Our Lady Peace's Jeremy Taggart Set To Drum For Darfur - Have you ever spoken to a former hippie about the 1960s? It's usually a pretty bad idea; they'll prattle on at length about how sitting around, smoking pot and banging on a darbuka ultimately ended the war, man.
While hitting a drum won't change the world, it will be able to help the less fortunate this Saturday (May 29), as War Child Canada holds its second annual Drummers For Darfur event.
Several big names from the Canadian rock scene are among the many big names to show up, including Our Lady Peace's Jeremy Taggart, who invoked the Woodstock spirit when describing the day.

Our Lady Peace Gains Depth Onstage - MONTREAL - In an interview with The Gazette last week, in the midst of rehearsals for a tour that features complete-album performances, Our Lady Peace frontman Raine Maida said the first half of the band's two-set concert would be "almost like us in the studio recording (our albums) again."
