You can start feeding the starving bar staff from 9pm on Friday 30th July. Don’t forget to RSVP on Facebook so you can get their hopes up. This is also useful if you need to prove to someone that you really have something to do that night.

Friday nights at the Wine Cellar are cool fun, so it’s pretty awesome that they’re letting us spread out music all over the place this Friday 9th July. Black Science is joining us on the carpet to play some sweet tunes. Doors open at 8pm, and we’ll be all wrapped up by 11pm so you can get a good night’s sleep to do whatever noisy junk you do while I’m trying to sleep on Saturday mornings like a normal person.

Don’t forget to RSVP on Facebook so you can export it to your iCal and have your iPhone tweet it to you on the airplane.

Late notice on this one, but we’re playing live on 95bfm here in Auckland tomorrow morning as their Fancy New Band. Tune in to the Morning Glory and hear us rant and sing from about 10:15am. It will be our pleasure.

If you’re not Auckland-radio equipped it’s streaming live on the interwebs, also.

Last November we threw a little show at the Wine Cellar, which was actually our first show as a band. It was the release party for Beg Steal and Burrow, and our good friend Mr Slackjaw was going to join us in support. Things didn’t work out and Mr Slackjaw couldn’t play, but we never forgot that it was a great idea.

My point is: we’ve finally knitted our schedules together to put on a show on Saturday June 5. From the Facebook event page:

Promises were made, when Canadia and Mr Slackjaw were younger, promises of fidelity and rockingness. But life, o life! as it so often does had other plans for this lad and lass.

Spun out on some separate trip, they’re only just now getting pinned down at the party pit that is the Wine Cellar. Bride of Pinbot will serve as celebrant, and you’re all bridesmaids.

Excuse me while I walk around and drink some more.

You may know Bride of Pinbot from these awesome teaser videos, or you may just know Bride of Pinbot. I ain’t no scientist. I’m a dancer. I will see you on the science floor. Dance floor. Whatever.

Yule’s coming out of some kind of hiatus with a new band line-up next Thursday 6 May, and Canadia is there, also. Come check the music action from 11pm at Whammy Bar for radness and radulence.

Make it official and RSVP on the Facebook event.

I finally took the plunge and got Canadia aggregated a couple weeks back, simply because I realised that sometimes I wanted to browse the iTunes store on my iPod Touch and look at my own music. That is an important part of life.

And so it goes that Canadia now lives on iTunes. And on Amplifier and Digirama. It should be on the Vodafone Music Store soon, and it could already be on the Telecom Music Store (I don’t have a fancy XT phone to find out). Don’t say I don’t provide options!

The music is till available for however much or little you want to pay at Bandcamp, where you can also find Beg Steal and Burrow can still be had on good old faithful CD.

We have smiling faces, and we will be selling them to you at Whammy Bar on Thursday 4th February from 4pm. Come join us, Voices on the Sun and Cool Rainbows for a party-time gigsplosion.

Raised by were-rabbits, Canadia, Voices and the Sun and Cool Rainbows are as deadly as they are not dead. They’ve been shunning the sun and bathing in the sound of art critics complaining about the demise of culture to prepare for this night.

Lazerbeasts unite, it’s going to be a sweat night.

Doors at 10, the music asplodes at your face from 11pm. Bring $5 because that will get you in the door. Only your wits will get you out.

Facebook event for Canadia, Voices on the Sun, Cool Rainbows

Tomorrow night Canadia is hitting the Juice Bar in Parnell to support the crap out of Dunedin dudes Julian Temple Band. A few of us have known these cats since they were the JuJu crew, and perhaps even before. They’re from Dunedin, which is where some of us used to be from. Sharing and caring around the country!

So you should be at the Juice Bar by about 9pm to catch Canadia’s first Parnell gig. Will we be run out of the suburb? I just don’t know! Juice Bar is in the Windsor Castle at 144 Parnell Road, Parnell. I think I might get there early and have a picnic dinner down in Fraser Park. Please do not stalk me in a scary way!

I happened across Subterranes making with a soundcheck down in the catacombs of St Kevins Arcade a while back, and suggested we play a gig. None of us ever make it out of the tunnels, so of course the gig is at Whammy Bar. Allure City have been coaxed back to the gigface to join us in raucity (it’s a word, I looked it up).

Meanwhile, the EP. Did you get a copy? Lucky soldier! Missed out? Not for long.

There it is. Listen, download, enjoy. You can pay for it, or you can get the whole thing for free in exchange for an email address. We’ll pop your email address on our mailing list, but you can totally unsubscribe if you don’t want exciting news from the future. I understand if you’re not ready.

For those who like shiny discs and want to hold Hannah JV’s hot photography in their hands (this is everyone) you can buy the CD for only $15 $16 including p&p anywhere in the world (I miscalculated) $13.50 including shipping in New Zealand, NZ$16.50 including shipping anywhere else..
