Read
these three articles on Summersault. One from the Ottawa
Sun, Montreal
Gazette and another from the Toronto
Sun.
As
Raine mentioned on 106.9 The Bear, a new single from OLP's upcoming 4th album
will be out sometime in October. Thanks to MikeOLPfan from the CC for the news!
Watch
Muchmusic for a full hour of Summersault coverage on August 27th. MuchEast
will have highlights, clips and interviews from the bands. Thanks to
acrobat on the CC for the scoop!
August
12, 2000
Thanks
to NAVINA on the CC and our friend Rob, here are some highlights from Edge
102's interview with Raine and Jeremy yesterday:
-
the
new album is coming together "really fast and easy" and is
"already over
half done"!
-
after
Summersault, the band is going to New York to record a couple of songs, then
back to Toronto to finish.
-
the
hardest thing about putting Summersault together (which they started to do
in November and finished a week before it was announced) wasn't getting the
bands on the bill, as much as putting together the program guide (Raine
called it a pain in the ass). They worked really hard to make it more
"personal for the fans".
-
The
two new songs that they played at Summersault were called "Life"
and "Everyone's a Junkie"
-
when
Billy Corgan was interviewed they asked why OLP let them go last and he
jokingly said "because OLP were afraid to". Raine just said
it was fitting because "it really is the end, this will be the
last time for people to see them live."
-
they
mentioned that Duncan and Jamie were running around in Kiss wigs to tribute
Kiss on the Village Stage
Gonna
Meet a Rock Star
A
lucky fan got to hang with the guys in Edmonton after winning
MuchMusic's Gonna Meet A Rock Star contest. The unique show gives music
heads a chance to spend a day with the rock star of their choice.
The winner chilled out with Jeremy on site at the second
Summersault 2000 stop.
Check this puppy out for yourself on Much at 10:00 p.m. ET on Wednesday, August
16 and 8:00 p.m. ET on Friday, August 18. Thanks to OLP.com

Although
we linked to this
news
on allstar on August 7th. It seems a few people missed it. So we
have copied the article here. Thanks to Seth for pointing this
out:
Our Lady Peace
told allstar that the band is eyeing the year's end for its next
release. "We hope to get [a new album] out by early next year," said
drummer Jeremy Taggart. "We just keep making records. We're just
looking at more like we'll make a record when we feel like making it. I think
it'd be great if we could make a record every year or every year-and-a-half.
If we feel like not making a record for two years that's cool too, but right
now we just feel like, keep it going. When you have that creative outlet ...
our work ethic is pretty strong, so we like to just keep moving." The
group plans to head back into the same Toronto studio with long-time producer Arnold
Lanni after its Summersault 2000 tour with the Smashing Pumpkins, Deftones,
Foo Fighters, Eve 6, and others wraps up Aug. 16.

Lately,
OLP has been bad -mouthed by a lot of
Canadian acts. The most recent bashing occurred last night on Muchmusic
when Ed the Sock questioned Hugh Dillon, of the Headstones, about his chronic
heroin use. As Hugh persisted to discuss the evils of his own drug use, he
stopped and expressed how he didn't want to keep talking about himself. Ed
replied "It could be worse, I could be talking to Our Lady Peace!"
Hugh smiled, and laughed and said "Hey I didn't say it" and nodded in
what seemed to be agreement. Then Hugh added "I won't say
anything except, I love Matt Good!" Ed and Hugh then proceeded to mock
Raine on national television by going through a whiny chorus of "Superman's
Dead". Then they went into a Headstones video and a commercial.
Thanks to xmikex on the CC for the scoop!
In
today's Edmonton Sun, Mike Ross wrote an article about "Handicapping the
Battling Egos." Included was a blurb on the supposed feud between Our
Lady Peace and Matthew Good. Here is what it said:
Our
Lady Peace vs. Matthew Good: Good says OLP is "put together." OLP
responds (before the fact) by organizing a rock festival and not inviting Good.
Winner: OLP, 100-1. Singer Raine Maida has a black belt in karate. Check

whole story!

"Talking

comments made by Matt Good slamming OLP and a few more Canadians! Sounds
like jealousy, or a poor attempt to gain attention. Drop by Canoe.ca

Thief.

