Whites Off Earth Now!! on vinyl
We have just re-released Whites Off Earth Now!! on 180 gm vinyl. It’s also in a gatefold sleeve with some very detailed liner notes by our friend Dave Bowler. This was re-mastered by Peter Moore. Peter went back to the original master tapes and went through them with his typical attention to detail. It sounds freakin’ awesome. If you […]
new recording added “Once I Was”
We have added a new song to the “neath your covers” section in Exclusives (or you can just check out the song on the player below). It is a cover of the Tim Buckley song “Once I Was” and it is being released today on a CD called, “The Village: A Celebration of the Music of Greenwich Village”. The […]
Barbara Lynch at The Dakota Oct 29
Barbara Lynch will be performing a rare show this week at The Dakota Tavern at 249 Ossington St in downtown Toronto. The show is this Thursday, October 29 and it starts at 9pm. Our brother John will be performing with her and it should be a great night of music. If you haven’t had a chance to check […]
Vienna, VA – Blacksburg, VA – Black Mountain, NC (Oct 14 – 16, 2009)
A cold, rainy day in Virginia, spent on the grounds of Wolftrap. The rain kept us inside. A beautiful venue tonight (The Barns at Wolftrap) with a completely wood beam interior and a top of the line sound system. It was also a sold out venue. Unfortunately we didn’t have a very good night […]
South Orange, NJ and Easton, MD (Oct 11 – 13, 2009)
I don’t know exactly where we were today, somewhere on or near the Jersey shore. We could have been in any small town in America except we were apparently only about 15 minutes from Manhattan….you could have fooled me. An odd venue tonight. Not a bad little room, very utilitarian, but with decent sound. It […]
Lee Harvey Osmond on The Loft
Lee Harvey Osmond took time during the day off yesterday to make an appearance on XM radio’s The Loft. Check it out:
Carrboro, NC and Lewisburg, WV (Oct 8 – 10, 2009)
We had a very welcome day off in Chapel Hill and then two shows over two nights in neighbouring Carrboro, so we had the luxury of staying in the same place for three full days. We also happened to be booked in to a very comfortable hotel (The Franklin), sometimes the stars align. Chapel Hill […]
Cookie Crumbs – Volume 4
In case you haven’t noticed, we have added Cookie Bob’s latest edition of Cookie Crumbs to the Exclusive page. It’s a very cool collection of some of Bob’s first tapings of the band starting in 1996. There are some songs in this collection that I had forgotten that we had once played live. If you […]
Ann Arbor, MI and Pittsburgh, PA (Oct 5 and 6, 2009)
Ann Arbor is a very familiar stomping ground for us. Over the years we have performed dozens of times at various venues around this active little college town. These days we seemed to have settled into The Ark, which is one of the country’s more storied performance spaces. They could definitely do a bit of […]
Lexington and Three Oaks, MI (Oct 3 and 4, 2009)
I guess tonight was the “real” opening night…..in-stores and cocktail parties don’t really count. We arrived back in Toronto around ten o’clock on Friday night and had to be at our studio at 6:45am the next day to load our gear out for an 8:30am departure: a four hour drive to Lexington (with a […]
