We just read a blog post at blog.klangschau.com which is based in Switzerland. The post said that Dante DeCaro was not feeling well and had to leave the stage the other night in St. Gallen. Then we got a message that he did not play yesterday at the Bad Bonn Festival. So we hope Dante is feeling better and wish him a speedy recovery!
Wolf Parade will be playing this years Electric Picnic Festival in Ireland. The festival runs from September 3rd-5th, with Wolf Parade scheduled to play on Sunday September 5th. This years festival features some amazing bands including Fever Ray, Massive Attack, Modest Mouse, The National, Beach House, Jonsi, and so many others. Tickets are on sale now!
Handsome Furs are set to play the Apple store in Montreal on June 6th.
Live at the Apple Store: Handsome Furs
The metronomic, electronic beats and frail, breaking guitars of Montreal-based husband-and-wife duo Handsome Furs reflect a lifetime of visiting new places and absorbing the discoveries made along the way. Check out this worldly wise band and let them carry you away to distant musical lands during this special live performance.
The performance is free and the band will play from 7pm-8pm. Thanks to IndieQuebec.com for letting us know.
Just wanted to share with you the amazing print Jack Dylan created for the upcoming Montreal shows. A limited number of prints will be available to purchase at the shows in July. Stay tuned for more information on how to purchase this print online.
