Those of you completely gutted by Frank Ocean’s cancellation can take solace in the fact there’ll be many, many other awesome people â\u20ac\u201d Polaris People, in fact â\u20ac\u201d performing at the festival<\/a>.<\/p>\n Because this is what we do, let’s track what some of these Osheaga-bound Polaris People (as well as some of their other peers) have been up to recently…<\/p>\n If headlines are to be believed, current Short Listers and Osheaga-bound First Nations electro act A Tribe Called Red<\/strong> have officially broken out<\/a>. They’ll also be one of the marquee draws for a collaborative X Avant New Music Festival<\/a> and imagineNATIVE Film Festival <\/a>event on October 19 in Toronto.<\/p>\n Fellow Osheaga-bound 2013 Short Listers Tegan And Sara<\/strong> are continuing to aw-shucks their way into everyone’s hearts via fan appreciation<\/a> (they like their fans because they \u00ab\u00a0don’t get anything too psychotic<\/a>\u00a0\u00bb sent to them) and a dignified approach to becoming more \u00ab\u00a0accessible<\/a>.\u00a0\u00bb Also, copycats.<\/p>\n My cats look like @teganandsara<\/a> … kinda freaky. #heartthrob<\/a> #sphynxes<\/a> #teganandsara<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/CttlpWc7a9<\/a><\/p>\n â\u20ac\u201d Mathew (@mthwbz) August 1, 2013<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n
