"The Hip Not Done Yet Baker Says"


http://www.thewhig.com/2016/08/11/the-hi...baker-says


Just a side note, I found this on a Facebook post. It was a link by a local musician I am friends with (well Facebook friends with if that means anything) that actually does a lot of work with Rob and Gord S. Her name is Emily Fennell. Her exact post to this link was:

"Hahaha... There was NEVER anything from Hip camp stating anything about last album, tour or show. The media has done a shitty job of getting that right. There is no "hint". There was never anything stated that this was the final anything"

im glad bob baker tweeted that
gives me hope for a NYE show and maybe more!
had many great nye shows with this band
and especially suffice it to say i'm treating every show as if it's our last together

I admire that Canadian press was able to turn a tweet into a full news story.

I'm holding out for Newtonville, Shannonville, or Deseronto, myself.

"Down @ the Speedway" - Hip in Shannonville 2016!!

One week Mini tour also includes warm up dates: Springside Park in Napanee, The Ball diamond in Yarker and the country store parking lot in Camden East

A hilariously high % of "news" these days comes from politicians, athletes, etc. sending a tweet and the talking heads "reporting" on it.

And I love that they automatically spin it into the band continuing to tour when he was being incredibly vague for a reason. They never said they were not done either.

LOL, OK maybe I should have stated a Kingston OR Toronto show instead of corridor. But hey, I'll gladly see them wherever they want to play! :thumb:

Your're forgetting Deseronto though too, from what I hear, it is friends with Paul!

This was a funny quote too: "The Hip is a notoriously private band that typically rebuffs interview requests." Typically? This is the first tour in 30 years that the band haven't done press for.

I've heard rumours of a surprise acoustic set 'round Jim's fire pit in Madoc.

Fantastic Broken Road reference!

I couldn't make it to any Downie / Sadies show on that tour.

Would love to be able to sing along with Gordie at one of those shows.

*If it's Thursday, I'm freeeeeeeee*

Dallas told me 2 years ago that something was definitely in the works again.

that would be pure magic.

Not that this is relevant but I noticed something disturbing and funny at the same time and am only posting this because maybe it can get someone to laugh or smile..

Having said that I'l be damned if Gord S isn't Peter North's twin. The faces are almost identical.
