The Halifax-based rock stars hangs out with Mamma Yamma
Joel Plaskett’s been one of our favourite performers going on 10 years now and when he pulls stunts like this, we can ‘t help but love him even more. Here, he’s hanging out with Mamma Yamma, getting her ready for a photo shoot and extolling the virtues of playing dress-up via a retooling of his hit, “Fashionable People.” Awesome.

Stars singer-guitarist Amy Millan and bassist Evan Cranley talk about being new parents and Amy’s first Mother’s Day
On March 21 of this year, Amy and Evan welcomed Delphine Cranley to their family and the world. We asked them about this new parenthood venture they’ve got going and what thoughts it’s inspired.
Do you think Mother’s Day has lost its meaning?
Amy Millan: Mother’s Day should become more like Woman’s Day and less like Valentine’s Day. It (should) become a day that is about awareness and protest and charity. In terms of your own mother, you have no idea — no idea — how much love and sacrifice and work your mother did for you until you have your own kid. So your mother should get respect and phone calls and flowers all year round. It should not be designated to one day, ever.
We talked to the girls from I Eat Kids to see what it takes to be a rockstar before you’re even old enough to get in the club
Roll call. I Eat Kids are:
Zoe Abernethy — guitar, drums, bass and piano
Edi Abernethy — bass and drums
Georgia Harmer — drums, guitar and piano
Jessa Harmer — tambourine and piano
Sadie Narowski Vesely — guitar, drums and piano
Oliver Narowski Vesely — tambourine and bass
Everyone sings.
Georgia, Sadie and Zoe answered a few questions for us on how I Eat Kids came to be:
Why did you want to start a band?
Originally, when we were 5 and 6, we started a band because we wanted to become famous rock stars. As we got more into it, we kept at it because we love playing as a band and performing together.
