    Quite upset I didn't get to go to their Van show. I had a ticket, but was forced to go to my hockey game.
    Anyways, what kind of setlist. I have been listening to the last two albums non-stop for like a month now. AWESOME, awesome music.
    Any word on another tour this way?

  • I was so excited to hear Wintersleep played on The Vinyl Cafe on sunday morning!! I always knew Stuart McLean was the coolest guy ever!! :D

    At my parents house, the radio is always tuned to CBC, so on Sunday morning, I was watching TV in the basement, and my mom was upstairs on the computer, listening to the radio. When I heard that opening note of Weighty Ghost I started shouting "Wintersleep!!! Wintersleep!!!" from the basement and ran upstairs.... just at the same time, my mom pokes her head out of the computer room, saying "Hey! That band you like is on the radio!"

    haha... my family is so sick of hearing my talk about these guys.... :o:D

    Damn, looks like the pre-sale tix are sold out. When I click the link on the Wintersleep site, I get a message saying "there are no products available in this category" or something like that. I gues I'll have to try on Saturday morning for the public on-sale.

    damn... sorry to hear that... :(
    to tell you the truth, i didn't actually click the link yesterday to see if the tickets were there.... i just assumed... :o

    i'm a bit suprised if they're sold out... there was only one post about it on their forum... and no replies... :confused:

    Hey direwolf I just tried (through Ticketmaster) and was able to get a ticket for the pre-sale. Try "sonic" for a password and that should get you through.

    The tickets are a little pricey, but I think it would be worth it just to see the Hip, Wintersleep, Sammy Roberts, and Tom Petty all at the same show. The rest of the lineup isn't too shabby either.
