Tour Diary – the Conquest of Quebec – Rouyn-Noranda and Val D’Or, QC (Nov 26 and 27, 2009)
Rouyn-Noranda and Val D’Or, QC (Nov 26 and 27, 2009) You might need a little help locating this one on the map: head NNE from Toronto and keep on going, past Algonquin Park, past where all of those pesky roads seem to end, way up there, a little to the East of a town named […]
Miami Here We Come!
We’re playing a free, private show for our good friend Enrique Martinez Celaya at his studio in Miami on Thursday, December 3rd, at 9:30 pm, during the Miami Art Basel Exhibition.

Tour Diary – The Conquest of Quebec – Quebec City, QC (Nov 21, 2009)
People in other parts of Canada tend to get pissed off at Quebec on a regular basis. It is such a different culture, a different attitude towards the way one lives a life, they are just so darn different from us: and people tend to get pissed off at things that are different from them. […]
Tour Diary – The Conquest of Quebec – Montreal and Sherbrooke, QC (November 18 – 20, 2009)
I had my morning coffee in a small café off of Sherbrooke Street, serenaded by that penultimate Quebec songbird, Celine Dion. If it’s Celine this must be Montreal.

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.
