The Country French would like to extend their welcome to the newest member of the “Instrument Arsenal of DOOM”!
The Yamaha CP70B was picked up today and after a little love and care it will be gracing a stage near you.
The CP70 joins the Vintage gear ranks with a Roland JX 3P, Boss HC2, and a Fender Rhodes that are currently played by none other then Steve Wood.
Mr. Beacock contributes to the Vintage army with a 1987x Marshall head with a 2×12 2061 Cab.
Hey Everybody! I just wanted to take the time to inform this page that I will be doing some guest hosting this Monday and Tuesday (March 22nd and 23rd) on CBC Radio 3. Not totally sure what we’ll be discussing but I do promise plenty of stimulating banter and as always, really awesome Canadian indie music. Listen live here http://radio3.cbc.ca/
Oh, and also check out our shows section while you’re here if you haven’t already. We just posted some new Ontario gigs and there will be more to come shortly.
Love always,
Will
March 23rd at the Starlight in Waterloo, ON! Don’t miss out on the show that you may never see again! Joel Plaskett and the boys of Thrush Hermit are gettin the band back together (possibly a mission from God) and have asked us to join in the fun. Waterloo will be a rockin so don’t miss out on any of the fun. Purchase your tickets to the event from ticketmaster.ca here http://bit.ly/9Qj1TE. See you soon!!!!
This toque arrived for me in the mail. I like it so much that I wear it indoors.
While you’re there, you can check out our artist page (http://r3.ca/006i). We’ve posted a couple of new tracks from ‘Awake, You Sleepers!’ to wet your whistle in advance of the release. You can listen to Ontario and also the upcoming single, Railroad.
If you happen to be in one of those snowy places tonight, grab your favourite knitted sweater, a cup of cocoa and settle down near the fire (or space heater, or radiator)…
Let's get cosy!
Today we find ourselves in Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island! Last night we rolled across the Confederation Bridge, which if you did not know, is the world largest bridge. It is 13 km or 8 miles long. Click here for the wikipedia article to learn more. We got to the hotel and then instantly left to meet up with our friends Said the Whale and Hannah Georgas for a 6:30 reservation for lobster dinner!
Steve, Aaron, and Dan ready for seafood!
Today we have the day off in beautiful Charlottetown, so if you live here, you just might see a giant yellow van barrel past you as you try to enjoy a walk in the sun. Tomorrow we play UPEI, then it’s off to Halifax to cause trouble there for a couple days too. Hooray!
Hey everybody,
Just a reminder to tune in to CBC radio 3 this monday (Aug 3rd) between 10am-2pm EST to hear Will fill in for Craig Norris. You can catch the show at http://radio3.cbc.ca of tune in to channel 86 on Serius satellite radio.
Hey Everybody!
