Until you can write the letter I'm writing, you are the postman and I am the letterwriter!

If you've seen the movie Dig! you recognize the quote from above as one of those great lines from Anton from Brian Jonestown Massacre. But what I'm really getting at is that I'd like to write you once-a-month dispatches about the machinations of your favorite Americana Britpop band, Canadian Invasion.

To receive monthly news about the band, just fill out the form below. From time to time we'll have free downloads, contests, and more borderline insane schemes.

Yours,
Andy Canadian
