The Weakerthans: Reunion Tour

Liner notes about their upcoming album? Sure, why not. Recorded in 11 days in March, 2007, at Prairie Recording Co., Winnipeg, and 4 days in April, 2007, at The Junkshop, Toronto.

15 days later we have The Weakerthans fourth album, Reunion Tour, and it will release on September 25th in the US, a day earlier elsewhere. Their label says, "The Weakerthans have long been known for their lyrical ingenuity, but they are, after all, a rock band, and Reunion Tour is a musical triumph."

And yes, "Tournament of Hearts," is a song abuot the Olympic sport of curling. Hehehe, I'll dedicate that one to my brother.

They will begin touring on September 25th in Minnesota and at least through the beginning of November with a date scheduled for the Paradise Rock Club in Boston, Massachusetts.
