If the Tragically Hip really wanted to go out on a limb and give a young band a new chance, they should really consider touring with a band from New Brunswick called "Grand Theft Bus". They are extremely talented, and have several catchy tunes and are played on college radio here all the time. They play rock, but it is different than The Hip. I have never heard of the Joel Plaskett Emergency before their last tour, and now it seems that everyone is listening to them. Everyone here should check out Grand Theft Bus, I think. Their website is <!-- w --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.grandtheftbus.com">www.grandtheftbus.com</a><!-- w --> . Or if The Hip wanted to tour with someone who people have heard of before, I think it would be awesome if they toured with Matt Mays + El Torpedo (as was suggested earlier). Matt Mays is pretty solid, and would probably draw some fans just for him. Then they'd stick around to see The Hip and become converts :lol: .

I have seen them play a few times when I lived in Halifax. They are a Jam band, wouldn't work.
