A great deal and a great show are good ways to start the weekend, and it’s only $5 to see L.A. post-punk band Corners play House of Targ on Thursday.
The morose pop band is obviously, and literally, influenced by the seminal Joy Division, but Corners songs vary, made intriguing by lighter and heavier touches of incongruous surf rock sounds — perhaps impossible to escape growing up in California.
Royal Canoe
Corners is currently finishing their follow-up album to Maxed Out On Distractions, which they say is more adventurous but yet “less intense” than anything they’ve done before, citing the Clash’s London Calling as an inspiration, with release date sometime in 2017. Expect them to be testing out some of their new songs on this tour. May 5, with Final Fall, DJ Daisy, 10 p.m., House of Targ. $5. www.houseoftarg.com
On the same night, Winnipeg’s quirky indie pop band Royal Canoe are also going to be playing new songs off an upcoming album (release date yet decided), that member Matt Peters describes as an examination of maintaining relationships, not unexpected after a long time spent touring since the release of their popular 2014 album, Today We’re Believers. Also expect “thuddier rhythms of hip-hop and a tighter nod to futuristic R&B” from the band that stays on the right side of the too-arty line by keeping their songs very funky, and not going too heavy with their sound experiments. May 5, with Hannah Epperson, High Waters, 8 p.m., Ritual,. $12. spectrasonic.com
On Friday, two Canadian songwriters are on stage in very different set ups. Pop-folk, singer-songwriter Royal Wood is at the NAC with his new, introspective album, Ghost Light, with help from his friend and Juno Award-winning songwriter Rose Cousins, and the subtle help of the National Arts Centre Orchestra. May 6, 8 p.m., National Arts Centre. From $35. nac-cna.ca
Meanwhile, singer-songwriter Danny Michel performs an all-ages, solo set at St. Alban’s Church, with his new album, Matadora, written in response to turbulent times, while using familiar sounds — from the Caribbean to such icons as Bowie. It is not the typical protest album, but a set of songs that give hope while galvanizing people to be part of the change, somehow without being preachy: “Are you too cool for love?”, he asks. May 6, 8 p.m., 454 King Edward Ave. $22.50. spectrasonic.com
Also Friday, the large-in-number and with appropriate-sized exuberance, the Lemon Bucket Orkestra is playing a Korchma, or Ukrainian pub night, as the launch party for the Ukrainian Festival to be held later this summer. There will be traditional music, sometimes played on incongruous instruments but with the punk spirit we have come to find commonplace from certain Celtic-informed bands; this time, enjoy the party-vibe with perogies and Zirkova vodka, instead of stew and Guinness. Only those 19 years or over will be admitted to this event, unlike the festival. May 6, with Zapovid, 8 p.m., Ukrainian Banquet Hall, 1000 Byron Ave. $35 in advance, $40 at the door.
For those still looking for more dance options, DJ Emmett, who used to spin at Babylon’s Mod Club, is returning to Zaphod Beeblebrox with a new weekly show, Another planet, playing “cool modern, popular music with a little more substance.” Don’t expect the same chart-topping stuff found at other clubs, but do come wearing dancing shoes. Opening night will begin an hour early at 10 p.m., with cover of $3 starting at 11 p.m. May 6, Zaphod’s. $3 after 11 p.m. zaphods.ca
Continuing the dance theme into Saturday, here are three options:
Jane’s Party play LIVE on Elgin.
The cute lads in Jane’s Party are touring ahead of the release of their third studio album, Tunnel Visions, due out May 13. The Toronto-based band has pulled in some heavy-hitting help, not least Blue Rodeo’s Jim Cuddy on backing vocals on their song Coming on Strong, co-written with The Darcys. (The album was recorded at Greg Keelor’s studio). There is also a parade of names to be seen in the karaoke-esque video for the song (scroll down to watch it).
That said, the 10 songs on the album are unadulterated, earworm-worthy pop, just lacking some of the forwardness and edge that make a song timeless. However, don’t let us deter you from their party, because they are determined to have one, it will just be one with un-ironic popped collars. May 7, with Monday I Retire, 10 p.m., LIVE on Elgin. $10 in advance, $12 at the door. www.liveonelgin.com
To take the party to a different level, comes Edmonton’s The Wet Secrets, a tight group of six musicians who are favourites in their home town, and describe themselves as a ‘pep’ band. They are horn-heavy, playing something close to brit-pop with a touch of California sound, 60s cheesy organs to late disco beats — with a ton of infectious energy and a soupçon of irony — over some very forward and engaging drumming. This is the soundtrack for a night of staying up all night and getting into (just a bit of) trouble.
The band took a break for some other projects before releasing their 2014 album — you may remember founder Lyle Bell with nu-punk/dance group Shout Out Out Out Out Out. Thankfully, there will not be another break, as they are about to release another album, The Tyranny of Objects, some time this year. May 7, 8 p.m., Zaphod’s. $8 at the door. spectrasonic.com
Then there’s old school electro dance to be had as Danish/Norwegian duo Pegboard Nerds play Barrymore’s. (Their geeky cred was a sort-of accident, as it is an anagram of their names, Alexander Odden and Michael Parsberg.) This is not dystopic sounds we’ve heard a lot of recently in EDM circles, but the frothy stuff of fun and youthful vigour, with a retro touch. May 7, 10 p.m., Barrymore’s. $18-$20. http://bit.ly/1TrgQAj
Blues harmonica player extraordinaire Carlos Del Junco is making two stops in the area this week with the Blues Mongrels, so named because the music they create, with the harmonica out front, crosses the line between blues and jazz simultaneously. The award-winning musician starts at the NAC Fourth Stage on May 7, then is in Manotick on May 8. May 7, 7:30 p.m., NAC, $35. nac-cna.ca; May 8, 7:30 p.m., St. James Anglican Church, Manotick. $25. 613-692-2900.
And let us not forget the three big-name acts on this week: 90s grunge-lite rock band Pearl Jam are at the Canadian Tire Centre just in time for Mother’s Day (May 8, $87.50), and rock classic George Thorogood is back with The Destroyers to play all the favourites (May 9, NAC). Then, the week ends with a visit from Ontario’s own pop icon, Justin Bieber, playing the Canadian Tire Centre on Friday the 13th, about a week ahead of his on-again, off-again partner Selena Gomez (May 13, 7:30 p.m., $57.10-$146.10).

