Gomez because they don't come here enough, The Arkells because they're an awesome local band!

    +1 for Gomez. I would be in heaven.

    Don't know the Arkells but i'd take Band of Horses too. I know they have a new one coming out soon
    “I know this song so well, I can smoke a cigarette, have a drink, brush my teeth, take a shit, and mow the lawn while singing it. But I'll only be doing a couple of those things during this version.”

    I have not heard anything of The Arkells...but I will definitely check them out on utub.
    As far as Gomez goes.... fuck yeaaah!

    Glad to see some support. May 29th is going to be a blast but one Gomez show for the full year? That's hurting. The Arkells are great, check out their CD Jackson Square, I think they're managed by Jeremy Taggart, maybe he can make some phonecalls! (Matt might have bailed him out on Spiritual Machines but he still owes Jer for getting him to sub in on a video with Chad Kroger :D )

    I'm in the process of listening to Oh, The Boss Is Coming by The Arkells, and they're pretty damn good! :P

    I think Pearl Jam should consider The Trews for an opener in Toronto! The Trews are absolutely fuckin awesome!

    Yes, The Trews are certainly incredible. I've seen them a mere 3 times and yearn for more. I have yet to see Arkells as well, but either would be a good choice.

    Haha. That'd be funny... I saw them at Ricoh a few years ago, it was a blast. Dave wearing a Satan suit on drums, Charlie Chaplin on bass :lol:
    That said, I'd love to see Ben Harper with Relentless 7 open the Toronto show.
