Breaking the Windsor Curse – Sat November 19

It’s official. Go to http://phoglounge.com/ and you will see that we are indeed coming to The Phog Lounge (Windsor, ON) Saturday November 19 and will be appearing with two great bands: Frontiers and Learning.  I shit you not.  I recently discussed this Windsor Myth thing with Dave from  CJAM’s (99.1FM)  Revolution Rock.  This interview will be aired on Tuesday morning (10AM).

Meanwhile, I’ve created a FACEBOOK EVENT.

See you soon,

UPDATE:  David K from Rev Rock has added this blogpost about us and the forthcoming show:

UPDATE: Dean has come down with a bad case of laryngitis and Bobby had a serious bout with food poisoning this week, but we still plan to come!  Our show may not be “top notch,”  but we are breaking this so called curse!

Aplogies to Windsor!

We’d like to apologize to anyone who was psyched about our recent (and second)  ill-fated Windsor show.  Due to unforeseen and mysterious (read logistical) circumstances we could not make the trip. We WILL, however visit you!  Plans are in the making as I write this. You are definitely on our map. We will  break this mysterious “Windsor Curse.”

Tuesday Happenings #6 — Album out Today!

Well . . . here we are . . . the final instalment of Tuesday Happenings.

Today is the official release date of our self-titled debut album as Papermaps.  That means stores across Canada will  get their copies today.  Slowly but surely (over the next few days) those records should get put in the bins (somewhere between  Papercuts  and Pavement) or even racked (as they say in the music biz).  If you are a record store stocking our record, let me take this opportunity to thank you! If you are not (but want to) you know where to get it.

Item 1: Virtual Ink
Today we are featured on Alan Cross’ very excellent and influential Explore Music site:

And the super keener blog, Panic Manual reviewed our record today (and are giving away free passes to our CD Release Party on April 29 at Sneaky Dees):

And we just love the review by our friends at Buying Shots for Bands:

Item 2: Radio, Radio
I did my first on-air interview (a phone in) with DJ and MD,  Rob Grant over on the very excellent West Coast station 103.5 FM  The Bridge. Man was I nervous!  In other big news, Todd called me up to inform me that he heard our song Reunion on the CBC One! Sure enough, they tweeted it  – – so a big thank you to our friends at the CBC!
