Watch those crazy Canucks The Weakerthans rock a curling rink in their new video for “Tournament of Hearts,” which as you may have assumed is a song about curling. It’s likely this will go down in history as the number 1 song about curling.
Anti-, who arguably boasts the best current roster of any label, recently launched AntiLabelBlog.com, along with a spring 2008 sampler. The sampler includes new tracks from Man Man, Tim Fite, Nick Cave, Islands, Billy Bragg, The Weakerthans, DeVotchka, Lyrics Born and more.
Last summer, Canada’s beloved storytellers the Weakerthans hit up Webster Hall with Bad Religion’s Greg Graffin and the New Amsterdams and it was, without a doubt, one of the most entertaining shows I had seen that summer. Flash forward a year and change later and the boys were back at the same place, with a new album Reunion Tour in the bag. I stumbled into the venue just as the band was in the midst of their first song. Right way, the mood was remarkably different. Honestly, the new album has not found constant rotation with me. Since it just came out, it’s understandable why a good portion of the hour and a half set contained songs from it.
