Tom at Bag of Songs blog is one of the few souls on Earth outside of Canadian Invasion to hear our entire new album, Three Cheers for the Invisible Hand, because we're still in the midst of sorting out its release, and he's written some kind words about the record on the Break Thru Radio site. Check out Tom's full article on what he called "one of 2008's best albums" by clicking here.
Also, you can hear and download a few tracks from the elusive new album at our Myspace page.
Cheers,

Posterized!
There are numerous compelling reasons to pick up a guitar or hurdy gurdy and rock out at your local wateringhole, but none is more convincing than the majesty of the show poster.
I mean, how many opportunities does one get in life to see oneself or one's name emblazoned on a poster? Unless you are a dog that is prone to running away, I imagine the answer is "Not very often."
And ego aside, there are some pleasing aesthetics at play in the world of rock n roll posters. For instance, there's the silkscreen poster, created with good old hand printing techniques a la this poster by our silkscreen fav and friend Anthony Dihle:
Then there's the "slap your band info on a pre-existing image" aesthetic that I've been using since someone long ago introduced me to it:
But this hardly scratches the surface. Here are some links to the pros. Hope you like what you see!

In the near future, I will try to add a section on the once ubiquitous psychedelic poster!

We Are the Champions!
Cue the Queen music, my friends, because Canadian Invasion is officially the 2nd smartest group of music trivia players according to our new pals at Bag of Songs blog and Girl About Town blog, both of whom hosted a music quizzo at the Khyber the other night.
And, to make things even better, I met Jamie, who has a pair of the exact same, only made in England, pair of trainers I cherish, my suede Golas. If you are not familiar with the glory of Gola, get hip and click on the link: http://www.golaclassics.com/
