Friday on CHRW & LOLA Festival

Be sure to tune in to CHRW tomorrow from 3:30-6pm. I won't be on the air for Pulp Friction, but I just found out that Brian Webb from The Constantines will be guest hosting the show in my absence.

They're in town to play this year's LOLA Festival, which will also feature performances from The Meligrove Band, Grizzly Bear, Final Fantasy, Holy Fuck, and lots more.

My band, The Knaves, are also very excited to be a part of this year's festival, which will see the Canadian premiere of Brian Eno's art exhibit '77 Million Paintings'.

Tune in to the show tomorrow at 5:00 to hear a preview of the new Hard-Fi album, 'Once Upon A Time In The West'. I've been listening to it all week, and I've picked out 6 tracks to play for you.

The album is great, and so is the (lack of) cover art. It will be in stores on September 4th.

Rufus Wainwright tickets

Tomorrow night at the Alex P. Keaton, we'll be giving away a pair of tickets to see Rufus Wainwright at Centennial Hall this Wednesday (Aug. 29th). The Magic Numbers are also on the bill, so it should be a great show!

Stop by and talk to me sometime before midnight to fill out a ballot.
