Both hit Canadian stores on October 31 and come with new special features for 2006. Pop in Wintersleep's sophomore CD Untitled and you'll notice a new enhanced section with 2 extra bonus tracks & 4 Wintersleep videos. Untitled was originally recorded in Halifax by Laurence Currie (Sloan, One Chord to Another) and has since received such glowing praise as "Wintersleep could be the album to convert the whole country" -Exclaim Magazine & "Ambitious and remarkably accessible. Not since Eric's Trip has a Canadian band managed to so successfully combine music that's both head-smashingly heavy and heart-achingly delicate." -FFWD, Calgary Wintersleep started as recording project in Loel Campbell's 15th floor apartment, to try and produce some of Paul Murphy's quieter material. At that time, Paul had been fronting the rock group Kary, whose aggressive sound left little room for this quieter side. Loel & Paul rapidly developed a musical catalogue and interest. Soon after Tim D'eon started contributing and when the oppurtunity arrived to play live, Jud Haynes was added to fill out the live band. Voted "best band in Halifax" by The Coast readers three years running, selling out clubs throughout Canada & touring with the likes of Broken Social Scene, K-os, Pearl Jam, Stars... Wintersleep have proven themselves to be one of the country's most exciting bands! ADVANCE TICKETS AVAILABLE ($10) at Casbah Lounge, Crash Landing Punk Clothing, Dr.Disc, Sonic Unyon and on-line at http://www.tixit.ca

Tonight in Hamilton... Cincinnati Records & Promotions Proudly Presents Friday November 24 2006 THE GOLDEN DOGS (True North Records) with guests CURRY, GUNS & MAPLESYRUP FIRST FLIGHT OUT DOG DAY (Black Mountain Music, members of The Burdocks) 9PM Drs, 9:45PM Dog Day takes the stage, C,G&M 11:15pm, The Golden Dogs 12:15am $8 adv, $10 drs (reduced charge at midnight) "For three years Jess was a voice on the phone," says Dave smiling as he looks over at his wife. As Jess worked and traveled to Toronto whenever she could, Dave was writing what would become The Golden Dogs' first EP. She'd eventually move to Toronto, and join The Dogs, who were just starting to play gigs around Toronto. But while Dave and Jess' relationship solidified, their band was in constant flux, as band members kept coming and going. Somehow they managed to release a second EP. Soon after, True North Records came calling and things started looking up. The band re-released their two EPs on one critically acclaimed record, Everything In 3 Parts. They then opened for seminal bands such as Kaiser Chiefs, Bloc Party and The Libertines, got their performance at SXSW in Austin mentioned in the New York Times, were invited to showcase at Popkomm in Berlin and even had "Birdsong" appear in Douglas Coupland's film Everything's Gone Green. Naturally, the group was anxious to record a follow-up, so they teamed up with Paul Aucoin, a prolific producer (The Old Soul/the Heavy Blinkers/Cuff the Duke) and founder of the instrumental pop group The Hylozoists, and headed into a bonafide studio for the first time. But, before they started recording, fate would find a way to screw the band again. Their drummer, Beau Stocker, was accepted to school in England two weeks before recording was scheduled to start and left the band. Faced with a major crisis, Knox, who was then the bassist, volunteered to drum. After a couple days of running through the songs, it turned out that Knox was more than proficient, both in the studio and live. In a lot of ways, according to Azzolini and Grassia, Knox's energy and enthusiasm on the skins helped bring the band to a whole new level. Listen to the rapid snare hits on "Construction Worker" or the wild insanity on "Life on the Line" and you'll see that life as a Golden Dog is just fine.
