]]> There have been words exchanged…it’s a healthy little battle.

The feud between Woodhands and Danko Jones began during Canadian Music Week back in March.   The so called spark was Jones saying (in a round about way) that Woodhands popularity is through a journalistic fad – with 12 piece bands and 2 piece electro acts being the current focus – and Woodhands is simply benefiting from the fad.

Woodhand’s reply, “Danko, why you gotta hate on us? Why you gotta hate on us? Danko Jones, where’s the love?“

]]> What you need to know:

Equipped with a keytar, boy and girl vocals, and live pounding drums, Woodhands is dirty electronic pop music. They are interested in emotional, sweaty dance floors and making you dance til you have sex or cry.

Woodhands started in a basement in Montreal, moved to Europe, and is now making love to Toronto and its environs.

Where you’ll find them during CMW: Drake Underground

When: FRIDAY March 7th, 2008 @ 12:45 AM
