Canadia Beats

For the last three years on October 23 Canadia has graced the floor at Auckland’s Wine Cellar. There was a solo gig in 2008 (can’t remember who that was with), the Beg Steal and Burrow release in 2009, and a superb anniversary celebration in 2010.

Only, okay, so this year October 23 is a Sunday, which is just not going to work out too well for a gig, so we’re hosting Canadia Anniversary Day (Observed) this year on Friday October 21.

We’ve got Heartspells and Great North joining us, and it will be the debut show for our new guitarist Thomas Landon-Lane. He can really wail, guys! He had to take over when the might Blair Wayne moved to South Africa to become Ross Geller. Very proud we are of him! That’s Blair on the poster looking suave as all hell. I think that was the summer he worked on his music.

Get on down to the Facebook event, and we’ll see you at Wine Cellar on Friday October 21. First band on at 8pm.

I admit that this is pretty late to count as news, but last November we recorded a track at Little Monster studio for the A Very Little Christmas compilation. Which got released. Ages ago. Like, in time for Christmas.

Look, I was really busy in Decemeber, and I forgot to mention it. Don’t worry, I’ll make it up to you. We’re still good. We’re still good? Good.
