...just ordered a copy.

From the band's website:

------------------------------------------------
Hey Folks,
City of Sirens is a little more than a week away from being ready to go - well alright!

In the meantime you can hear three songs from the album at our myspace page.

And - you can pre-order a signed copy of the album from MapleMusic.com.

We're looking forward to playing the new material (and many favourites) for you at the Black Sheep Inn (Wakefield, QC) May 30 and 31, at Hugh's Room (Toronto) June 5,6 and 7 and the rest of this beautiful, rather large country of ours later in the summer and fall.

Hello Beautiful Life from City of Sirens will be featured in this Saturday's Toronto Star (May 24) in John Sakamoto's Anti Hit List column as well as on his AHL podcast.
Stay tuned...

------------------------------------------------

They played 'Hello Beautiful Life' when I saw them in December and 'An Honest Day's Work' is from the Cash Bros + Skydiggers album.

A new Skydiggers album? Great news! I had no idea they were even in the studio. Their last album, "Bittersweet Harmony" was fantastic, as was the self-titled album they made with the Cash Brothers. I'm definitely looking forward to hearing this.

Great show/full band:

Good take on 'I will give you everything>It's a pity>I will give you everything'...

They've got a show coming up in Toronto on Nov. 1st at the Mod Club Theatre. I'm going - it'll be nice to see these guys again.
