Presenter: The Kentucky Center & Production Simple Program Information: She was born Leslie Feist in Calgary in the mid-'70s but goes by her surname when it comes to making music for a living. Feist got her start playing in a high school punk band called Placebo (not to be confused with the U.K. modern rock act of the same name). After winning a battle of the bands contest, Placebo played their first gig opening for the Ramones, and for the next five years, Feist perfected her rock ways. In 1999, Feist was playing guitar for By Divine Right. She went on to play in front of countless stadium crowds as By Divine Right opened for the Tragically Hip across North America. Somewhere in between touring with some of Canada's biggest acts, Feist found time to record and self-released her first solo album, 1999's Monarch (Lay Down Your Jeweled Head). Feist later joined Broken Social Scene in the recording of their sophomore effort, You Forgot It in People. The album, which was released in 2002, became a critical success among the indie crowds after winning a Juno Award for Alternative Album of the Year in 2003. Feist had already had plans for a second solo album by this time. Let It Die was released on Arts & Crafts in May 2004. Feist has also contributed vocals to works by Kings of Convenience, Apostle of Hustle, and Jane Birkin. In 2006 she released Open Season, a collection of remixes, collaborations, and other songs and began work on her next full-length release. Recorded and assembled in one week in a rented house near Paris, The Reminder hit shelves in the spring of 2007. Opening Act: Jason Collett Most singer/songwriters are lonely souls with only a stool, an acoustic guitar and a heart-worn sleeve. Not Jason Collett. Oh sure, the Broken Social Scene guitarist has his instrument and a stack of intimate tales to tell—but his new solo album, Idols of Exile, sounds more like a house party. Since 2001, Collett has been considered the indispensable lynchpin of Toronto’s booming indie scene, thanks largely to his casual (and still occasional) star-studded songwriting night known as Radio Mondays. Of course, most of these tunesmiths—such as Hayden, Kathleen Edwards, Weakerthans and most of the Arts & Crafts family—weren’t stars yet. But Collett’s beloved community-building series solidified the Toronto indie movement that would soon take off worldwide and connected Collett with his future social scene.
