Joel Plaskett

Plaskett grew up in Lunenburg, a small town on Nova Scotia's South Shore. His father, Bill Plaskett, is also a musician, and was a cofounder of the Lunenburg Folk Harbour Festival.[https://www.theglobeandmail.com/arts/music/joel-plasketts-new-album-is-a-veritable-kitchen-party/article23445724/ "Joel Plaskett's new album is a veritable kitchen party"]. The Globe and Mail, March 13, 2015. Plaskett learned to play guitar and write songs while listening to an eclectic range of music, from singer-songwriters such as Joni Mitchell and Neil Young to rockers such as the Sex Pistols and the Pixies.

Plaskett's family moved to Halifax when he was twelve; by the next year, he had formed his first band with friends Rob Benvie and Ian McGettigan. Initially, they called themselves Nabisco Fonzie. By 1992, they were a foursome called Thrush Hermit, with Michael Catano on drums.{{cite web |url=http://www.nowtoronto.com/music/story.cfm?content=174262 |last=Gillis |first=Carla |title=Thrush Hermit flies again |work=NOW |location=Toronto |date=March 24–31, 2010}}

Plaskett was the lead singer and guitarist for the Halifax-based band Thrush Hermit. Catano was replaced by drummer Cliff Gibb in 1994, the same year the band was signed to Murderecords. After two EPs, the group went on to release its full-length debut on Elektra in 1997--Sweet Homewrecker, which was recorded in Memphis with producer Doug Easley. The album did not do well commercially, and they were dropped by their label. The band would record one more album, Clayton Park, for Sonic Unyon Records, before quitting in 1999.{{cite web |url=http://www.maplemusic.com/artists/thr/bio.asp |title=The story of the band called Thrush Hermit |work=www.maplemusic.com |publisher=MapleMusic Ltd. |location=Toronto, Ontario |access-date=June 27, 2013 |archive-date=July 31, 2013 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130731172803/http://www.maplemusic.com/artists/thr/bio.asp |url-status=dead }}{{cite web|url=http://www.ffwdweekly.com/Issues/2003/1023/mus1.htm |last=Wittchen |first=Tara Lee |title=The East Coast survivor |work=www.ffwdweekly.com |publisher=Fast Forward Weekly |location=Calgary, Alberta |date=October 23, 2003 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070807051321/http://www.ffwdweekly.com/Issues/2003/1023/mus1.htm |archive-date=August 7, 2007 }}

In late 1998, Neuseiland was formed by Plaskett of Thrush Hermit, as well as members of popular Halifax bands The Super Friendz and Coyote, the Euphonic, both of which had also recently broken up. Taking the name of the band from a Dutch children's book by Annie Schmidt called The Island of Nose, the band consisted of Plaskett on drums, Charles Austin and Drew Yamada on guitar, Andrew Glencross on keyboard and Tim Stewart on bass. They cited King Tubby, Kraftwerk, Pink Floyd, Ray's Chicken Pita and Willie Nelson as influences. The goal of the band was to mix conventional song structure with experimentation inspired by krautrock, stoogian protoplasm and the subtractive mixing techniques of "version" reggae.{{cite news|url=http://music.cbc.ca/#/artists/NEUSEILAND |access-date=June 27, 2013 |title=Neuseiland |work=cbcmusic.ca |publisher=CBC Radio-Canada |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160301002442/http://music.cbc.ca/#!/blogs/2013/6/Rear-view-Mirror-Who-was-Suzanne-and-why-did-Leonard-Cohen-make-her-famous |archive-date=March 1, 2016 }} The band released one album, the self-titled Neuseiland, recorded and released on March 4, 2000.{{cite web | url=https://www.discogs.com/release/18561313-Neuseiland-Neuseiland | title=Neuseiland - Neuseiland | website=Discogs | date=March 4, 2000 }}{{cite web |url=http://www.cochranetimes.com/2012/09/12/plaskettkenney-kick-off-folk-club-season |last=Edey |first=Noel |title=Plaskett/Kenney kick off folk club season |work=The Cochrane Times |location=Cochrane, Alberta |date=September 12, 2012 |access-date=July 11, 2013 |archive-date=October 24, 2017 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171024205101/http://www.cochranetimes.com/2012/09/12/plaskettkenney-kick-off-folk-club-season |url-status=dead }} The band released an extended play, The Disappearing E.P., on December 8, 2001.{{cite web | url=https://www.discogs.com/release/6973138-Neuseiland-The-Disappearing-EP | title=Neuseiland - the Disappearing E.P. | website=Discogs | date=December 8, 2001 }} Sessions for a third release, titled Ai Yi Yi, were recorded in 2002, but never materialized in an official release until 2014.{{cite web | url=https://neuseiland.bandcamp.com/album/rarae-aves | title=Rarae Aves, by Neuseiland }} The band broke up after performing a farewell show on January 6, 2005.

After the breakup of Thrush Hermit and Neuseiland, Plaskett embarked on a solo career. His first release, In Need of Medical Attention, consisted of leftover songs that were written near the end of his days in Thrush Hermit. It was well received by critics, but not until the release of 2001's Down at the Khyber did Plaskett begin to enjoy more widespread acclaim. Khyber was a harder-rocking album that featured a new backing band, The Emergency, consisting of Plaskett, drummer Dave Marsh and bass player Tim Brennan.{{cite book|first=Josh|last=O'Kane|title=Nowhere with You: The East Coast Anthems of Joel Plaskett, The Emergency and Thrush Hermit|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=ELylCgAAQBAJ&pg=PT157|date=1 April 2016|publisher=ECW Press|isbn=978-1-77090-840-6|pages=157–}} Together they called themselves Joel Plaskett Emergency. The album earned Plaskett a Juno Award nomination as best new artist.{{cite web |url=http://www.allmusic.com/artist/joel-plaskett-mn0000215600 |last=Denning |first=Mark |title=Joel Plaskett – biography |work=allmusic.com |publisher=Rovi Corporation |access-date=June 26, 2013}}

The band's next album, Truthfully Truthfully, in 2003, was Plaskett's first all-out commercial success. It was produced by his old Thrush Hermit bandmate McGettigan and was the band's debut release for MapleMusic Recordings. The album featured the song "Come On, teacher," which became a hit in Canada. The album later received an East Coast Music Award as best rock recording.

Plaskett's follow-up album was a solo effort, called La De Da, on which he played most of the instruments himself (McGettigan, however, played bass). Plaskett consciously sought a different sound for La De Da than he did for his previous effort; he considered it a record more for himself than for commercial radio. The album was released in 2005 and earned two East Coast Music Awards in 2006, as Male Artist of the Year and Songwriter of the Year, for the song "Happen Now." He was also nominated for a Juno Award for songwriter of the year that year and was named male artist of the year and songwriter of the year at the East Coast Music Awards.

In March 2006, Joel Plaskett Emergency released their first DVD, Make a Little Noise. It included an EP of three songs. The single "Nowhere with You" has received the most mainstream radio airplay of any Plaskett release to date, and was featured in a Zellers television commercial. Make a Little Noise had three wins at the 2007 East Coast Music Awards: DVD of the year, single of the year ("Nowhere with You"), and songwriter of the year (Joel Plaskett, for "Nowhere with You").{{cite web |url=http://www.thewireweb.com/thewiremegazine/05_09.php#2 |last=Bell |first=Michael |title=Interview: Joel Plaskett |work=The Wire MEGAzine |date=May 2009 |access-date=July 11, 2013 |archive-date=March 19, 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140319030357/http://www.thewireweb.com/thewiremegazine/05_09.php#2 |url-status=dead }}
