Day 1: September 26, Montreal House, Peterborough ONWell, after suffering a crushing defeat earlier this weak to Polaris Prize winners Fucked Up (just kidding... congratulations boys and girl), Elliott BROOD has embarked on the "Future Ghost Towns" tour. This is a major one for us, and we have enlisted BLOGSPOT to enter the highlights into the blogosphere.
Unlike last years Mountain Meadows tour which had us all over Canada and Europe, this tour takes us in a figure 8 all over North America (first half only showing as of this writing). Map courtesy our uber prepared tour manager Ryan Fields. On the first part of our journey we will be joined by the illustrious "The Wooden Sky", from Toronto Ontario, with the inimitable "Deep Dark Woods" on the last half, from Montreal onward (Nov 6).
Our (Polaris Prize nominated) record, "Mountain Meadows" is to be released in the US on October 6, and we hope to sell many thousands of copies and/or at least convert a few hundred souls into the ways of the BROOD. check the new light show.
Peterborough - Montreal House tavern:
Jason, the owner of the MoHo is one serious dude. He loves good independant music, as could be evidenced by this weekend's lineup: Thurs: Sunparlour Players, Fri: Elliott BROOD, Sat: Golden Dogs.
Last week the MoHo had Trooper. Everyone makes mistakes. The MoHo is very dear to the BROOD because we seem to start every tour there. This is no exception (though we did rock Detroit the night before with The Weakerthans).
Our relationship with the MoHo goes further: They have ceiling tiles inscribed with the names of people (mostly deceased) who have been regulars there over the years during the tenure of this 125 year old club. Last night, Jason presented us with our own tile. This is a huge honour. Also, my last Elliott BROOD suitcase is immortalized on the wall (see picture, which also shows the famous ceiling tiles). I have been using a real kick drum since July '08.
