CTV.ca – Junos 2006
CTV.ca – Junos 2006 Hipeponymous has been nominated for 2 Juno’s this year: CD/DVD Artwork Design Of The Year and Music DVD Of The Year. I think that they have a solid chance of winning for Music DVD of the Year, but I’m not as confident for the Artwork Design.

Louise Upperton – Broken Social Scene
Rob Baker – Hipeponymous

The CD/DVD Artwork Design Of The Year has a lot of interesting Hip connections. Seth is the writer of a book called “It’s A Good Life If You Don’t Weaken”.
Christopher Mills is nominated with Louise Upperton for the BSS album. He also created all of the visuals for The Hip’s last tour, and the vignettes on Hipeponymous.

Feature Artist – Staggered Crossing
After a decade of playing bone crashing, innovative rock ‘n roll, the verdict is in. Toronto’s Staggered Crossing is an E! True Canadian success story. They’ve toured Canada on seven separate occasions, playing with the likes of Nickleback, The Guess Who, and Midnight Oil. Their fans all agree that Staggered Crossing’s high energy live show is the band’s trademark.
Narrowly missing obscurity, Staggered Crossing is back in a big way with the indie release of their third studio album, Burgundy and Blue. The album weighs in with the best of what Canada has to offer.
Staggered Crossing, was formed in 1996 by Julian Taylor (vocals & guitar), Dan Black (Bass), David Marshall (Guitar), and Jeremy Elliott (Drums). The quartet has been friends and band mates since their high school days growing up in Toronto.

News from The Hip:
It’s a new year and we have some news for you!
We are currently in the process of recording a new studio album with producer Bob Rock. Once completed, we will be out on the road performing select shows in Canada, the USA and Europe this year. Be sure to check back with us online at www.thehip.com and look for more emails from us, keeping you absolutely up-to-date with the latest announcements and details.
If you haven’t already visited the new website please do so and register today. There are plenty of new features and content to keep you surfing for hours including a streaming media player, photo album, videos, news and The Hip Story Project – an interactive feature that gives you the opportunity to add your own content to the site.
We are also very excited to tell you about the development of our first ever paid members-only fan site, aptly named, The Hip Club (THC). This is not to be confused with the now defunct Hip Club that ran back in 2002. THC will be the ultimate place for everything Hip. With the paid membership, you will get front-of-the-line opportunities for concert tickets, special audio and visual content, an online and in-depth Q and A with the band, members-only merchandise, and EXCLUSIVE access to “Hip Club Only†special events, shows and other surprises.
To help get us ready, we are doing some long overdue house cleaning, so please take the time to update your user information and preferences to ensure you don’t miss a beat.
Thanks.