Unfortunately,
OLP will not be on Top

We
usually try and avoid news on OLP's personal lives, but felt this news found on
Chantal's site relates to Summersault and the joining of two creative musicians
for a movie score:
Question:
How is Raine? will you be with him at anytime during his summersault tour?
have you ever considered working on something together?
Kreviazuk:
If I'm not too busy, I would like to take in some shows. There is such a
wonderful assortment of incredible talent in the lineup, even from a fan
standpoint. We are actually working on something together now for a film. It's
a film called Cleopatra from 1912 that's being restored for the Turner
Classics. He and I are working on the score for it, and that will be airing at
the beginning of August on Turner Classic
Movies.
To
read more about their collaboration together on this film, read
this.
In
related news, we attended a Chantal Kreviazuk show last night in Oakville, and
not only enjoyed Chantal's flawless performance, but were blown away by our
favourite Stunt Musician "Jamie Edwards" stepping in for Chantal and
operating the electronic drums, the keyboards, and the guitars!

had the time or the need to go get it. Due to this, Humble said that he
would like to organize a contest that will allow one lucky Edge listener to give
Jero a driving lesson. The winner would also receive Summersault 2000
tickets and backstage passes to meet the band. Please remember this is
only a possible contest, it may never happen.

Below
we have included an excellent review of "Happiness..." from 101cd.com,
a UK online entertainment store. Thanks to our good friend Rick for the
info.
101cd.com's Opinion: 5 Stars
out of 5
Our Lady Peace are one of Canada more finer exports. Consisting of Raine Maida,
Jeremy Taggart, Duncan Coutts and Mike Turner, this Canadian quartet certainly
understand the term spine chilling - each member bringing their advanced talents
creating a balance of musicianship that UK bands seem to have lost. Every song
on this album is just as strong as the previous. Maida's melancholy lyrics
somehow find their way into your heart, you just can't help but identify with
them. OLP need some kind of recognition in the UK, they are too good to be
ignored.
Did
you miss OLP at the Juno Awards this year ? Well now you can catch
their performance of "Is Anybody Home?" right on the band's
official website. Check it out here.

This
just in from Columbia's Daily Dish newsletter:
Summersault 2000
The
members of Our Lady Peace are pleased to announce that their vision to take the
multi-band festival Summersault on a national tour has been realized. Our
Lady Peace's Summersault 2000 will roll across Canada from Vancouver to Halifax
in August of 2000 bringing together some of OLP's favorite Canadian and
international artists into one giant traveling festival.
The
Smashing Pumpkins, Foo Fighters, A Perfect Circle, The Catherine Wheel, Treble
Charger and Eve 6 will be joining Our Lady Peace on one of this summer's hottest
festival tours. The Summersault experience will feature two stages, a vendor
village, and some very cool surprises.
Summersault
will kick off in Vancouver, British Columbia, at BC Place on August 4. The tour
will continue across Canada hitting Edmonton's Commonwealth Stadium on August 6,
the Saskatchewan Place in Saskatoon on August 7, the Winnipeg Stadium on August
9, Molson Park in Toronto on August 11, Montreal's Parterre, parc Jean-Drapeau
on August 12, the Rideau Carleton Raceway in Ottawa on August 13, and wrap up in
Halifax at Citadel Hill on August 16.
Our
Lady Peace conceived Summersault in 1998 as a traveling multi-artist festival.
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. It's going to be a great day of music."
Fans
are encouraged to log onto the tour's official website at
www.summersault2000.com for more details and information about the festival.

