After their awseome performance on Letterman, The Heavy's hit "How You Like Me Now" was featured in a Kia ad during the superbowl!

 

 

The Heavy played their hit single « How You Like Me Now » on The Late Show on January 18th, with the historic stellar horn section from the DAP KINGS.

In the last newsletter we said it would sizzle, and it actually did ! Here is what their tour Manager said about it:

« I cannot express to you all how amazing Letterman went. He made us play the song a second time immediately following the performance. It's the first time in the history of the show he's done this. Everyone was blown away. His crew couldn't believe it and neither could any of us watching it. »

You might recognize the song from the season finale of Entourage as well as from Community, Brothers and Sisters, the trailer for Top Gear, and ITV FA Cup Programming.

This should be the catalyst for a really amazing year... We promise you'll all be blown away.

 

One of the newest additions to the Third Side roster is Tanya Tagaq. ‘Inuit throat singer’ does not begin to describe this extraordinarily creative collaborator who has worked with Bjork, Kronos Quartet, Buck 65 and Mike Patton, to name a few.

One of the most recent projects that Tanya is involved in is the short film "Tungijuq". The film gained interest when it premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival and was awarded the "Best Short Drama" at the Imaginative Film & Media Arts Festival, also in Toronto.

The film (in which she is featured and helped screenwrite), has been recently selected to be presented at the 2010 Sundance Music Festival!

Hotsy-totsy and wildly talented Handsome Furs checked in at #3 on this year’s annual list of I(Heart)Music’s Hottest Bands in Canada! 2009 saw this husband/wife duo releasing their sophomore album Face Control; and after a listen it’s not hard to see why they’ve made such an impact on the Canadian and international scene in a year that saw them tour the globe (no, literally; they toured the globe!)
