Listening to them on CBC (man, Jian is such a douche - like repeating everything the band members say... we understand them Jian, just like you do. They're speaking English.. anyway) now. For a listen, above is their album for download via torrent.

Formed in 1998, the group consists of vocalist and guitarist Louis-Jean Cormier, keyboardist François Lafontaine, bass guitarist Martin Lamontagne, percussionist Julien Sagot and drummer Stéphane Bergeron. The band's name is a phonetic rendering of carquois (French for a quiver of arrows).

This is their fourth album, mostly acoustic. Good, but I would have gone with the Sadies.

Milan on the Agenda tonight!

My buddy Milan will be on TVO's the Agenda tonight @8pm (replay at 11). The topic is Kosovo's declaration of independence & Quebec.

Milan Markovic: Is Unilateral Independence Legal? | Big Tent Politics

Why an international court decision on Kosovo's declaration of independence could nullify the Clarity Act and permit a unilateral declaration of independence by Quebec. And: Federal Liberal Leader Michael Ignatieff recently asked Canadians to come back to the "Big Red Tent", but are big tent politics still possible, or is Canada looking for new ways to build majorities?