The morose pop band is obviously, and literally, influenced by the seminal Joy Division, but Corners songs vary, made intriguing by lighter and heavier touches of incongruous surf rock sounds — perhaps impossible to escape growing up in California.
Royal Canoe
Corners is currently finishing their follow-up album to Maxed Out On Distractions, which they say is more adventurous but yet “less intense” than anything they’ve done before, citing the Clash’s London Calling as an inspiration, with release date sometime in 2017.

May 5, with Hannah Epperson, High Waters, 8 p.m., Ritual,. $12. spectrasonic.com
On Friday, two Canadian songwriters are on stage in very different set ups. Pop-folk, singer-songwriter Royal Wood is at the NAC with his new, introspective album, Ghost Light, with help from his friend and Juno Award-winning songwriter Rose Cousins, and the subtle help of the National Arts Centre Orchestra.

Continuing the dance theme into Saturday, here are three options:
Jane’s Party play LIVE on Elgin.
The cute lads in Jane’s Party are touring ahead of the release of their third studio album, Tunnel Visions, due out May 13. The Toronto-based band has pulled in some heavy-hitting help, not least Blue Rodeo’s Jim Cuddy on backing vocals on their song Coming on Strong, co-written with The Darcys. (The album was recorded at Greg Keelor’s studio). There is also a parade of names to be seen in the karaoke-esque video for the song (scroll down to watch it).
That said, the 10 songs on the album are unadulterated, earworm-worthy pop, just lacking some of the forwardness and edge that make a song timeless. However, don’t let us deter you from their party, because they are determined to have one, it will just be one with un-ironic popped collars. May 7, with Monday I Retire, 10 p.m., LIVE on Elgin. $10 in advance, $12 at the door. www.liveonelgin.com
To take the party to a different level, comes Edmonton’s The Wet Secrets, a tight group of six musicians who are favourites in their home town, and describe themselves as a ‘pep’ band. They are horn-heavy, playing something close to brit-pop with a touch of California sound, 60s cheesy organs to late disco beats — with a ton of infectious energy and a soupçon of irony — over some very forward and engaging drumming.

Thankfully, there will not be another break, as they are about to release another album, The Tyranny of Objects, some time this year. May 7, 8 p.m., Zaphod’s. $8 at the door. spectrasonic.com
Then there’s old school electro dance to be had as Danish/Norwegian duo Pegboard Nerds play Barrymore’s. (Their geeky cred was a sort-of accident, as it is an anagram of their names, Alexander Odden and Michael Parsberg.) This is not dystopic sounds we’ve heard a lot of recently in EDM circles, but the frothy stuff of fun and youthful vigour, with a retro touch.

Blues harmonica player extraordinaire Carlos Del Junco is making two stops in the area this week with the Blues Mongrels, so named because the music they create, with the harmonica out front, crosses the line between blues and jazz simultaneously.

And let us not forget the three big-name acts on this week: 90s grunge-lite rock band Pearl Jam are at the Canadian Tire Centre just in time for Mother’s Day (May 8, $87.50), and rock classic George Thorogood is back with The Destroyers to play all the favourites (May 9, NAC). Then, the week ends with a visit from Ontario’s own pop icon, Justin Bieber, playing the Canadian Tire Centre on Friday the 13th, about a week ahead of his on-again, off-again partner Selena Gomez (May 13, 7:30 p.m., $57.10-$146.10).
