Canadian Club of Houston

Just a little plug to celebrate both a great Canadian Band as well as Canada's premier rock photographer.

Be sure to have a look at Richard Beland Photography on the Tragically Hip's web site. Richard is a good friend from Toronto who is the Hip's official photographer. Many of these prints I've seen up close and the colours are beautiful. The giant collage is particularly amazing - I want it but have nowhere to put it and it rightfully should go to an entirely obsessed fan. Richard has been nominated for Juno awards in the past based on his album photography and design. Canada rocks!

I worked as the rock critic at the Ottawa Citizen in the late 80s and early 90s and got to interview the Hip numerous times, and oddly enough, have seen them play almost as many times since I moved to Texas, and interviewed them again about their efforts to break into the US market. Mainly they have played in Austin, they just haven't played Houston that often. Anybody who was at their last Houston show at a tiny bar in Clear Lake called Scout Bar will tell you it was pretty amazing. Here's a link to a story I wrote about them in the Houston Press a few years back .... I didn't write the headline but I still think it's one of the best ever on a Tragically Hip article: The Gord is my Shepherd

Good article Greg - you got some great lines from Baker. I passed it on to the rock photographer! www.richardbeland.com

He did the Violet Light photos and still has the light bulb! I wonder what that would go for on Ebay?! ha!

Can't wait for the upcoming show...
