A day late, but definitely not a dollar short! This last episode before our summer hiatus is jam-packed with myboytheriotgirl classics, sprinkled with a few new songs and a mingling of some tracks from underplayed albums from some of our favourite artists.
What three-hour show would be complete without some New Pornographers, Sparklehorse, Spoon, Fiery Furnaces, The Elected, Electrelane, Hefner etc.? The fact that many of the bands that we built this show on year after year are no longer making new music illustrates part of the reason for this break. As Mike likes to say, “indie-rock is a young person’s game”. We don’t have as much time to see late night shows, or listen to music with the attention this show requires.
We haven’t committed to never doing another show, but for now we’re taking a break. We’re going to be focusing on community, family and weeding! But before we do that, Mike and I wanted to leave you with a three-hour show that will hopefully find it’s way into your summer rotation. We think it will sound as good by the lake as it will on a train or in a car or in the garden. Enjoy!
