Julie Doiron (2011) – Teaser

Post author By vish
Post date July 27, 2025

Between August 1 and 3, 2025 in Sackville, New Brunswick, Sappyfest celebrates its twentieth anniversary as one of the world’s best programmed and most fun music and arts festivals. Back in the summer of 2011 just ahead of the sixth annual Sappyfest, I met Julie Doiron and three of her children at Grapefruit Moon for an interview over breakfast. Aside from her inspirational work in the band Eric’s Trip and her award-winning solo trajectory, Julie founded Sappy Records and co-organized early iterations of Sappyfest. And so, I’m sharing this 2011 encounter with Julie and most of her kids (plus a cameo by Rheostatics’ Dave Bidini), because it’s enjoyable and provides some insights about her music and Sappyfest.

Ben Disaster is here to discuss Real Sickies and their new album Under a Plastic Bag, his weekly CJSR radio show, This is Pop, festive DIY kitchen parties on the east coast of Canada and the uniquely different Alberta vibe, the girl in grade three who gave him a mixtape that changed his life when he was in kindergarten, feeling rather informed when you’re involved in underground culture, being a fan of Green Day as a kid and then becoming friendly with Billie Joe Armstrong after he said he likes Real Sickies, working with Josh Wells from Autogramm, field recording trains and burying your phone in dirt, the new album’s dark but empowering themes, new music, shows, other future plans, and much more.
