It is indeed an awesome double-bill. My only complaint is that the Toronto show isn't on a weekend...

Greedy!

^ haha I know. But I'm out of town a lot for work during the week, and I missed the Weakerthans last time they came this way for that very reason. Might have to book myself a vacation day for this one to ensure I'm not sent away that week.

My friend in London has been gloating over the fact that they get a Friday show. I might join her, depending on my schedule.

Two nights? Friday AND Saturday? I love Vancouver.

WOW
See them in Calgary at Mac hall with 2000 people, or go to Banff the next night and see them in great bar...hmmmm

or head up north a few hours and see them in the best venue in town.

I'm seriously considering buying tickets for both shows and making a weekend out of it.

Just bought my tickets for the Calgary show!

Do you think they'll play Buffalo and/or Cleveland? Town Ballroom would be a great venue for this double bill.

tour starts soon.

looks like the cons spent some time in bath. http://jeremyrjansen.blogspot.com/

check this site soon. http://rollingtundra.exclaim.ca/

also look for a few of the guys from the cons to do some solo shows on the off nights...

I've got tickets for the last Toronto show. Never been to the phoenix before, anybody know what it's like?

One of the bigger GA clubs I've been too. Decent enough sound. and there's a bit of a balcony at the back. I can imagine it being a little crammed for this gig. It's probably the only venue they could have played, though there are definitely better ones in Toronto.

From CBC Radio 3:

It's so close you can almost hear the rumble of the Rolling Tundra Revue - the coast-to-coast tour that features the Weakerthans and the Constantines - and to mark the occasion, the Cons have just released Too Slow For Love, a companion EP to their acclaimed full-length, Kensington Heights.

Recorded at the Bathouse in Kingston, Too Slow For Love features alternate version of four tracks from Kensington Heights, which the Associated Press named Rock Album of the Year in 2008, as well as stripped-down versions of songs from Tournament of Hearts, Shine A Light and more.

The EP is available for free with the purchase of Kensington Heights, and for now, you can pick up both for $5.99 at the Arts & Crafts store or iTunes.

The Rolling Tundra Revue kicks off this Thursday in St. John's Newfoundland, and will travel right across Canada to Victoria, BC and up to Whitehorse, YT.

Too Slow For Love Track list:

1. Young Lions (Stripped down version, originally from Shine A Light)
2. Shower of Stones (Stripped down version, originally from Kensington Heights)
3. Conductor (Stripped down version, originally from Tournament of Hearts)
4. Our Age (Stripped down version, originally from Kensington Heights)
5. Strange Birds (originally by Jon Langford & The Sadies)
6. Do What You Can Do (Stripped down version, originally from Kensington Heights)
7. I Will Not Sing A Hateful Song (Stripped down version, originally from Kensington Heights)
