    Still mad at the Hip for no Fiddler's Green x5 US shows, damnit. Even front row at the Who concert with a sign, they chuckled! But Johnny Fay did walk his drum sticks out to me at the end of their set *big grin* =))))
    Just me

    I absolutely love this band now. I've only been listening to them for a few weeks, but everytime I finish an album, I have to go out and get another one. I pretty much have their whole discography now and just can't stop listening to them. They remind me a lot of PJ in many ways.

    Amazing band is all I can say. I need to see them live sometime-- Live in Between is a great album.

    Hey Folks,

    Spring has sprung and we are excited to share our latest news.

    We have begun recording our follow up to World Container. We will be spending much of the spring and summer with our good friend Bob Rock who is at the helm once again.

    That being said, we will take a few breaks in the recording process along the way...

    First will be a visit to Rideau Hall in Ottawa this May where we will be honoured with the 2008 National Arts Centre Award at a gala for the Governor General's Performing Arts Awards.

    We will also pause to celebrate the summer outdoors with some of our friends and favourites.

    On Saturday June 21st we will be performing at Big Music Fest in Belleville, Ontario. Joining us will be the Sam Roberts Band, Sarah Harmer and Attack In Black. The show is at Zwick's Park. Presale for Registered Users of thehip.com starts this Wednesday April 2nd at 10:00am. Public onsale starts Friday April 4th at 10:00am. Tickets are $49.50.

    Visit http://www.thehip.com for all the details on the presale and public onsale.



    On Saturday July 26th we will hit the west coast to play the inaugural Pemberton Festival. This is a great 3-day lineup featuring Coldplay, Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers, Nine Inch Nails, Jay-Z and many more.

    Tickets for Pemberton are on sale now and available at the festival website. Visit the site for all festival details at http://www.pembertonfestival.com.

    Meh.

    Prefer if they went with someone else. I like WC enough as a one off Hip Pop record, but I'd prefer more substance next time round.

    Why do all good concerts have to be in June? I think I'll be able to attend, but add that to a few PJ shows, Bonnaroo, a DMB road trip and REM..ouch, that's a lot of music in 1 month.

    I agree it was certainly a more pop-oriented record than their previous efforts, mostly due to the inclusion of "In View", "Pretend" and "World Container". But let's not forget, Bob Rock didn't write those songs. The Hip did. The only thing Bob did was add a little extra gloss to the recording process. When the album first came out, I mistakenly assumed that Bob had a hand in creating the sugary-sweet pop rock of "In View", but when I checked the liner notes, all I found was the usual "all songs written & performed by The Tragically Hip". The cool thing about this band is that you never know what you're gonna get from album to album. This next record could be a full-on punk rock album for all we know. (wouldn't that be cool?)

    Sweetness! I wasn't sure if the boys were going to hit Cowtown this summer. Day 2 definitely has the better lineup.
