I imagine they would, Brad. I'll try and track down someone in the band. If it's anything different than yes, I'll post.

Hope some of you folks can make it out to The Pour House tonight or tomorrow. The Spades really are a fun time (sorry for the initial confusion). If you do make it out, come up and say hi. I'm the guy who's not in the band but knows all the lyrics. Usually near the merch table...if there is any merch. Last week in kingston with The Golden Dogs, we were selling Phil Collins T-shirts, but got this scary reaction from their lead singer so we stopped. Go figure hehehehe Wherever you go, have a good one (and keep your stick on the ice).

For those who like the talk: The Spades are a 3 piece rock band from Peterborough, who just released their debut CD "Burning on Fumes" 10 original tunes ("intelligent songs that rock" as one writer put it). Recently the band has played with The Golden Dogs, The Tragically Hip, Wide Mouth Mason and have been joined on stage by James Gray of Blue Rodeo. On Sept. 12 they will join The Sadies, The Hip, Matt Good and others for a benefit concert on the grounds of the Royal Military College in Kingston. Those in that area can catch a live interview (and acoustic performance)by the band on K-Rock 105.7 (Sunday, Aug.29 8:00 pm.), those in Ottawa can catch the band at the Pourhouse this Fri & Sat. These guys rock big time. Take my word for it. Or........

Explaining oneself is usually a pointless exercise, but who can argue with Red Green. What I meant was: Rather than listen to what other people have to say about a band(the buzz), it is always better to listen to the band itself (the show). Hence skip the talk and catch the show. Nothing more, nothing less. You see I'm just not that clever...or subtle

Thanks Velvet that should be August. I made the change.

The SPADES @ the Pour House (Wm. & Geo. in the market) Fri Aug 27 & Sat Aug 28 @ 10:00 pm No cover charge. that's right no cover how friggin' sweet is that

At a press conference held yesterday the Tragically Hip announced that the Spades (as well as the Sadies & Chris Koster) will be joining them for a benefit concert at RMC in Kingston on Sept.12. Matthew Good and The Hugh Dillon Redemption Choir had already been confirmed. www.cfgk.org/acrossthecauseway

this would be worth catching for sure it is i believe the spades last show before they head to Bayfest with the Hip

the Spades are a great band. distance and work keep me from the Toronto shows, but I'll be lining up in Kingston to catch them with Matt Mays. if anyone needs a rock and roll antidote for the whining on the radio, I strongly recommend you wander over to the 360 tonight.
