock hype machine destined to level off at club-level (not that there's anything wrong with it).

 "What was different this time was that the group waited until mid-set, a version of Naveed, to turn on the projector and get artsy with a stream of specially shot films of old men, clowns and so forth.

"Too late: If movies were a visually stimulating payoff, turns out OLP worked just as well in the dark for the first half with a few police lights flashing. Who knew?

 "As overwhelming audience sing-alongs on hits One Man Army, 4 A.M. and Clumsy showed, the band weren't about to meet with much resistance.

"Singer Raine Maida, guitarist Mike Turner, drummer Jeremy Taggart, bassist Duncan Coutts and auxiliary keyboardist Jamie Edwards upped their sonic scope as much as possible with an arsenal of electronic gear -- Turner looking ultimately chilled out in a pair of headphones.

 "It wasn't long before the Can-rock slipped away -- along with reams of Pearl Jam comparisons that have dogged the band since 1994 -- with a loose version of Massive Attack's stunning Teardrop. 

" A nice touch, yeah, but OLP, for better or worse, have come into their own."

Stay tuned to 106.5 The End for an Endsession with OLP to be broadcast either this weekend or next! 

Be sure to watch Muchmusic's Rapid Fax today for a feature on the "Scaled" show in Orlando, Florida.  You can catch it today at 4:40 pm EST. Thanks to starseed51 for the info. 

Also....check out this week's edition of Kerrang! Magazine for a review of OLP's "One Man Army" single by Catherine Chambers.

Verdict : 4 / 5
Formats:
Four - track CD ("One Man Army"/ "Starseed"/ "Clumsy"/ "One Man Army ( video)") and a Limited edition, two - track, seven - inch blue vinyl ("One Man Army"/ "Superman's Dead (live)").

A RECENT support slot with the Stereophonics will have done this Canadian quartet's prospects no harm and this big brash anthem is likely to earn them a few more fans as well. "One Man Army" has 'stadium quality' written all over it: Herculean rhythms, searing melodies and Raine Maida's acrobatic vocals transform "One Man Army" from meat - and - two - veg rock into an intelligently crafted tune that begs repeated listening. Sadly, B - sides "Starseed" and "Clumsy" - tracks from their previous two albums - stumble down the wrong path, with none of the same creative energies, and are unable to extricate themselves from the epithet 'average'. Thanks to Rick from Drown In A Starseed for this article.

Thanks to Katie off of Clumsy Congress for the following.  It is an email from a Juno Rep explaining OLP's schedule on the Juno Awards,  Saturday, March 11 is the Gala dinner and "off air" awards.  Our Lady Peace is ONLY performing on Sunday, March 12.  It's possible they will attend the Saturday night event, but I don't know this and won't probably until the night.

The Muchmusic Countdown is back in action.... Unfortunately, "One Man Army" has dropped from #3 to #8.  On the positive side, "Is Anybody Home?" is inching it's way up slowly but surely from #30 to #29 !!!
