Over the holiday’s Ladybird Animal Sanctuary held a benefit to raise money to help at risk animals in the community. The DoneFors’ own Janine Stoll co-founded this not-for-profit organization with her best friends Melissa McClelland and Lisa Winn. This is a video of one of the great performances from the night. Liam, Brian, Janine and Lisa backed up Whitehorse (duo featuring Luke Doucet and Melissa) for the grand finale of the night. Ladybird raised over $2500.

“Parking one street south on Cumberland Avenue, I rumbled through the underground listening to the Donefors’ second record, Award Winning Album, which proved to be a good, sneaky listen. The style of the band suggests high-rent influences – Joni’s early jazz pulls and bits of Prefab Sprout and the Mojave Three – but the core [...]

Award Winning Album The DoneFors (Independent) 3 stars This cheekily-titled disc plays like two dissimilar EPs stuck together. The first half has a jazz feeling, in its rhythms, chord choices and metrical manoeuvres (Bob and Stan takes off in a jumpy 10/8).
