Hi friends,
Happy new year! Our first show of 2010 will be in front of a live studio audience at the Segal Center for CBC Radio 2’s Routes Montreal. The show will feature guest musicians Monica Guenter (viola) and Shawn Mativetsky (tabla). It all gets started at 7:30 and will set you back $10. We’ll be trying out a new track that will be released on our upcoming EP (summertime)
For more information check out the Routes Montreal site.
all our love,

You can download The Seven Seas from the good people at Indiecater Records based in Dublin, Ireland. According to their website “we only put out an album if it’s something that we’d buy ourselves.” I guess they like the album:)
