AD Posted April 16, 2007 Report Share Posted April 16, 2007 The return of Wolf Parade!The ninth edition of the Wolfe Island Musicfest will be happening on August 10th and 11th on Wolfe Island, one of the Thousand Islands outside Kingston, Ontario. Fittingly, the headlining act on the Saturday, the main day of the fest, will be Wolf Parade but the rest of the lineup is just as impressive, featuring Holy Fuck, Apostle Of Hustle, Chad Van Gaalen, Born Ruffians, Spiral Beach, Basia Bulat, The Abrams Brothers, The Ride Theory, Nich Worby and most excitingly for me, Weeping Tile.In addition to the main to-do on Saturday, there's the Hootenanny Review taking place the night before, featuring Jenny Whitely, Luther Wright (Luther was/is Weeping Tile's lead guitarist), Julie Fader and Jim Bryson. The festival is a charity event intended to raise funds for the Wolfe Island Community Centre and environs. Tickets for the Hootenanny are $15 and for the festival, $25. On-site camping will be available for $10. For those who rarely leave the city (I'm looking at you, self), Wolfe Island is approximately three and a half hours east of Toronto.

Mr. Photogeek Posted April 16, 2007 Report Share Posted April 16, 2007 Weeping Tile are still together? Did not know that...looks like a pretty cool little festival. A little far away perhaps. Well maybe I'll get lucky and Wolf Parade will open for the Arcade Fire Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AD Posted April 16, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2007 Weeping Tile got back together in a studio to play a track on the Rheostatics' tribute disc - apparently they still get back together from time to time for 'special gigs' around Kingston, where they all live.

Northern Wish Posted April 16, 2007 Report Share Posted April 16, 2007 I LOVE WOLF PARADE!! This is awesome news, hopefully followed soon by an announcement of the follow up album to Apologies to the Queen Mary (2004). Chad VanGaalen, Holy Fuck, A of H, and Spiral Beach will all be tasty appetizers. Sean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northern Wish Posted April 16, 2007 Report Share Posted April 16, 2007 The weird thing I read is that Weeping Tile actually got together at Chris Browns place in Nova Scotia to record Public Square...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DevO Posted April 16, 2007 Report Share Posted April 16, 2007 (edited) The festival's official website has the following bands listed..

Calamity Jane Posted April 16, 2007 Report Share Posted April 16, 2007 this is such awesome news! Especially the part about camping. When I considered this fest last year, I believe it was a Sat. afternoon-only thing, with no camping at all. super excited! This will be one of the summer's closest festivals for us!

bouche Posted April 16, 2007 Report Share Posted April 16, 2007 looks like this fest has grown a bit. I went to what I believe may have been the first one to basically see the burt neilson band and it was a fun little trip over there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
