August Update

The Hipsters are taking a break from Pegasus August 15-29. We'll be back on September 5.

There are only five(!) copies of our first CD, Architects of Narghile, left for sale, in the world. Contact us if you want to buy one. We won't be reprinting it in yer standard CD format again, so act fast.

We'll be doing a short interior BC tour, though: Lorenzo's in Enderby, BC August 23. Theo's restaurant in Penticton, BC August 24. Minos restaurant in Kamloops, BC August 25.
The Bear's Paw Cafe and Sunset Theatre in Wells, BC August 26.

I haven't written anything about the Calgary Folk Festival yet - our concert was a litle disappointing; sabotaged by the stage crew we only got to play 30 minutes out of our scheduled 45. But the workshops, Vre Manga! Here's a nice review by an audience member of Brave New World, which was an enormous, sprawling jam with the Tuvan throat singers Chirgilchin and the Afghani-Canadian qawwali band Mushfiq Ensemble - http://www.calgaryfolkfest.com/users/news_view.asp?FolderID=2860&NewsID=130. The other show was with our good friend Geoff Berner and Montreal's Lubo Alexandrov (whose accordionist, Emil, knew all our songs and became a fast friend). Here's a note from someone who saw that show: http://nix-this.livejournal.com/49882.html . Many thanks to Kerry for inviting us back to this wonderful, utopic festival.
