Lowest of the Low are Back!

I just found out that Lowest of the Low are getting back together for a couple of shows. They're re-releasing their first and most awesome album Shakespeare My Butt. There's also a DVD and two shows at Lee's Palace on Friday and Saturday December 3rd and 4th.

Here's the story at Exclaim.

You can buy your tickets/CD/DVD from Maple Music or get your tickets from Ticketmaster.  Tickets are on sale now!

Lowest of the Low are one of my favourite bands, and one of the only bands that has broken up that I miss.  See you there!

New Stars Album The Five Ghosts Stream!

Stars is one of my favourite bands. Their album Set Yourself On Fire is one of my all-time favourite albums. While I didn't like In Our Bedroom After the War quite as much, I am looking forward to their new release The Five Ghosts.

The new album is out next Tuesday but you can listen to a stream of it now at NPR.

Enjoy!

Check out the New Gaslight Anthem Album American Slang

I rather like Gaslight Anthem. I caught them when they came through town for a gig at the Opera House. Their straight ahead rock sound with aggressive guitars and great stories had instant appeal to me.

Their new album, American Slang, is out June 15. You can check out a stream of the new album at NPR. Then mosey over to emusic or your fave retailer for your copy on the 15th.

I've only made it through the first couple of tracks myself so far, but it sounds uber-promising.

New Track from Klaxons

Long time since I've posted, you say? Well, it's been a long time since we've heard new music from Klaxons, too. They've released a new track that you can check out at their web site or below. Their new album is reportedly going to be called Surfing the Void and I haven't heard of a release date yet.

First impression? Sounds good!

Happy Valentine's Dead

A friend of mine is a pub musician in Toronto. I first heard this song when he did a cover version of it. It's the closest thing to a Valentine's song I'm going to post. Sorry about the audio quality. I couldn't find a better version.

Let's all raise a Manhattan to Mr. Valentine.
