"Big hair, bigger shoulder pads and the arrival of the digital age all mark the 1980s Canadian music scene. Narrated by Jian Ghomeshi of CBC Radio's Q, Rise Up documents when Canadian music explodes internationally. Mixing concert clips and interviews, the program digs up a treasure trove of hits, from Men Without Hats' "The Safety Dance" to Bryan Adams' "Summer of 69". This is a revolutionary time as CDs replace cassette tapes and synthesized sounds and music videos dominate the airwaves."

Two part series premiering: Thursday September 10 & Thursday September 17 at 9 pm on CBC-TV. Read more at CBC's website.

54-40 is pleased to announce their perennial appearance at the Commodore Ballroom in Vancouver on Friday, October 16 and Saturday, October 17.
