so so much so much

new Shotgun & Jaybird LP + Shotgun & Jaybird tour + Final Fantasy + Jon-Rae and the River + Paddy O's has somehow become the indie rock capital of the maritimes

okay so a lot has happened since the last time i was on this here weblog. i live here again and there is a lot to catch up on.

firstly, Shotgun & Jaybird have made a new record and it has 5 more songs than their last release did. it's called "Trying to Get Somewhere". if you live in Sackville, you can buy this record at Struts Gallery, Rob Lyon Graphics, or from band members. if you don't live in Sackville, the best place to go is to the Sappy Records website, but you can also get it in digital format at Zunior online.

secondly, they are preparing to embark on a fall tour opening for and being the backing band of and having as a member of their band Julie Doiron. don't worry friends, it is a family tree that i will never understand either, though it would help if you could create one.

thirdly, newly crowned Polaris Prize Winner Final Fantasy is performing at George's Roadhouse on friday, November, 17. to make matters somewhat simpler, Julie Doiron will be performing a solo set. this will be a sitting down show because nobody wants to play video games while other people are standing up. tickets are at Ducky's and will be moving quickly.

fourthly, Jon-Rae and the River are definitely not going to make you sit down when they arrive at George's Roadhouse on the 20th of October. they have a new album and are currently to be found on the cover of Exclaim! magazine.

fifthly, Paddy O's has become the indie rock capital of the maritimes officially. check it out. this will include Henri Faberge and the Adorables, The Bicycles, and dd/mm/yyyy.

sixthly, i need to go dust off my knee high boots as a result.

more to come.
