MC Abdominal Among Standouts at Canadian Music Week
Mar 11, 2008 5:10 PM
CMW—better known as
Canadian Music Week—just wrapped up its 26th-year event in Toronto, with MC
Abdominal, otherwise known as Andy Bernstein, making one of the biggest
impressions of the seven-day event. Bernstein's old-school hip-hop style deals
with subjects ranging from politics to his love of fast food, influenced by the
likes of De La Soul and A Tribe Called Quest; his next goal is to stray from
the traditional producer-DJ format and introduce some live musicians into his
set as well.
Along with MC Abdominal,
other musicians noted during CMW included CBC Galaxie Rising Star Jenn Grant,
rockers Karkwa, Ottawa band The Acorn and established artists Stars and Joel
Plaskett Emergency. The event features more than 500 showcasing bands each year
at over 40 live music venues in downtown Toronto.
