Song for the Gang

Thrush Hermit. A much beloved band when I was too under-aged to get into their shows. And then the broke up.

Luckily for me, one of my teenaged hopes that someday "Thrush Hermit will get back together and play a show" came true! (Ah, the non-reality based problems of being young). They're actually play many shows around the East Coast and Ontario:

True Patriot Love

Happy Canada Day Folks! I know you love your country, and so do these guys. They drop names like it's hot! And I know you secretly love it too when you hear an obscure geographic reference close to your heart. Like the name of your hometown or the CN Tower or the fact that the background for the Barenaked Ladies "Lovers in a Dangerous Time" video was filmed five minutes from where you live.
