  • Statement from CIMA on Changes to LMO Process for Temporary
    August 29, 2013 The Hon. Jason Kenney Minister of Employment and Social Development Human Resources and Skills Development Canada Office of the Minister of ESDC 140 Promenade du Portage Gatineau, Quebec K1A 0J9 The Hon. Chris Alexander Minister of Citizenship and Immigration Department of Citizenship and Immigration Canada 365 Laurier Avenue West Ottawa, Ontario K1A 1L1 Dear Ministers: On behalf of the Canadian Independent Music Association (CIMA), I would like to draw your attention to a matter of utmost importance to the Canadian music industry. Specifically, I am referring to recent regulatory changes made to the Temporary Foreign Worker Program, and in particular to how those changes will now impact the domestic music industry. This is a matter of some urgency and importance, as it has both a direct and indirect effect on the entire ecosystem of the Canadian-owned industry – a community of small businesses from coast to coast to coast. In a nutshell, the changes to the regulations will significantly increase costs for Canadian booking agents, promoters, managers or those venues who book international artists to perform in bars and restaurants across Canada. This new, non-refundable fee of $275 per musician and those travelling with the band to get a Labour Market Opinion (LMO) will do tremendous harm to the domestic music industry. We are confident that this impact is an unintended consequence of your government’s recent changes to the Temporary Foreign Worker Program, but it is one that will lead to a loss of jobs and a loss of economic opportunity (domestically and internationally) for the broader Canadian music industry.

  • TOKYO POLICE CLUB David Monks - Vocals, Bass Josh Hook - Guitar Graham Wright - Keyboards Greg Alsop – Drums
    TOKYO POLICE CLUB David Monks - Vocals, Bass Josh Hook - Guitar Graham Wright - Keyboards Greg Alsop – Drums For a band that burst on the scene with an ecstatically received 16 minutes of music (2006's A Lesson In Crime EP) followed in rapid fire succession by additional EPs and singles (Smith, “Your English Is Good”) and a debut album (2008’s Elephant Shell) all in under two years time, you’d think 26 months between albums would be an interminable wait. And it might well have been for Tokyo Police Club, had they not toured relentlessly in support of that first album through August of 2009 — and started writing new songs virtually the second their previous record was put to bed. So the nine month gap between the close of that tour and the June 8 release of Champ, Tokyo Police Club’s second full length album and first for the mom+pop label, has been anything but boring or unproductive. Quite the opposite in fact: The Newmarket Ontario quartet ended up happily immersing itself more fully in its craft than ever: Greg Alsop (drums), Josh Hook (guitar), David Monks (vocals, bass) and Graham Wright (keys/percussion) challenged and redefined their songwriting and performing chops and techniques from day one of pre-production, and, together with producer Rob Schnapf (Beck, Elliott Smith), ultimately created the defining record of their career to date. By the band’s account, not a second was wasted in getting to the genesis of the material that would become Champ. “Naturally we started writing really early,” Monks recalls, particularly in the case of “Breakneck Speed,” the first peek at Champ that the band would eventually stream at http://tokyopoliceclub.com/.
