    I still can't get enough of the new album. It's been on constant rotation since the day I bought it. I can't wait till these guys come back to Calgary.
    "I try my best to chug, stomp, weep, whisper, moan, wheeze, scat, blurt, rage, whine, and seduce. With my voice I can sound like a girl, the boogieman, a Theremin, a cherry bomb, a clown, a doctor, a murderer. I can be tribal. Ironic. Or disturbed. My voice is really my instrument."

    -Tom Waits

    I'm the same way. That CD rarely leaves my player. Can't wait to see them on the 15th. Are you not making the trek North to Edmonton to check 'em out?

    I know.... can't make it :(
    Any news on any more UK dates? (crosses everything crossable)


    No news yet but i can't imagine they are gonna come all this way and not play some other dates. I think some road trips may be in order, this makes me happy

    it was great, they rocked it. The jam at the end kicked ass, they were all over the place. Small crowd, under 200 people. They should be in fine form this evening. Have fun. :)

    You rocked out, you rolled out, you did scream, and you did shout! :D

    And thanks again for asking me to the show, I had a great time! :) I have beeeeeeeeeeen converted. Hee Hee! I did springawake to the sounds of Wintersleep!!! :p

    Guitars were heavy, the sound was tight, the crowd was pretty sizable for the Phoenix, (even the band was pleasantly surprised by the crowd's size), and they put on a great show. I was very impressed. :)

    How was the next morning? And the frozen, cold tundra...around the icy hole...waiting patiently with a pole...thank the stars for copius amounts of alki-hol, eh?? :p

    hello, my lovely! :D I'm so glad you had fun at the show! LMAO... springawake!!! when we start our Wintersleep cover band, that's what we should call it! ;)

    I downloaded my pics... a couple of them turned out ok.. i'll try to get them posted tonight....

    the next morning was good.. thank goodness for adrenaline! was in bed by 2am, and up again at 5am, on the bus by 6:30, tea & crown royal by 7:00.... The fishing was good for most people... a little slow for me (only caught 3)... but a fun time, as always!

    Not sure if this is the right place to ask, but does anyone know of two available tickets for the show at the Commodore in Vancouver?
    If so, please pm me and my brother and I'd love to go!

    You mean you missed Joel's 6 straight night stint at the Horseshoe Tavern in December? When that place was celebrating it's 60th birthday. An event that saw the likes of Gord D, Sarah H, Gordie J, Joel's Dad etc etc all sharing the stage with Joel Plaskett and The Emergency.

    As much as I love Wintersleep...2007 was Joel's year. Incredible talent going on there!

    Yours to discover ;)
