Oh man late notice but you can still make it: Canadia is playing at Wine Cellar tonight for the Auckland Zinefest after-party. Also on the bill are Wilberforces, Mothers of Darkness, Ghost Wave, Hold Dear and The Literatti. The gig is free to get in, and will span both Wine Cellar and Whammy from 7pm.

It’s also not too late to hit the Auckland Zinefest in St Kevin’s Arcade until 4pm. See you at the after-after-party.

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.

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.

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.

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!

For the complete radcore experience you should confirm your attendance over on Facebook.

Be rad to each other.

I will make it, that I promise. Careful observers will not that another show has been slipped into the schedule. Canadia is opening for Mahoney Harris as she releases an EP with the assistance of Hannah Curwood and Tom Healy on Thursday 8th October. It’s at the Wine Cellar from 8pm, and will be a solo Ashley performance.

And of course the long-awaited Canadia feat. Maggie Williams on being a laptop happens on Saturday 10th at Dogs Bollix, playing on the Inverts‘ release tour. I’ll finally take Maggie on stage with me to bash out some Canadia laptop classics, and (fingers crossed) a couple of new jams from the EP.

Five songs mixed, now. Sleep, work, mix the next. Byes.
