hi there, pretty friendly-face. there's this thing coming up on MTV called "Mainstream vs Underground". (i too had to use a dictionary to figure out where those words came from???) They're looking for underground Canadian bands to "discover" and invite them to play on the show... LIVE! yeah. i wouldn't mind that opportunity at all, actually! and you can help!!! just email feedback@mtv.ca. tell 'em who i am, and ask them to go have a listen my music on this myspace page. The more people that email them, the better chance i have. anyway. could be a pretty swell opportunity. i'd like to go for it. so if you'd take a moment or two to help out, that would be delightful! thanks so much. you're my friendship. i'm david martel
article in BANG BANG hi friends. woah... there's an article about me in the current issue of BANG BANG (free montreal francophone music zine) in the RADAR 2008 section.... yaay! Photobucket here's the english translation: With a similar name, one could expect someone with a future audition for Star Academy, ready to attack the commercial radio stations with prefabricated music. But this is far from the case. Rather, we have a young Anglophone man, singer of the Montreal band onlyforward, who is embarking a solo adventure with his folk sound. And the result is more than interesting. We only have to listen to his song "Cancel All Your Plans", which would have fit perfectly into the original soundtrack for the film ONCE, to be convinced (moreover, the live version of this song, which can be heard on his MySpace page, will be saved for the album as the intensity of that night at Yellow Door was unique). But behind this music is definitely a character. David Martel seems to have come straight out of a box of surprises, always ready to do an impersonation, throw out a sarcastic comment, or to amuse those around him. As soon as you meet him, you want to know more, convinced that the time spent in his company will be extremely pleasant. His first album I Hardly Knew Me, recorded at DNA Studios, will be release in May on the Toronto-based label Kindling Music, but it will be available on iTunes in March. After that, show after show, tour after tour, more solo than with his band, all across Canada. Its worth it to note that David Martel is also a chef at Lola Rosa Café where he organizes Dinner and a Show evenings, taking care of everything from A to Z, from the preparations of vegetarian meals, to table service and right through to the show at the end of the night. In short, a man to be married.
