The Sweat and The Moist Towelettes, tonight at The Tranzac (main hall), 292 Brunswick Avenue, Toronto (map) / $5 / 8:30-11:00pm
Kinnon made an awesome poster:
As I’ve mentioned before, I’m in a brand new rock and roll back band called The Sweat.
We play Spinal Tap-inspired tough-guy rock, with tongue planted firmly in cheek.
We’re playing our first ever full-length show this Thursday, July 9 at the El Mocambo with two other bands: Huron and Sandman Viper Command. We’d love to see you there.
There’s a Facebook event for the show, if you’re into that kind of thing.
My pals Isaac and Joan of Little Foot Long Foot are releasing their brand new CD Harsh Words tomorrow night at the Rivoli. As opening acts, they’re getting a bunch of bands to cover the entire record, one band per song.
I’ll be performing as part of a brand new rock and roll band called The Sweat. We’ll do the LFLF song “King Hipster.”
That’s tomorrow night, 27 May 2009 at the Rivoli, starting at 9:00 PM. Cover is five bones. Or if you want a CD too, ten bones.
Erin suggests key witness.
Rae suggests The Unsettlers.
Thanks.
Now I have some things to listen to.
We’re playing again. From the mailing list:
The Canaries make a long-overdue return to Clinton’s Tavern this Friday night along with the brilliantly named Books On Tape. We’d love to see you there!

Should be fun. Perhaps you can make it out.
After hearing Jeffrey Blitz a few days ago (on my new favourite radio show The Sound of Young America), I decided to watch Rocket Science, which I just finished.
The soundtrack, mostly by Eef Barzelay, is excellent.
Expect to hear selections soon on a public radio program near you, if you haven’t already.
So I’m in a band, and we’re called The Canaries. A few months back, we made a recording, and had a bunch of CDs pressed. Several hundred, if I recall correctly. Though we’ve not yet “officially” released the CD, we’ve sold them at the past couple of shows.
And now, according to Frank, you can buy our recording on iTunes. Which is kind of cool.
Or, if you’re interested and would like to buy a proper, physical CD, I’ll sell you one for the low low price of five Canadian dollars. That’s a whole $4.90 less than the digital version. Just email me.
Our guitarist Mike and his wife Catherine had a pair of babies in March, which meant some time off for the band. But getting ready to get back at it, and we’re playing a couple of shows in June. I’m looking forward to it.
So I’m in this rock and roll band called The Canaries.
Turns out we’re playing the Horseshoe this Monday, April 2, around 10pm or so.
Now, I know it’s a Monday night, but there are at least three good reasons to come to this show:
So, if you can make it out to the Horseshoe on Monday night, it’d be great to see you.
My friend Laura Peek is a very talented singer-songwriter. For a good long while now, she’s been talking me about a record she’s working on. And I’ve been waiting patiently since she first mentioned it.
Luckily, it seems that the wait will soon be over. According to her blog, the new CD will likely come out in April. What’s more, she’s posted three new songs from it on her MySpace page. And, she’s playing in Toronto on March 11th.
Go listen to Laura’s songs. They’re good.
