A Show of Patrick Brealey & the Knives

Patrick Brealey his own bad self writes to let me know of the show he's playing next Saturday, November 5th, at the Railway Club in Vancouver.

I know I've gone on quite a bit about PB & the Ks, but shit, just listen for yourself to some of their songs (try Escaper [MP3, 3:51] or Laughing on the Inside [MP3, 2:52] on for size) and I believe you'll know from whence my enthusiasm comes. And since PB his own bad self writes real good, I've pasted the whole shebang of this email below. See you there!

Well, hi there. You know, just when you thought 2005 couldn’t get any better…WHAM!… Patrick Brealey & the Knives have their first headlining show and you are one of the special people we want to share this illustrious event with. I, for one, am excited at the prospect of a Saturday night at Vancouver’s best place to spend all your money on hot nuts, the Railway Club. In order to have a good time, here is what you need to know:

Saturday, November 5, 2005
The Railway Club (579 Dunsmuir)
Patrick Brealey & the Knives
The Yoko Casionos
Ken Beattie & Jonathan Anderson (of Radiogram)
Doors 8:30pm
Cover $10

I mean, come on! Check out that lineup! Totally rad!

Now remember, Patrick Brealey & the Knives care about you and that’s why I keep you on the cutting edge of all things Knive. For those who don’t know, we began recording at the end of September and plan to have the full-length album out by spring 2006. That may seem like a long time to wait but I plan to keep you updated via a brand spankin’ new website. That’s right, www.patrickbrealey.com is soon to be more than a pithy splash page and will become a true, bonafide dot com. Take a look. Sure, it’s still a splash page right now, but it’s a new one and wow, what a splash! I want to thank Erin Nicholson and everyone at Boompa for helping to get this site up.

So I would love to see you on Saturday, November 5th. If you make it, I promise I will try to do my best. If you don’t make it, then I will still try to do my best and man, that’ll suck when you miss the best.

Stay sharp,
Patrick
