Patrick Brealey & the Knives Concert Announcements

I'm just back from Lake of the Woods, where I spent four days swimming and fishing. The mercury hit 36C in the daytime and dropped to a low of 26C in the evening. As my grandfather says, it was hot as the hubs of Hades.

In my inbox when I returned, a note from Patrick Brealey awaited, announcing upcoming Patrick Brealey & the Knives concerts. Regular Up in Ontario blog readers will be familiar with my laudatory remarks for PB & the Ks, and if you haven't seen them put on a show, well, let's just say you owe it to yourself to do so. Hear a sample song from the Official Patrick Brealey & the Knives website if you're into sampling from the bowl, or come out to the concert if you want to hear the raw, straight goods. From the esteemable P. hisself:

Hey everybody,

Good news! You don't have to hold your breath any longer wondering when Patrick Brealey & the Knives are going to play another show. The future is now. In fact, there are two shows to tell you about. Count 'em. Two. So lean in tight and I'll give you the scoop, ol' fashioned email-style.

The first show is hittin' this week. Friday, July 15th to be exact. So come to the Railway Club (579 Dunsmuir at Seymour) on the 15th and not only get a dose of Patrick Brealey & the Knives but also hear my favourite Vancouver band, The Yoko Casionos, and my favourite Vancouver band I was once a member of, The Salteens. It's going to be awesome. Like, really.

Next up, it's Thursday, July 21st, also at the Railway Club. That's right, two shows in less than a week. Man, you are in luck! Now you have no excuses. The show on the 21st will also be your chance to hear local rhapsodic popsters, Cinderpop, as well as Griffin House, a killer singer-songwriter straight from Nashville. It will also be awesome. Like, really really.

So there you have it. Hope you can make it to a show, if not both. I trust you are making the most of your summer.

Bye for now,
Patrick
