briguy Posted December 9, 2008 Report Share Posted December 9, 2008 Go see this band. This is serious! Aaron Goldstein approved. Thursday December 11 The Northwest Division, w/ Harriet @ Touche - Doors 9:00PM -- 19+ :: $3 33 Hess Street South, Hamilton, Hess Village Touche Facebook Group http://www.northwestdivision.com http://www.myspace.com/northwestdivision http://www.myspace.com/harrietofficial Formed in Toronto, Ontario – though the friendships started many years earlier in Prince Edward Island – this band is most influenced by the simple sound of Neil Young and Crazy Horse and the playful spontaneity of the Kinks. Peter Forbes (guitar, lead vocals), Sheldon Kelly (bass, vocals), Mike Daley (guitar, vocals) and Mike Mella (drums, vocals) came together after years of working in different projects, happy to land on one that just felt right. Their approach is easygoing and uncomplicated, reflecting a strong Canadian vibe. Forbes sums up the band’s dynamic: “Writing with this band is different because it’s never a math problem. It’s tall cans and good times and chicken wings afterwards.†Pleased to release their first EP, Of Which I’m the Master, after two years of performing live and writing music, the Northwest Division has a catalogue that doesn’t try to be anything other than songs they enjoy playing. Songs with heart. And when asked about where they’re headed, Kelly explains: “Hopefully, we’re headed into peoples ears.†Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

briguy Posted December 11, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2008 (edited) As most of you know we've been having problems with heat at Touche. The contractors have been here around the clock. I was told it would be rectified yesterday and it wasn't. I just arrived at the venue and the heat is still blowing lukewarm air. I spoke with owner and we've decided to shut it down until we're 100% sure there aren't any more problems. Hopefully tomorrow or the next day. Sorry for the inconvenience but we'd rather every one keep warm and enjoy the show at a later date. Hopefully the band will be back at the beginning of January. chrs, bc Edited December 11, 2008 by Guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
