The Country French On ICE! (er.. Online!) – 26. November, 2009

Hello Darlings!

So, it’s a pretty exciting day here at the Country French Camp. Apparently they’ve had the internet on computers for YEARS now and we’re some of the last to know. But don’t fret. We’ve decided to celebrate our recent discovery by taking this frightening new technology and running with it.

Yes, that’s right, we’ve set up a UStream account! *hold for applause* … Okay, for those of you who don’t know what the heck UStream is, it’s a website that allows anyone with enough time on their hands and commitment to nerdery to broadcast their lives to anyone willing to watch via the internet. What does that mean for us? Well, we’re proud to announce the launch of the Country French LiveStream!

From now on, whenever we have a strong internet connection and a capable board, we’ll try to broadcast our shows so you can dance along in your living room, either by yourself, with a party (get some chips and pop first!), your cat, or your parents! We’ll send out an update via twitter, myspace, facebook and our website a few hours before each show, so you’ll know when to sign in.

The UStream page can be found at http://www.ustream.tv/channel/the-country-french-live-stream

Even more exciting, if you log in to watch us and sign up for a USTREAM account, you can even CHAT with us while we’re there! It really can be like you’re with us!

So the first stream will be a week from today! Coming at you live from Maxwell’s Music House in Waterloo, Thursday, Dec. 3.

We also have a show on Dec. 4 in Hamilton at the Studio Theatre with our friends Arkells! We’re really looking forward to that too! I hear tickets are going faster than peanuts at a baseball game though, so act fast if you’re trying to get tickets for that show!

That’s all for now! See you on the WEB!

Stop! BUCKY TIME! – 5. November, 2009

It’s snowing! So you know what that means…Bucky bucky bucky heyyyyy BUCKY!
Yep, you guessed it! The voting for CBC Radio 3’s annual Bucky Awards is fast coming to a close. The Country French are nominated for the award ‘Most Canadian Song’ for Ontario, a tune from the upcoming release ‘Awake, You Sleepers!’
If you’d like to lend your support to us, head on over to radio3.cbc.ca, log in and vote for us! There are lots of other award categories and lots of great songs, bands and people nominated, so be sure to go through each award and pick someone you love.

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!
