Tovo,
Definitely check them out! I like their albums Electric Version and Twin Cinema. Neko Case is well known as a solo artist, but she sings for them both as a lead and backup singer.

Here's a great 80's Hair Band that was HUGE in Canada- Honeymoon Suite.
'New Girl Now' (you gotta love a video that has a Delorean in it!!
'Wave Babies' (worth a watch, lads)
** My buddy Matt (the guitar teacher in my contest entry) actually jammed with these guys at a party in a hotel room way back when. Would have been cool!!

Yann Perreau is a young francophone singer/songwriter that is breaking out big in Quebec.
The song in this video is "Le bruit des bottes", translatable to "The Sound (or noise) of Boots". It's theme is the military indoctrination of the masses.
It includes a guest appearance by an intelligent rapper-type group, "Loco Locas".
An enthralling performance, must be heard at loudest possible volume

Aside from Joni Mitchell, Ian & Sylvia were my favorite Canadian act. Back in the early '60s there wasn't a folk guitarist alive who wasn't playing "Four Strong Winds."
