Hey all – sorry, just realized the link to Ghost Trees was down in my last post. If you go back, it now works.
Also to take note is the show in my backyard with Lars Ludvig Lofgren is now Saturday instead of Friday. Let me know if you want to come!
And one more thing – they will be playing again next Friday at the Only Cafe, so if you can’t make it this weekend definitely try for next weekend (although yours truly won’t be able to make it, unfortunately.)

Two awesome Canadian bands have recently been featured on the Daytrotter sessions – a website that features a band every day with hit tracks and occasionally some that you can’t find anywhere else. You can download or just listen to these tracks, along with reading a nice intro by creator Sean Moeller.
Yesterday, Junior Boys were featured as a brilliant and energizing start to September. It makes it quite easy to at least ward off the autumn blues a little bit longer. Moeller writes, “They grab us softly by the wrists and glide us out onto the floor as if we were on rollers and caught up in some kind of tailwind that was gently affecting our stance to remain stationary and just get a respectable buzz on, moving us slowly out into the night of abandonment, into an evening that won’t likely get us into any form of trouble that couldn’t be corrected or blotched out.”

You can read more and download tracks “Bits and Pieces,” “Birthday” and “The Animator” here.
Today, Moeller is repping the much-talked-about band-around-town[Toronto] these days, Rural Alberta Advantage. They coax the leaves to fall early, but in a way that will bring a sweet release, as front man Nils Edenloff sings “the air is unbearably hot for the night” on “The Air,” the first track available for download/listen. Moeller says, “He writes songs about the dead, for the living, as if to slap them broadly across the unsuspecting cheeks to remind them that they’re still able to wake up in the mornings and that alone is a very fine thing, an advantage that allows for feeling the blood go through you, for feeling the pain course (not always so horrible) and for feeling any kind of feeling you’d please or wouldn’t please.” Sounds incredibly right for a changing of the seasons, doesn’t it?
