Hi friends,
Sorry about the lack of updates recently. The weather's gotten nice, and all of us in CI have probably spent more time throwing the football around and going to Phillies games than actually doing band work. That's not to say there aren't some cool things in the works for Canadian Invasion this summer.
CI Live on WPRB
First, we're kicking things off with a special live appearance on 103.3 WPRB in Princeton. We'll be debuting a couple of new songs, playing some interesting covers, and maybe even reworking some old tunes. All this goes down Friday, June 19th, starting at 10pm. So after you get in from a wild night of gallantry, plop down by the computer--or radio!--and tune in.

CI Concert Review
Jess over at popwreckoning has posted a nice review of CI's gig at the North Star Bar on May 2nd with New Zealand's Cut Off Your Hands. Including with the review are some neat photos of me writhing on the floor as I am wont to do after a few Red Bulls. If this isn't proof that you need to come out and see us live, I don't know what is.

New Video for "Tomorrow..."
Melinda the Martian, the mastermind behind our videos for One Hand Claps the Other and Three Cheers for the Invisible Hand, has done it again: this time for our song "Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow" and with the help of her cohorts, They're Using Tools.
Watch the story of yours truly, Andy Canadian, as I wander through my droll life until one evening I awake with a lawnmower for a chest and a taste for destruction! Yup, pretty much my regular life :)

What's In Store for the Invasion...
Friends,
With the new CI disc finally out and our momentous CD release party behind us, I figured I'd fill you in on a few of the things CI will be up to in the next few months.
RADIO APPEARANCES
I'm excited to say the we'll be appearing on Philly radio not once but twice this April. First, we'll be playing a few songs live on the air on 104.5 as part of their Friday Live at Five series. We'll be playing "My Swashbuckling Days are Over" and our cover of the Pixies' "Wave of Mutilation" on the air on Friday, April 5th at 5pm sharp. You can listen online by clicking HERE, or you can listen on your iPhone or Blackberry by downloading the new iheartradio app.
And on Easter Sunday we will be taping a live session for our good friends at XPN! We're pulling out all the stops for the session, so expect some tunes from Three Cheers as well as some surprises, including one we've never played before! We'll have details about when the session will air very soon.
SHOWS and MORE SHOWS!
At the end of March we're taking part in a little something we've come to dub the "Canadian Invasion / Golden Bloom Weekend Swap"! We'll be swapping gigs--and spit perhaps?--with our pal Shawn Fogel and his fine band of brothers, Golden Bloom. On Friday, March 27th you can catch both bands at Matchless Bar in Brooklyn for a free show that starts at 8pm. Then on Sunday, March 29th both bands will be in Philly at the M Room for a gig sponsored by one of our favorite Philly music blogs, Bag of Songs (and in the interest of full-disclosure, we love Tom from Bag of Songs).
MARCH MADNESS (no brackets required!)
CI is excited to be a part of West Chester University Radio's March Madness Battle of the Bands! What this means is that CI is pitted against 15 other bands in a bracket style showdown in which YOU, by casting votes online, can determine the winner! CI will face their first opponent on Thursday, March 26th. Support the guys and get us to the next round by stopping by the West Chester University Radio website and voting for Canadian Invasion on March 26th. CLICK HERE TO VOTE...
And if you live in the listening radius of WCUR, listen for CI on the hour every hour on the 26th!
GET UR CI T-SHIRT!
The new Canadian Invasion t-shirts have finally arrived! Take a look for yourself:
You can have your very own for only $15 by clicking below...
MORE UPDATES COMING!
And finally, keep checking in on us! We hope to have news very soon about some more gigs in the DC and Boston Metro ares, some more news about stores where you can pick up Three Cheers, and yet another music video for the album!
Until then, thanks so much for your support!
