Westward bound

Ah, Brampton! The “young oasis” of Peel Region, the Star called it. The city beside the city above Toronto. And the next destination for the Flickershow road show!

We’ll be playing there this very Thursday at the Bleu Lounge - right downtown on Queen St West, opening for our good friends Nigel Barnes, Gloria Hall and band (including Eli on bass). Plenty of great tunes and fun to be had… we hope to see you there.

Track of the Fortnight: “Linger”

This one’s a bit late, but appropriately enough, it’s a song about the pleasures of taking your time. An important thing indeed, especially when it comes to sweet, sweet lovin’.

Street Party!

“When we eat, dance, and play in the streets together we’re sowing the seeds of community.”

For one day every month, from May to October, Kensington Market’s main thoroughfares close to car traffic to make room for people. It’s a great party, and this Sunday, Flickershow will be there!

We’ll be sharing the stage with The Kindly Ones, Aaron Bentley, and Simon Loban, and it’s all happening from 1pm to 7, at St Andrew and Kensington (near the Moonbean Coffee Co.) Flickershow will be on later in the afternoon. And though parental duty prevents Clark from drumming with us this weekend, Richie Weisdorf (also of Some of the Parts) will be joining us on keyboards - he’s also been working with us on the long-rumoured Next Flickershow CD.

Track of the Fortnight: “To The Nines”

Another one from our set at C’est What, from March of last year.

Track of the Fortnight: “Catch-22”

Got a live one for you this time: recorded at C’est What on March 7th last year, here’s “Catch-22”. (We’re working on an alternate version now, with more of a Latin groove to it.)
