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!

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!
