Just like our friends the endotherms, it’s time to begin waking up and thinking about making some noise.

The Lowest of the Low will be groaning back to life this summer. Keep an eye on the shows section for updates.

But to start, the Low will be part of the Toronto Urban Roots Festival, which is shaping up to be one awesome festival from July 4-7 at Fort York in Toronto.

The 2012 round of the wonderful Blue Moon series returns to take over Graffiti’s in Kensington Market from December 13th to 15th. Tickets for the shows are available at victimlesscapitalism.com

The Lowest of the Low is honoured to  help celebrate the 65th anniversary of the Legendary Horseshoe Tavern,  playing two nights on Dec 19th and 20th.

And speaking of Olde Times™, the entire “Low Roads” documentary is now up on YouTube and in the videos section

The Do Good Assassins are releasing their debut double disc Rome and celebrating with a number of shows in November.

From our good friend Tim Thompson:

Hello Friends,

I’m writing to let you know that “Born To It” – the documentary I made about independent musicians – is finally coming out on DVD. To help launch it into the world, I’m throwing a party – a release concert on Wednesday, September 19th at the Underground in the Drake Hotel. The show will be performances by all five of the musicians in the film – Ron Hawkins, Stephen Stanley, Wayne Petti, Alun Piggins and Elissa Mielke.

If you were at the film’s premiere at the Royal theatre back in 2009, the concert afterwards was spectacular, and I can’t wait to get the old band back together!

There will be advance tickets available at www.victimlesscapitalism.com

And here’s a link with more information and some words about the film itself.

I’d love it if you could make it out!
Hope to see you there,
Tim

David Ray Alexander (or as you may know him, the guy on the traps) will be showcasing his work at The Artist Project – March 1-4 at the Queen Elizabeth Building, Exhibition Place in Toronto. Visit him at booth 523.

Our Stephen Stanley will be on Hockey Night in Canada’s Game Day on CBC TV 5-6 PM EST on Feb 4. That last sentence may need to simplify its description of time-keeping to win most improved timekeeper next year… but regardless, check it out.

And enjoy watching Stephen with the Bidiniband in his tribute to Dave Keon “Fourteen and Me”

It’s time for the sixth installment of the Blue Moon Series. Tickets available now through victimlesscapitalism.com
