Um...
So Matt Mays & El Torpedo are playing in Charlottetown this weekend, and it appears I'm going to the Saturday show.
Yeah, don't you love how I try to make it sound as if this stuff just sort of happens to me and I have no idea how.
Obviously I don't expect you to fall for it.
I guess I should get my oil changed before I go, though... -

As I mentioned in my previous post, I was at the Marquee on Friday and Saturday night. I'd had the Friday night ticket for quite a while, but when the whole business about having to go home happened I thought I'd have to get rid of it. But by the time I knew my travel dates I also knew I had to come straight back home because of Mitzi, so I ended ( Read more... ) -
Third weekend post--two videos from the Marquee
Since I had to come home anyway for Mitzi, I ended up at both Matt Mays shows at the Marquee. More on that when I get a chance, but in the meantime I got a couple of videos:
Friday: Matt and friends play "Season To Leave," an old Guthries tune (Matt's first major band.)
Saturday: Evan from Gloryhound & the Skyhawks sings lead on "El Camino," by ( Read more... ) -
First of the big Marquee send-off shows
So I got a message from the MattMays.com mailing list that Matt and El Torpedo, plus openers The Arkells, will be playing a final show at the Marquee on January 23rd. (Final show for the venue, I mean. Not the band. Sorry if I scared anyone there.)
Anyway, the presale is on now, and yes, of course I have already taken advantage of it ( Read more... ) -

Okay. This was quite a weekend. I know there are a bunch of folks on the f'list who have no interest in the musical posts (I'm not complaining, y'all, to a large extent the musical posts are actually aimed at people in Halifax who are not even on LiveJournal) and this is going to be a long one, so I plan to make use of LJ-cut technology ( Read more... ) -
A weekend full of music!

Video from MuchOnDemand last September
Matt Mays & Adam Baldwin interviewed on MuchOnDemand
Sadly, I can't download the clip, but it seems to allow for direct linking.
Yes, Adam is the same Adam who used to be in Gloryhound & the Skyhawks.
The interviewer, incidentally, is now the host of So You Think You Can Dance Canada. She gets points for being less silly-bubbly than some female ( Read more... ) -
I was coming to post something else, but--
--Here's the new video from Matt Mays & El Torpedo, for "Building A Boat":
Which is quite literally about building a schooner. Including what may not be actual footage of the Bluenose, but sure as heck looks like it.
Where's that band from, again?? -
Matt Mays & El Torpedo tour dates/ US release

Allow me to recommend this item to you. No really. You'll love it.
In honour of the event, here is a link to the e-card on the band's Web site. It lists the dates the band will be playing in the ( Read more... )
