  • Condolence Motion Final Billy Bryans.Docx
    CONDOLENCE MOTION Moved by: Councillor Pam McConnell Seconded by: Councillor Adam Vaughan The Mayor and Members of Toronto City Council are deeply saddened to learn of the passing of Billy Bryans on April 23, 2012. A pioneer of cross-cultural music in Toronto, Billy Bryans was a drummer and producer best known as the co-founder of the politically inflected pop-group The Parachute Club, renowned for its anthemic 1983 hit Rise Up. Billy got his start in Montreal in the 1960s, in a Beatles influenced boy band MG and the Escorts. Billy made his musical breakthrough in Toronto in the 1970s, producing and drumming for jazz and blues bands like Horn, Downchild Blues Band, the Cameo Blues Band, and the Original Sloth Band. Billy became a fixture in Toronto's burgeoning indie music scene in the 1980s, performing at The Cameron, the Horsehoe, Grossmans, the Cabana Room, the El Mocambo, and The Bamboo Club. Billy moved seamlessly among musical genres, including punk, new wave, funk, calypso, latin, reggae, and rock, providing the backbeat for groups such as The Government, The Time Twins, and The BopCats. Performing with Mama Quilla II, he met lead singer, feminist icon, and activist Lorraine Segato. Together in the bands V, Compass, and the Parachute Club, they championed a hybrid sound that cut across gender and race, providing an expansive and enticing soundtrack for a multicultural city finding its voice. During his career, Billy collected four Junos as a performer or producer for such artists as the Afronubians, the Puente Brothers, Buffy Ste Marie, Raffi, George Fox, Alex Cuba, Punjabi by Nature, Morgan Davis, and Laura Fernandez.

  • Matthew Capel Thesis 18 September 2007
    'Damned If They Do And Damned If They Don't': The Inferiority Complex, Nationalism, and Maclean's Music Coverage, 1967-1995 By Gordon Matthew Donald Capel A thesis presented to the University of Waterloo in fulfilment of the thesis requirement for the degree of Master of Arts in History Waterloo, Ontario, Canada, 2007 © Gordon Matthew Donald Capel 2007 Author's Declaration I hereby declare that I am the sole author of this thesis. This is a true copy of the thesis, including any required final revisions, as required by my examiners. I understand that my thesis may be made electronically available to the public. ii Abstract This thesis critically analyses music coverage in Maclean’s between 1967-1995, and reveals that the magazine continually stressed Canadian music as inferior to that produced by foreign artists. Only during times of intense nationalism were Canadian musicians positively received in its pages. More generally, domestic productions were seen as deficient. The historical components of this investigation reveal an essential irony in the perception of Canadian music during the last four decades of the 20th century. Despite nationalist rhetorics and Maclean's self-appointed title of "Canada's National Newsmagazine," its critics consistently emphasised that Canadian music was of poor quality in the 1967-1995 period. iii Acknowledgements I would like to express my gratitude to all those wonderful people who helped me complete this thesis. First, I must applaud my thesis advisor P. Whitney Lackenbauer for his motivation, discerning eye, and willingness to tell me when something wasn't history. For this confused, stubborn, and excitable grad student, your support cannot be overstated.

It traces their life trajectories and examines such themes as the coming out process as it related to family, religion, and other life events; the cultural and political environment that influenced them; their involvement in various forms of lesbian feminist political activism; their varied professional contributions, and their reflections on the future of “the lesbian” as an embodied gendered, sexual, and political identity. In documenting their narratives, my aim is to add their voices and their experiences of struggle, survival, and accomplishment to the Canadian historical canon.
