January 17th: Wintertime
A happy New Year to everyone, we hope 2012 is a good one for you all. Our free Christmas single titled 'New Year' is still available at the link below if anyone missed out.
We have a couple of wintery shows this January, first off we're in Calgary this Saturday at The Area for 'Winter Retreat' with a bunch of Edmonton and Calgary bands. This was arranged by our friends at Sparrow Tree Productions, you can read all about these wonderful people here.
Then at the end of the month we will be playing 'The Tip of the Iceberg Festival' at Churchill Sqaure with a plethora of Edmonton talent, we're on at 9pm, but there will be music from 12pm, it's in a giant heated tent so there is no excuse not to go all day.
And finally 'hollow ponds' is popping up on various 2011 lists including CKUA's top 100 and CBC's Key of A 'Best of Alberta 2011'. Thanks again to anyone who bought this album or just enjoyed a song from it at some point.

Autumn is kind of creaking into Edmonton at the moment but we won't let the cold keep out spirits down. If you want to avoid leaving the house though we have a couple of suggestions to keep your ears warm.
The kind people over at CBC's The Key Of A recorded our show at The Communitea earlier this year and have now made it available online as part of CBC2's Concerts on Demand. The whole show can be heard here.
Also for your listening pleasure, the wonderful Luka Symons is back sharing her unique musical tastes with a monthly podcast for Kerf Music that can be downloaded here. She was kind enough to include the track 'Freeland' from 'hollow ponds' on her lastest edition.
Also, the end of this month will see us joining Jesse Dee and Jacquie B to celebrate the release of their great new album 'Our Ghosts Will Fill These Walls.' The 3 Alberta dates are:
Friday 23rd September: The Hideout, Red Deer
