Is anyone even hitting tonights show?
I have not heard any talk about Woodstock En Beauce.

What does everyone think that this edition of the World Container tour will be like? Same as the rest - 18 songs or so and a cover?
Any predictions? Just trying to drum up a little enthusiasm.

They played a secret show downtown at the Cantos Music Museum today, and my ears are still recovering from the hearing loss I suffered at the hands of Jack White's ridiculously loud guitar. I was standing about 5 feet from Jack & Meg as they ripped through a short, but kick-ass 40 minute set. A buddy of mine works in the industry here in town and he had the honor of shuttling the band around in a van this morning. Long story short, he called me around 1:00 and told me where the show was taking place and I jumped in my car and headed down there as quickly as I could. The band didn't officially announce it until 2pm on their messageboard, so luckily I was the first person there. By the time the band started playing, there were only about 40 or 50 people who had shown up. It was amazing! Unfortunately I didn't get any pictures or anything, but I'm sure the entire thing will be up on Youtube by the end of the day. I also snagged a t-shirt for only $5!

Oh, and Meg White is quite possibly the cutest woman alive. She's so tiny in person!

Just a little teaser preview of the upcoming shows at artpark:

<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.buffalonews.com/entertainment/gusto/story/109191.html">http://www.buffalonews.com/entertainmen ... 09191.html</a><!-- m -->

The Tragically Hip continues the “World Container” tour with a two-night stand in Lewiston’s Artpark, beginning at 8 p.m. Saturday and continuing Sunday at the same time. Both shows have been sold out since the day tickets went on sale to the public.

The band is a world-class album-rock ensemble, and its studio efforts have been consistently inspired across the span of its 20 years together. Live, however, the Hip is notorious for taking it all somewhere else. Singer Gordon Downie has transportive powers as a front man, and he’s more than eager to take the audience through the looking glass with him.

Once there, the band’s music — which, when stripped to its core components, is straightforward rock- and folk-based stuff — transcends itself, as Downie leads the proceedings like a mad carnival barker trying to break on through to the other side, the uber-tight rhythm section becomes hypnotic and sensual, and the twin guitars weave together into one. This usually happens by the end of the opening tune.

Hopefully, the Hip will wend its way back to our neck of the woods near the tour’s end. In the meantime, keep one eye on <!-- w --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.thehip.com">www.thehip.com</a><!-- w --> for the consistently updated “song of the day” and “featured video” content.

JOINED AT THE HIP: After 20 years, The Tragically Hip remains a big draw
BY Brent Hallenbeck GANNET NEWS SERVICE


Why is it, Gord Sinclair, that The Tragically Hip is so popular around these parts?

Sinclair, the band’s bass player, says their roots in Kingston, Ontario, which is a little more than a dozen miles from Watertown, places The Tragically Hip’s home base closer to a host of U.S. burgs than to Canadian cities. He also mentions their tendency to play sold-out shows in Vermont and their close proximity to New York.

When the band’s vocalist, Gordon Downie, sings about intrigue on the ice on “The Lonely End of the Rink” from the band’s new album, “World Container,” fans in hockey-absorbed communities say, “I hear ya.”

“World Container” is the 12th Tragically Hip album and they are currently touring nationwide through September. The band leaned on producer Bob Rock, who is known more for his work with hard rockers Metallica and Motley Crue and not so much with anthemic pop-rockers like The Tragically Hip.

“What he brought to us was a real focus on each individual song,” according to Sinclair, speaking recently by phone during a tour stop in Seattle. Rock helped refine the arrangement of “The Lonely End of the Rink,” Sinclair says, turning the track into a Who/U2/Midnight Oil-styled rampage that’s one of the disc’s highlights. His contributions weren’t all about frenzied moments, though; Sinclair says Rock also steered the band toward an elegant piano texture on the track “Pretend.”

“He just has a really focused ear,” Sinclair says. “He became the ersatz sixth member of the group.”

Speaking of The Who, an obvious influence, The Tragically Hip recently played several opening dates for the legendary British rockers. The Tragically Hip have been around more than 20 years and the band members are in their 40s, but they still feel a rush of teenage hero worship around The Who’s Roger Daltrey and Pete Townshend.

“It’s impossible to divorce yourself from when you’re 15 years old,” Sinclair says. “We grew up with that group.

”Opportunities like that make you a better band. You have to get up and you have to entertain these rabid Who fans,“ according to Sinclair. ”In terms of a dream come true, that’s right up there.“

The Tragically Hip might be aiming toward their own Who-like longevity. It’s already rare for a band to have the same five members it started out with more than two decades earlier. Sinclair says there are moments when they get together after time away and find themselves saying, ”How can we do this again?“ Yet they always manage.

”We’ve grown up together, put the band together as young men doing this. It’s based around our friendship and the bond we have as a group. It’s a collective experience, a shared experience,“ Sinclair says.

”It is a lifelong bond.“

I don't mean to plug my band on this site so much, but I feel I have the right to because I'm a huge fan of the hip....and pretty much worship them.

Anywho, my band The Deep Dark Woods will be playing 3 shows in Winnipeg this long weekend. We're playing Friday, and Saturday night at "The Times Changed, High and Lonesome Club", and then at the Canada Day street fair on Saturday (Not sure of the time). Come on out, it'l be a great time.

Check out our music at:

myspace.com/deepdarkwoods
Sonicbids.com/thedeepdarkwoods

We have a new album coming out Aug 14th through Black Hen Records in Vancouver....the album will be distributed across Canada through Koch. Our new songs won't be up on our myspace untill next weekish, so I'll post a link then.

Anyone else getting pumped for the show(s) up at the "Kee" next week? Its been 'Hip-Only' on the iPod for the past few days, and I don't see that changing until after the concert.

I've got a room at the Bala Bay Inn (ripoff), we might have a bonfire on the nearby public beach after the show or something if anyone is around. If anyone is up for some pre-show liver excersises we're game for that as well.

More importantly though, I've already got 4 tickets to Thursday's show, but have another person that wants to come along. If anyone has an extra ticket or a friend that bails last minute, lemme know!
