I just found out yesterday that Winnipeg, MB’s own The Weakerthans are scheduled to play at The Bottletree in my former college town of Birmingham, AL, only 1.5 hours from here, on March 30. I’m ecstatic. This will be the first time they’ve ever played in Alabama. Tickets (via etix.com) are only $13, and there are two other bands, Liam Finn and Christine Fellows, neither of which I am familiar with, but I plan on being so before the end of March.
I never thought I’d see The Weakerthans live without heading up to Canada, so this is amazingly awesome. Here’s a video of their most recent single off of their most recent album, Reunion Tour, entitled, “A Civil Twilight.” Enjoy:
