Ben Howard
At least one half of the Team Risky Fuel household has identified Ben Howard as totally dreamy night time melancholy beach music, so there was a certain amount of swooning when he played a show recently in Toronto.
That swooning also resulted in a feature interview on Spinner about how his next album is going to be more electric.

The Sadies
Backing band to the stars The Sadies have recorded a song with Neil Young and they’re going on tour with him, too. But the band haven’t really had a chance to actually talk to him or hang out with him yet.
When they do drummer Mike Belitsky knows what he wants to talk to Young about — the San Jose Sharks hockey club.
At least that’s what he told Sarah when she interviewed him.
