Justin's great! thanks james!

anyone from Peterborough interested in trading a ticket for some postering ?

ps.s sweet set list for those shows.

does anyone know where to get that awesome acoustic version of Possum they did for some radio show back in the day? It was my favorite version!

I camped out with my ex the Twirlin' Diva in 2006 - we statyed on the beach in St. Theresa -at the Rainbow campsite by Cafe Zen - we also visited Monezuma and a couple of other small towns. my brother was living down there for 6 months and of his travels around Costa Rica - he found that area the best for surfing and chill party community. My parents just got back from visiting that same park (Manuel Antonio) - they just loved getting their pictures with the monkeys and sloths! enjoy!

You'd get a kick out of watching the Going Somewhere Episode about Costa Rica that my brother produced.. here's the trailer.

I first heard of Widespread Panic while touring through the states in the summer of '99 in a VW bus - while I was paying for gas - this shakey looking biker dood was chatting up my girlfriend and gave her some Widespread patches - I was kinda nervous of him - but he invited us to go to a famous gravesite of notorious Bank and Train robber William Bailey - who was the bikers' great great grandfather.

don't forget FEBRUARY 8th :

...maybe festival pass is the better term for it...

haha awesome!

www.NUFUNK.ca PRESENTS: VANDERPARK, THE SEA INSIDE & USS also featuring DJ Shandy & Human Kebab Saturday, January 26, 2008 at 10:00pm Revival Bar 783 College St. W ( at Shaw) Toronto, ON Tickets $10 @ Rotate This, Soundscapes, Shanti Baba & via the bands... http://www.nufunk.ca for online tix VANDERPARK http://www.vanderpark.com “This tight Canadian band channels some licks and grooves from the collections of Prince and Stevie Wonder and then slathers them in a glaze of smoldering Modern Rock. If Maroon 5 can be played on radio every 15 minutes, Vanderpark should be on every 10.†CityBeat Magazine Cincinnati, OH - 09/26/2007 In the wake of their highly acclaimed full-length LP All Your Hands, Vanderpark is back with their latest effort Cherish Yesterday. Musically sophisticated and lyrically charged, Cherish Yesterday is jam packed with the newest sounds from the Toronto-based rockers. In contrast to their earlier years, dominated by rigorous touring, this amazing live quartet has grown studio savvy, retooling and refocusing on the music industry in the making of this LP. Wielding their two distinctive voices, singers/guitarists Dave Stulberg and Marcus Wong belt soaring harmonies, tightly woven around fist-pumping grooves created by rhythm section Hanaya Haddad and Alan Demsky. Vanderpark’s live performances have captivated audiences all over Central and Eastern Canada and more recently through the United States. Relix Magazine has deemed them “A band on the vergeâ€, and in 2006 alone they performed over 100 headlining shows, thrilling audiences abroad. Vanderpark is band you remember. THE SEA INSIDE http://www.theseainside.ca It's an amazing time to catch THE SEA INSIDE live. Their debut album 'A BEAUTIFUL MESS' has drawn comparisons to such diverse influences as the performance theatrics of Queen to the experimental edge of early Radiohead. "Vocal arrangements showcase soaring Coldplay-like vocals" (London Free Press, 2007) flirting between the depths of emotional soul searching, countered by the flushing anger of roaring guitars. "They have the perfect mix of angst and resolution" (Bite TV, 2007). After an intense 2006 of writing and recording their debut LP, 2007 was a year of learning to mesh as live musicians. Playing frequently throughout the year, and culminating in a supporting performance of ‘The Plain White T’s’ (of ‘Hey there, Delilah’ fame) for over 1000 fans at Toronto’s prestigious ‘The Guvernment’, their goal of bringing the dynamic and emotion-soaked sound of their album to the stage has not only been met, but indeed exceeded. DO NOT MISS this first performance of 2008. Highly recommended if you are into Coldplay or early Radiohead. “The fact that their album has been in my rotation for a couple of months... speaks volumes about their work. This may be your chance to ‘get in on the ground floor’, as they say" says Rob Schmidt, in his rapidly growing blog ‘London: Burgeoning Metropolis’. Notable Listens include: [Too Much] - “It's UK influenced with unbelievable vocals/vocal arrangementsâ€. (Bite TV, 2007) [behind Your Eyes] - "Cali, their vocalist, really channels a Freddie Mercury type vibe and creates a beautiful falsetto masterpiece.†(Bite TV, 2007) USS http://www.myspace.com/ubiquitoussynergyseeker “It’s not the content. It’s the model†says singer/songwriter/producer/arranger Ash Boo-Schultz who, along with DJ and hype man Human Kebab make up Ubiquitous Synergy Seeker (USS). It’s a philosophy that Ash lives by and one that drives USS’ unique style. The music is a tremendous amalgamation of every genre Ash has ever immersed himself in, sewn together with a folk singers gentle hand. There are the nuances of pop, driving danceable beats, ska, classical symphony and hip hop nestled beneath a voice evocative of Cobain’s tortured wail. The lyrics are clear and poetic, smoothly skating between themes of mental stability and metaphysical realities to love and the importance of being emotionally responsible to one’s self. also featuring DJ Shandy & Human Kebab SAT.JAN.26th @ REVIVAL Tickets $10 @ Rotate This, Soundscapes, Shanti Baba & via the bands... visit: http://www.nufunk.ca for online tix

Today almost anywhere in the world when the name Bob Marley is mentioned it is recognized by old and young. He remains enormously popular and well known all over the world. Reggae's most transcendent and iconic figure, Bob Marley was the first Jamaican artist to achieve international superstardom, in the process introducing the music of his native island nation to the far-flung corners of the globe. Marley's music gave voice to the day-to-day struggles of the Jamaican experience, vividly capturing not only the plight of the country's impoverished and oppressed but also the devout spirituality that remains their source of strength. His songs of faith, devotion, and revolution created a legacy that continues to live on not only through the music of his extended family but also through generations of artists the world over touched by his genius. With a special cast of Toronto Musicians, Djs and MCs, a celebration of Bob Marley's legacy of music, peace and love will take at THE RED DOG on Friday February 8th, 2008 FEATURED ARTISTS: House of David Gang featuring King Selah THE HOUSE OF DAVID GANG is a Toronto-based reggae outfit that delivers late 70s and early 80s style Jamaican reggae classics .

For the past 15 years King Selah and the House of David Gang have hosted the Toronto Bob Marley, Peter Tosh and Bunny Wailer Tributes which have helped bring light to Toronto's burgeoning roots rock reggae scene. Now with a new line-up - The House of David Gang faithfully recreates the Bob Marley Sound - which includes 2 guitarists, 2 keyboardists and a strong rhythm section of Jah-Lin (drums) and Uncledropsi (bass).

Sacret Heart is one of my fovorite songs! His first album is great! I agree!
