Canada Day At O'Hanlon's

Sled Island

We had the pleasure of playing Calgary's Sled Island Festival again last weekend. Thanks to everyone who came to our show at the Underground! As usual the festival was a blast - blurs and streaks of running from venue to venue trying to catch as many bands as possible. Highlights included:

Yukon Blonde - Best buddies who've recently relocated to Vancouver and are going to take over when they finish their full length record.

Rural Alberta Advantage @ Broken City - This show was magic. You could feel the energy and excitement vibrating all through the room. They're on tour right now, maybe you can go see them!

Monotonix @ Tubby Dog - Insane show, great notdog.

York Redoubt - Energetic kids from Halifax who shared the stage with us at The Underground. We are all fans now.

Woodhands @ The Legion - The crowd was making the floor bounce up and down so violently during their set that I believe the building nearly collapsed. Such is the power of Woodhands' keytar rock.

Brasstronaut @ The Palomino - Indie/Jazz fusion. Their forthcoming album is going to blow minds.

We also saw Andrew WK which was a long time coming and Paul got his picture taken with Nardwuar the Human Serviette. We'll be posting that soon.

ONE MORE THING:

Library Voices are featured on the CBC Radio 3 podcast this week.

Listening to it made me so happy that I get to play music in this band.

It's May 15th and still snowing in Saskatchewan.

Sled Island

Hey All,
LV is proud to announce they'll be playing Sled Island again this summer. The initial line up was released last week and includes Andrew W.K., Malajube, Holy Fuck, Woodhands, and Final Fantasy. Anyone want to meet up for lunch at Buddha's Veggie?

On the road again...

There's something to be said for being a travelling band. You inevitably find yourself emerged in scenarios that would just never occur in your day to day life. You find yourself plugging dozens of quarters into an arcade game you don't even really care for just to pass the time. You're forced to visit gas station washrooms that use paper filters full of used coffee grinds as an air freshener. You spend (literally) hours playing the "Name Game" with movie titles as if you were competing for your life. You listen to Joe Cocker's Live album atleast once a day.

Thanks for everyone who came out to show in Saskatoon on Saturday and to everyone in Alberta who made it out to the K-os dates. It was great to see some old friends and meet some new ones. We just wanted to take a moment to let everyone at the Calgary show know that despite the terrible tumble he took off of the barricade, our beloved robot Emiglio is healing quickly from his injuries and we expect him to make a full recovery in time for our tour in July. Oh yea, by the way, we're headed back out on the road for the better part of July.

Our beloved friend Chris Graham took the above photo at some salt flats. We'll be posting his photos from the trip all week!
