The Beer Pick of the Week: March 24, 2007


From time to time, I will be doing a piece on this blog selecting a band each week (or whenever I have time to do so). I select an artist that I believe is the "Beer Pick of the Week".

This week's pick is Montreal group Lesley Lane.

Lesley Lane is not the name of a person, but a group itself. The group features The Dears' guitarist Patrick Krief, Sam Roberts Band's drummer Billy Anthopoulos, and lead singer Paul Edwards, who has performed and produced such artists as Joel Plaskett and The Stills.

I chose this Montreal based group because their music is catchy, easy on the ear, and very reminiscent of such artists as Sam Roberts, Matt Mays. The music is a lighter style of rock, but not too light. Their music becomes addicting as soon you hear their music for the first time.

Their currently-most-famous track Never Say Goodbye is a song that I believe should deserve "hit" status, even on the R3-30. It's a song I can listen to over and over and not get tired of, and is the type of song that I can picture myself nodding my head to while driving down a lone prairie highway in an early evening in the summer.

As usual, check out this band. There's something about Montreal music right now, they have some of the best musicians at the moment, including Roberts and Arcade Fire, must be something in the Unibroue beer! kidding.
