I'd second the Fitz and the Tantrums. AND I'm lovin' the sound of this thread!!

That footage above was absolutely incredible. I feel charged after watching that.

Very exciting Brad! Happy for you!

Cool...

Either way I'm looking forward to hearing it. Sorry to see Willie go as well...but real happy to know the band is forging on and hope to catch them sometime this spring/summer.

Old Crow Medicine Show Lineup Change We are happy to announce that one of the original founding members, Critter Fuqua, is back in the band. Critter has written and recorded some of Old Crow’s classic songs, including “Take ‘em Awayâ€, “James River Bluesâ€, “Big Time In The Jungleâ€, and “New Virginia Creeperâ€. Old Crow Medicine Show have decided to part ways with Willie Watson. They wish him all the best in his future endeavors. The band has recorded a new album for ATO Records which will be released in 2012.

Ha. Cool find. I'd be lying if I said I never have

Hmmm...

Keep those memories alive Kev...

Happy new year shain. Its been some long time.

Its all so very exciting.

Dear friends across Canada, The Harper government is about to privatise Jasper National Park -- launching development in the pristine Rockies and an entrance fee for visitors. All to profit a US company. Click below to save the park and forward to everyone: Sign the petition In days, the Harper Government will privatize a section of Jasper National Park and let an American-owned company blast a 300m metal walkway into our World Heritage mountains -- but Jasper's Superintendent has the power to stop them. The plan would not only spur development, but would give an American company the right to charge each of us for entry into Jasper park. Greg Fenton, a local Jasperite, has the ability to stop the privatization of the park he grew up in and loves -- but he's bending to brutal pressure from the Harper Government. Let's send him a tidal wave of support and give him the strength he needs to stand up to Harper and save our Rocky Mountain sanctuary. Private international companies should not be profiteering off our national treasures. Click here to ensure our parks stay in public hands -- sign the petition calling on Fenton to save Jasper National Park before it's too late: http://www.avaaz.org/en/jasper_development/?vl The 300m metal walkway over the the world-famous Icefields Parkway will be built by Brewster Canada -- a premium travel company that is an 80% owned subsidiary of the American-based company VIAD. Both are fully profit-driven companies that value their bottom line over the preservation of our natural heritage. VIAD and Brewster have hired expensive heavyweight lobbyists to win over the Harper Government and Jasper National Park and set an irreversible precedent. But our voice can easily drown out the dangerous message coming from these corporate lobbyists. Our voice needs to be heard by Greg Fenton, the Park’s Superintendent and the person who has the final say on the approval of the project. With thousands of Canadians pounding on the door of Fenton’s office this is our chance to ensure that Jasper does not set a precedent allowing commercial operators to convert our National Parks into profit-making attractions. http://www.avaaz.org/en/jasper_development/?vl Avaaz has fought hard to protect our natural environment by campaigning on climate change, whaling and protecting our oceans -- now we can come together to save our parks from corporate ownership. With hope, Emma, Ari, Ricken, Morgan, Stephanie and the entire Avaaz team.

Not sure who wrote that actually. And yes, the Allniters are great (sorry if I had the spelling wrong?) They'll definitely put the kick in your start. Looking forward to it.

Come on and celebrate as they're heading into their 20th year as a band... From the facebook event page: Celebrate the release of the Fat Cats upcoming album at This Ain't Hollywood - Jan 28th. Performing 2 sets! With special guests - The Allnighters Cover: $10 or $20 with cd. Doors: 8pm In the last twenty years, the movement of Canadian independent music has seen fluctuating trends, with the rise and fall of numerous venues and accelerating media train of possibilities. One stubborn child of homegrown descent was born and raised in the Hamilton music scene, and set out to make their mark in Canada and the U.S. alike: The Fat Cats. With a truly genuine and original sound, the music itself has simple demands: just listen, and dance. Not to be pigeon-holed by any particular style, The Fat Cats have made significant inroads within the “Jamband†genre, not only for themselves, but for a collection of other bands as well by creating an accessibility to the scene that reaches a larger group of music fans. Often being revered as the pioneers of the craft in Canada, the free flowing and uninhibited style of playing has been a specialty of the band since their inception. The everlasting chemistry between the players has kept this ideal blooming throughout their history, and forges the future of their unmistakable sound and groove. The five-member unit is fuelled by a classic combo of guitars, bass, keys and drums. While the tools are common to the trade, the Fat Cats have navigated the music to open waters, sailing on wood, wire, reed and skin. Always maintaining an organic nature that pays homage to many great singers and songwriters, the sound takes on an electrifying groove that draws on all popular genres in the last 60 years. The song writing, while timely and lyrically relevant, possesses an ageless quality that speaks to all generations of listeners; basically, if you like music, you will like the Fat Cats. The band has shown their infectious groove makes them a sure bet to both draw a crowd, and entertain. Their fan base continues to grow and remain among the most loyal of music lovers. After years of touring and countless local shows, the Fat Cats are set to release their third studio album entitled “Shine Box†in January 2012. A culmination of work that was recorded at Hamilton’s Westmoreland Recording Studio, the album is an excellent representation of the bands song writing skills and is sure to please the senses of the incumbent fan, as well as a first time listener. Come on out and tip one back...

Glad to hear you all had such a great time. Sure sounds like a pretty special thing you all help to keep alive.
