Moxy Früvous
Moxy Früvous was a Canadian politically satirical folk-pop band from Thornhill, Ontario, Canada. The band was founded in 1989, and was active until 2001. Common themes in Früvous songs include Canada and the "human experience". History The band formed in 1989 when Jian Ghomeshi (then going by Jean Ghomeshi), Murray Foster and Mike Ford, former classmates at the local Thornlea Secondary School and playing in a pub band called The Chia Pets at the time, joined with David Matheson to busk in Toronto. They drew crowds, and, eventually, the attention of Toronto-based CBC Radio, which commissioned songs about political and local issues for the radio show ''Later the Same Day.'' Some songs written for the show later appeared on their albums; these songs include "The Gulf War Song" and "My Baby Loves a Bunch of Authors", which was written for a Toronto authors' festival. They cut a six-song demo tape in 1992, and that year performed at the SOCAN Awards celebration. Their first maj ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Folk Music
Folk music is a music genre that includes traditional folk music and the contemporary genre that evolved from the former during the 20th-century folk revival. Some types of folk music may be called world music. Traditional folk music has been defined in several ways: as music transmitted orally, music with unknown composers, music that is played on traditional instruments, music about cultural or national identity, music that changes between generations (folk process), music associated with a people's folklore, or music performed by custom over a long period of time. It has been contrasted with commercial and classical styles. The term originated in the 19th century, but folk music extends beyond that. Starting in the mid-20th century, a new form of popular folk music evolved from traditional folk music. This process and period is called the (second) folk revival and reached a zenith in the 1960s. This form of music is sometimes called contemporary folk music or folk rev ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Wood (Moxy Früvous Album)
''Wood'' is the second studio album by Canadian artists Moxy Früvous, released in 1995. The album was intended to reflect more mature, serious songwriting, in contrast to their prior albums, which had focused more on wit and humor. Critical reception ''Trouser Press'' called the band "a latter-day acoustic America," writing that "the sweet singing and a hint of wit faintly echo ''Bargainville''."

You Will Go To The Moon
''You Will Go To The Moon'' is the third album by the Canadian folk band Moxy Früvous, released in 1997. The title track was inspired by the children's book. "I've Gotta Get A Message To You" is a cover of the Bee Gees song. Critical reception ''Stereo Review'' wrote: "Right from the start, these Canadians show their debt to eclectic pop (read: XTC), and it all sounds a little too calculating and tied up in ribbons. But it's hard to resist the plentiful melodies, harmonies, exotics, and jokes." The ''Toronto Star'' praised the "clever wordsmithery, spot-the-pop-reference tomfoolery, stylistic swings and, of course, close vocal harmonies." Track listing # "Michigan Militia" - 3:18 # "Get In The Car" - 2:36 # "I've Gotta Get A Message To You" (by the Bee Gees The Bee Gees were a musical group formed in 1958 by brothers Barry, Robin, and Maurice Gibb.

A-side And B-side
The A-side and B-side are the two sides of phonograph records and cassettes; these terms have often been printed on the labels of two-sided music recordings. The A-side usually features a recording that its artist, producer, or record company intends to be the initial focus of promotional efforts and radio airplay and hopefully become a hit record. The B-side (or "flip-side") is a secondary recording that typically receives less attention, although some B-sides have been as successful as, or more so than, their A-sides. Use of this language has largely declined in the 21st century as the music industry has transitioned away from analog recordings towards digital formats without physical sides, such as CDs, downloads and streaming. Nevertheless, some artists and labels continue to employ the terms ''A-side'' and ''B-side'' metaphorically to describe the type of content a particular release features, with ''B-side'' sometimes representing a "bonus" track or other material.
