We're excited to announce that we'll be hitting the road in the US en route to, and on the way back from, The Rock Boat in January/February of next year. We left some of our American fans hanging this past summer when we were forced to cancel some shows due to some hassles we had at immigration but that's all been cleared up now and we're pumped and ready to go. See a full list of these US club dates listed below.
Also, as some of you may have already heard, we are heading out on a short acoustic tour of select theatres across Canada in February/March directly following our American run.
In support of this outing we have decided to re-issue our 2009 live acoustic release "Friends and Total Strangers".
This Deluxe Re-Issue will feature 4 songs pulled from the same performances at Glenn Gould Studio in Toronto in January of '09 that were previously unavailable on the original release or it's accompanying DVD.
These live bonus performances are "Every Inambition", "Makin' Sunshine", "No Time For Later" and "Not Ready To Go".
We are also making "Friends and Total Strangers" available on vinyl for the very first time. This will be a double vinyl LP and can be purchased at our acoustic shows or ordered online from our website, available early 2016.
The deluxe reissued CD and vinyl have both been digitally re-mastered in their entirety. And to get you in the mood for this upcoming acoustic run, we are making the re-issue available FRIDAY, Nov. 27th!! so happy listening and enjoy!
We are really looking forward to this acoustic tour. There's been a new album since we last toured acoustically ( 2014's The Trews ) and we've been doing a lot of writing lately so there's plenty of new material to draw on when compiling the set lists. It's always a great way for us to shake things up.
We're also very excited to announce that Rich Robinson, formerly of the Black Crowes, will be joining us solo acoustic for 3 shows out west, in Calgary and two nights in Sherwood Park, AB (Edmonton area). We are very big fans of Rich's solo work and are thrilled to have him on the bill with us. We did a little collaborating with Rich on the "...thank you and I'm sorry" EP a couple years back and it will be great to play with him again. So check out the dates below, give the "FATS" re-issue a spin or two, and we'll see you out on the road in the new year.
Cheers!
