urArtistnetwork: How is The Love Machine preping for this year’s Canadian Music Week?
Jordan: We’ve been jamming a lot. I’ve been working with a lot of new sounds. We might try to mix it up at the showcase itself. We’ve been thinking about lights and other elements – make it that much more of a party! We haven’t figured out our set list yet. Generally we jam out a few things and see what feels right. We don’t have anything set in stone for the set yet. It should be fun. We’re planning to do a few surprises too! We’ve really come a long way since five years ago. We’re a lot more open as musicians and friends and that have definitely reflected on our music. Another difference is that we all sing a lot more. We’ve always tried to use vocals to our advantage but we’ve never had a lead singer in mind. We do what works with the music. Our overall goal is to get to a point where we get to play for more people, and more frequently. We’re trying to hone our craft and share it with as many people as possible. We’re heading in the right direction by writing a lot more – running on with music – it’s great!
urArtistnetwork: What’s in store for The Love Machine in 2011? What do your fans have to look forward to?
Jordan: We want to do a lot more touring. We want to head out east like we did last November. Our fans out there have been really good to us. We also eventually would like to head out west. We have a few video ideas that we want to release within the next year too. Working on a lot of, kinda not your standard release of things. For example, we’re working on different segments that we want to launch within the next year. Improve our online presence through Facebook and Twitter. We want to give our fans more insight to what we’re doing – keep everyone on the same page. We’re also going to work really hard on doing more live broadcasts; like Ustream. We did it last time we played in Toronto and it was really cool! It was fantastic to be interactive with everyone at once. People were communicating with us by typing questions and comments about the performance. It felt really cool to be live. Even if you’re not physically at the show you can still be a part of it.
urArtistnetwork: Technologies advances are definitely changing the way we approach and appreciate music.
Jordan: For sure! It’s all about how you can use it to your advantage and work with it as it evolves. Everyone should come check out our showcase at CMW – it should be really good. I’m excited just to be a part of it. It’s going to be fun! I think it’s a great time to see bands that you don’t normally get to see and I definitely want to get out there to check out some music myself – nothing in particular but I know its going to be a fun time an I’m really excited! Get excited!

Think of this as your belated Valentine’s day gift from your favourite guys of The Love Machine. This download is SOOO much better than that creepy “Be Mine” stuffed bear your Mom gave you.
This hot new track is called Width Eyes from their debut album ‘Sweater Weather’ and truly captures all that is amazing about The Love Machine and will leave you in a feel-good, screw you Valentines Day kind of mood. So have a listen and burn all those old love letters or just prepare for spring right around the corner.

Because, when it comes down to it, there’s no way The Love Machine-circa-2005 could’ve made an album as good as Sweater Weather…. It makes for a thrilling listen, and I’ve no doubt that, at long last, Sweater Weather will serve as a convincing document of The Love Machine’s greatness even for those people who haven’t seen them in concert. “iHEARTmusic, 2010
What images come to mind when you hear the name The Love Machine? If those images don’t include a road tested band known for their exciting live shows, fan sing-a-longs and three part harmonies then shame on you. Seriously though, if you are like most people you can be expected to make the leap toward the gutter. These Ottawa natives first burst onto the local music scene with their self titled disc in 2005 and have since made a name for themselves with a live show that can only best be described as a “party with friends”. With over 200 shows under their belt including slots at Canadian Music Week, NXNE, Pop Montreal, Halifax Pop and Ottawa Bluesfest they have learned their craft well and deliver a solid showing each and every time they play. Sweater Weather (45 Records) was produced by Jonathan Chandler (Amos The Transparent) and marks the bands third release showcasing their evolved sound. Die hard fans should not be worried as this is not a departure but a maturing of the sound they have developed over the last five years of touring. The Love machine have one simple message for their fans, current and future……Love Is On Your Side!
