Review of The Hidden Cameras’ Origin: Orphan and giveaway
Norman Wong Even though he coined it himself, I often wonder if Joel Gibb regrets encouraging the use of “gay church folk music” as a description for the music of The Hidden Cameras . Certainly they got a lot of mileage out of it in the band’s earlier days, as it was both ...

The Wooden Sky, Hooded Fang and Brian Borcherdt at Lee’s Palace in Toronto
