2nd show announced for March 23!

Today The Low Anthem announced The Barr Brothers will be opening their show at The Great Hall on March 2. Can't wait for this. Anyone was at the same billing last year at Church of the Redeemer knows how good this show was. Definitely mark this one down on your calendars...

White is raw as shit, I'll give the man that. I'll take The Black Keys over TWS anyday (over most bands for that matter)

I truly never understood the hype around The White Stripes. I tried time and time again to get into their music and I never could. When playing in The White Stripes, I think Jack White's skills as a guitar player are completely overrated. That being said, I do enjoy The Raconteurs and I dig Jack's voice. On the whole though, I think they were way way way over hyped.

Don't know if any of you made it to this show at the Mod Club last week but it was a hell of a time. Definitely check out both of these bands if you haven't already

Vol. 2 featured Lewis Spring, drummer for Mookie & The Loyalists. Today we release Volume 3. of the Artist Mixtapes which features Mookie Morris himself. Enjoy it's a killer mix.

Sam Cohen of Yellowbirds is our first installment of the Artist Mixtapes. Sam shares 5 songs he's been listening to lately and 3 songs he can't live without. Give the mixtape a listen!

can you post that mailout ?

wonder if the flat-brim nation will be traveling across the border with the band? hopefully they'll figure out there's no good way to smuggle nitrous through customs.

Also SlipLive is back in action for those who tried to long on to the dead domain

Hanky Moody is the greatest anti-hero there is. between the beat-to-shit Porsche with one headlight, the all black outfits, the constant smoking and drinking and flagrant drug usage and the ability to still be one hell of an author, the guy is living the most romanticized "artist" lifestyle i've ever seen. in short, he's my hero.

Live performance of 'Me Me Me', beautifully shot by the folks at Invisible Children

If anyone is ordering from Toronto, shoot me an email lucasdsamuels@gmail.com so we can try and figure out a group ship

Thanks!

I'd love to get in on the pooling for posters to avoid that nasty shipping fee. Is anyone here from Toronto and looking to order?

Just bought mine, $15 CDN what a steal! Just gotta get Marco to sign it at some point...

Hey everyone,

I've moved Back In 15 Minutes over to a new address, backin15minutes.wordpress.com

I've got some exciting stuff lined up including an interview with Sam Cohen about his new band 'Yellowbirds' (Sam is a founding member of Apollo Sunshine), as well as a really cool Artist Mixtape series where bands will choose a number of songs based on a certain criteria which I will then upload for streaming from the blog.

Can't wait to get things rolling again!

My buddy's interview with Brad and Andrew is up on jambands.com now. It's a great read and probably their most revealing interview to date.

This already shaping up to be the best Slip show in god knows how long...

The Slip - 74....I have a feeling we're going to hear lots of gems tonight! Too bad I'll be on the bus to NYC soon and won't be able to listen. Fack.