"Each
Year, terminal illness steals the lives of thousands of children, Mina
Kim was one."
This
message can be found on the heart moving "Thief" video that premiered today on
Much Music. The video effectively sets the mood of the song, with the help
of a lot of rain and a soaked OLP.
This
additional info about OLP's new "Thief" video courtesy of Columbia's
Daily Dish: Our Lady Peace has recently shot a video for
"Thief," the 3rd single in Canada from "Happiness Is Not A Fish
That You Can Catch." Raine and Jeremy from OLP will be in the MuchMusic
environment on Tuesday, May 23rd, at 4pm ET to premiere the new video and talk
about their national Summersault festival tour. Thief" is inspired by a young girl
from Waterloo who, while suffering from a terminal disease, showed incredible
courage. She died last year. Directed by the band in conjunction with
cinematographer Micha Dahan, the video for "Thief" was shot in
Toronto. The video features the debut of a Dynamic Rig- Photosonic camera (as
used by NASA), attached to a rapidly revolving arm, that was shooting film off
at the rate of 500 frames per second. This unique filming style is responsible
for the "captured moment" effect that characterizes this clip so
vividly. With such strong feelings about the lyrics of
"Thief," the members of Our Lady Peace conceived this video to be a
pure context of texture and mood for the message of the song.
In
other news, the
following was revealed by Raine and Jeremy during their interview in the
Muchmusic environment today: -
Papa Roach and MG Love are two bands they
would "like" to have on Summersault. Negotiations are still
underway. However, due to their own touring schedules it may not be
possible. -
Summersault is going to be a relaxed collaboration of bands and fans. For
example look for members such as Dave Grohl barbequing and possibly performing
with other acts on the second stage.
There
was a segment on Muchmusic's
Rapid Fax this afternoon. Here is what they had to say:
The
stage line-up has been confirmed for Our Lady Peace's Summersault 2000. Band's
to perform alongside OLP include The Smashing Pumpkins, Foo Fighters, A Perfect
Circle, The Catherine Wheel, Treble Charger and Eve 6. Tickets for Summersault
are $39.50 and go on sale this Saturday May 27 at 10am at all Ticketmaster
outlets, with a random wristband policy in effect.
Summersault tour dates include:
Aug 4 - Vancouver, BC Place

Aug 9 - Winnipeg, Winnipeg Stadium
Aug 11 - Barrie, Molson Park
Aug 12 - Montreal, Parterre Parc Jean-Drapeau

This "News From
the Wire" taken from VH1.com
: "The combination of warm weather and the gathering mold underneath
our computer keyboards is enough to turn our thoughts towards what
we're going to do this summer. The dream would be to travel abroad to one
of the sensational festivals." And one of these festivals happens
to be...
SUMMERSAULT
FESTIVAL
When?
Most of August.
Where?
All over Canada. Our Lady Peace are building out their successful one-off
festival to tour the country from Halifax to Vancouver.
Who?
Our Lady Peace have already confirmed the participation of Smashing Pumpkins
and the Foo Fighters. So clearly an angry, rocking time is expected. There
will be more bands announced in the next few weeks, which will probably
emulate the star 1998 line-up of Garbage, the Crystal Method, Canadian
power poppers Sloan and Fuel.
Do I Dare?
Well, it's probably cheaper to go to Toronto than fly to Denmark.

Watch for the
30th Anniversary of Chart in June. OLP being on the cover of their
most popular cover of all time, will no doubt grab them a spot in this
celebrated issue, even though they were not included in the recent Rapidfax:
"To
celebrate their 10th anniversary, Chart Magazine held a photo shoot on
Saturday with 10 of the most important musicians in Canada. It was a rare
historic moment to capture artists such as Matthew Good, Edwin, David Usher,
Jeff Martin, Choclair and Maestro in one room. They'll all be featured
on the cover of the June edition of Chart Magazine. Our cameras were there
for the shoot."

Attention fans
who were planning to see OLP in Jacksonville or Huntsville! These shows
have been cancelled due to Raine having strep throat and an ear infection.
According to Denied on the CC, here is an apology from Mike that was posted
on one of the Newsgroups.
Hi there;
Sorry about the cancellation in Fla.we were really excited to play in West
Palm, but we were making a video the previous day in Toronto. It involved
our spending most of the day soaking wet on a rooftop in a chilly breeze.
at about 2:30 a.m the night after the shoot I got a call informing me that
Raine has a fever a raw throat and pain in one ear...an ear infection anda
sore throat, no way a plane fllight was a good idea, ear damage is a possibility
when the ear can't equalize. We are waiting to see how Raine is today to
see what happens to the rest of the upcoming shows.
Sorry again,
Mike Turner
