Sweet Hereafter April 4, 2006: Buck65 was a good idea, Pamela, not so, and, introducing Infotourist

Hey everyone,

It'll be our pleasure today to have local band Infotourist drop by and chat. While not easy to peg down, their sound can be described as crossing the spectrum from evocative Radiohead to Propagandhi meets Spiritualized. They'll be playing at the upcoming AMS Food Bank Fundraiser this Thursday April 6 at Clark Hall Pub alongside the likes of Lacklustre, Reno's Hitmen and Team Fence. For more information about this event, please visit http://www.myams.org/mambo/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=29&Itemid=71

Along with the fundraiser, we'll talk about their current album "Selected Case Studies", the challenges that every up and coming bands face, and alternative forms of music distribution. They also want to talk about curling but we'll see about that. If you would like more information on the band or to sample some of the songs that appears on "Selected Case Studies", check out http://www.infotourist.org

I've got a couple of requests to play today, including one for Sarah Harmer. Also expect some Soundtrack of our Lives, Broken Social Scene, Stars and Michael Buble. Just kidding about that last one. I don't mind his music in the proper setting but verything in its proper time and place. Thanks again to all those who've confirmed that my podcast splicing experiment worked.

See you in a bit,

Tuan
