CONGRADS MAN.. I WISH I COULD BE THERE.

Good to hear all. Things are fine in London. Great weather we've been having and I'm gearing up for Canada Day here - am doing 4 shows in 3 countries - London twice, Paris and Berlin.

A bit tired today though.

been a while.. How are ya'll?

awesome!

cheers lads. BTW, I saw Widespread Panic last night at the Moody Theatre here in Austin.. the place they film ACL. Nostalgic.

I'm back again in May.. and pints then. I missed Ghost. It was a bit muddle.

I missed Tripykon. I didnt actually see much as the metal expo. It was cold though. I discovered KLAVARTAK who were brilliant and a terrible band called Avatar. Funny Swedish hair metal.

Sorry I've been MIA mate. Just swamped.

best thread ever.

good album... Polaris winners.

wow... mazel tov all around!

just great.

wow.. have to free up some space on my HD...

Very impressive.

The two who run EoTR always book a ton of Canadian acts. There's a reason for that Blane.. will explain later.

You should see:

Wilderness of Manitoba

Snowman (Stagecoach is a different band)

Smoke Fairies

Freelance Whales

Adam Green

I'll be in London. Come up for that

Nope, just OK. They did a club NME show and played White Heat, both highly hyped gigs, but are still in the developmental process. The big name right now in that world being hyped is Diamond Rings here.

They are doing OK here... Definitely hyped.

I'm missing him by a week but I'll be with him in Germany and the UK. Really really recommended.
