NS MUSIC WEEK

Great times were had at NS Music Week. Our gang was all over the showcases. Jordi gets the prize for 'most number of gigs played over the whole weekend' (136 at last count).

Our next show is an acoustic collaboration with some folks we admire: Don Brownrigg, Ria Mae, & Carmen Townsend will be joining us at The Carelton on Sunday, Nov. 28th. We'll be covering some of their tunes & they'll be playing some of ours. It's going to be magic.

Two Shows, Two Sides of the Same Coin

On Friday, October 1st we’re loading up the van and crossing county lines. That night we’ll be playing a show on Nova Scotia’s North Shore at Whirligigs Cafe in Wallace. From everything we hear, the cafe is bright, it’s cozy, it’s got great food and big windows overlooking Wallace Harbour. It’s going to be a special night. And it’s bring-your-own wine. I’m not making this up.

Joining us for this, our first show in Cumberland County, will be one of our favouritest bands in our home county, the inimitable folk duo Acres and Acres.

On Saturday, October 9th, we’ve got an exciting show lined up at the Seahorse. On the bill we’ve got special guest Craig Mercer, playing with his new band the Will Be Gones. We’ll also be joined by Soho Ghetto. If my sources are to be trusted, they recorded their ‘Parisian EP’ at Argyle Fine Art. Check it. I hear they’re a seven-piece band, so things might be cozy up on stage.

The summer’s faded and students are back in town. We’re thinking of dedicating this show to the Borderland ‘twixt Youth and Experience.

On the night of October 9th, you and me, and everyone in town: we’re all 19 again! It’s not creepy, it’s just a kind of thought experiment, and we’re each our own guinea pigs. We’ll be mixing more than metaphors, when the time is right.
