Big Update 10/29
Hey guys,
We have a few really important things to share as we approach the weekend, so here it goes…
1) We are very excited to welcome Northcote to the Black Box family! Northcoate is the solo moniker of Matt Goud, former member of Means and The Emerson Letters. Matt has been layign low since Means parted ways at this time last year, and has recorded a phenomenal EP called “Borrowed Chords, Tired Eyes” that will be released for purchase online and off-stage later this month. You can hear the EP in its entirety on the Northcote - MySpace. Also check out the upcoming November tour dates with Andy Shauf.
2) Living With Lions have finally announced more Canadian Dates, after almost a year working hard down in the States. They’ll trek up this way following The Fest 8 in Gainesville, and head across Canada with our good friends/up and comers, Toronto’s Brighter Brightest. Check the tour section for all the details, and keep an eye out for a new Brighter Brightest video coming to your internet/tv very soon.
3) Shad is in Toronto working hard on his follow up to 2007’s ‘The Old Prince’. He is playing some select dates though, including his first headline performance in New York City at Pianos on November 4th. If you’re planning to be in the Big Apple, or have friends in the area please spread the word! And stay tuned for new music!
4) Skate4Cancer is in the Aviva Community Fund competition. We started the competition about 3 weeks late, and about 3000 votes behind. As of today, we have taken the lead by about 250 votes! If you have already voted, thanks for your support - and please keep voting once a day so we can maintain/build our lead! If you haven’t voted yet, WHY NOT?? Do it now! VOTE!
5) The Wooden Sky is home from tour, and gearing up for their next run of dates through Ontario and Quebec in November! Check out all the dates in the tours section, and make sure to pick up your tickets for the Toronto date ASAP - this will not be a show to miss. Info is here!
Thats all for now. Thanks for reading!
