Hi everyone, Peter here. Goings on are slow right now but I wanted to mention some things that are coming up in the near future. The month of May will see NWD’s first gig in Quebec, and we’re pretty excited to play. We are playing with the Angry Parrots at Barfly, located at 4062 on good ol’ Boulevard St. Laurent. A quick google showed me that the Montreal Mirror voted Barfly the “Best Sleazy Dive” a couple of years ago, so we’re ready to get into ‘er.
Also, for those of you wrapped in tinfoil hanging around dorm rooms listening to Campus radio (at least that’s how it was in PEI), a new friend of ours Elfie is going to play some Northwest Division on his CIUT show, Rabid Ears. Tune in this Thurs, May 8. 89.5fm, 10pm-11pm.
Last but not least I wanted to give a big shout out to our friend James Hicken and his project the Wallscenery demos. Wallscenery is getting rave reviews like this one from Eye Weekly, and this one from It’s not the band I hate, it’s their fans. You can hear members of NWD make some cameo appearances in Jimmer’s quilted patchwork of psychedelic sounds. Whoa man, I just blew my own mind. For fans of Beck, Madlib, Guided By Voices or Galaxie 500.
Ok folks that’s it for now, stay tuned for info on iTunes availability (working on it) and our return to Guelph next month.
Beauty abounds,
Peter
