So we’re playing this weekend in Montreal and Ottawa. On Friday night at The Playhouse (one of Montreal’s strangest venues, but very accessible to lazy Mile-Enders at 5656 Parc, corner Bernard) with The Man Machine<\/a> (one of the best bands in Montreal at the moment, IMHO) and Ottawa anthem-mongers Street Meat<\/a>, then Saturday night in Ottawa with Street Meat and Toronto’s experimental hip-hop artist garbageface<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In my entirely unbiased opinion, these shows will be pretty awesome – a chance to see the WP band in our glorious new post-apocalyptic attire (by our new costume designers Vanessa and Laurence), performing songs from our upcoming new album as well as classics demanded by the public.<\/p>\n

They’ll also be your last chance to see us for at least a few months (unless we get a really great offer, which is known to happen from time to time) – Stacey, Steve and I are taking some time off from the WP to concentrate on our roles as sidemen in Lion Farm<\/strong>, the new band (so new we’re not even online!) fronted by my longtime friend and collaborator Michael Aronson aka Mike Foxxx, who old-school\/hardcore WP fans may remember as the lead singer and songwriter of Toronto underground rock powerhouses Rock ‘n’ Roll Bad Boy XXXpress<\/strong> and Seventy Whore<\/strong> (bands so old<\/em> we’re not even online, though I did recently discover some rare archival video of RRBBXXX in our heyday which I will get around to posting one of these days).<\/p>\n

In other Montreal cultural news, if you missed The Delian Mode<\/a>, the award-winning film by WP keyboardist\/videographer Kara Blake<\/a>, it’ll be screening this Thursday as part of an electronic-music-pioneers double bill at Blue Sunshine<\/a>. Highly recommended.<\/p>\n

Finally, wanted to share this link <\/a>where Brian Eno lays down some seriously thought-provoking musical musings. Yes, it’s on the apparently-no-longer-hip Bitchfork, but still well worth checking out.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
