Despite the high heels, Care still makes a quick getaway from a staged bank robbery.

Despite the high heels, Care still makes a quick getaway from the staged bank robbery.

We thought filming Care Failure being interviewed by Dave Bookman and performing at the Edge studios would be pretty straight-forward. With Bruce McDonald at the helm? Never! Our production team arrived to find a plan being hatched to stage a bank robbery in broad daylight on Yonge Street. “Can you talk to the manager and see if we can shoot in the bank?” Uh…..

Artist Announcement: Die Mannequin at CFNY

August 17, 2009

Care Failure stands ready to rock inside the studio at 102.1 The Edge

Say what you will about the musical evolution of CFNY, a.k.a. 1012.1 The Edge, Toronto has been blessed to have an alternative to top 40 on the commercial dial since the late 1970s. (Limp Bizkit era excepted.) Pre-internet in particular, it was an essential way for young fans and musicians alike to hear new bands and new sounds. Care Failure of Die Mannequin is just one of them. We are pleased to announce that she took time out of finishing her band’s new record in L.A. to tell us about what the the Edge means to her — and not just because she’s our first girl. (We’ve got more ladies coming up in the series, just wait!)
