The Weakerthans Play Tonight! At Last!
After taking a four year hiatus, the The Weakerthans released a new album and are playing tonight at Neumo's. They will be the headlining band, following performances by The Last Town Chorus and Jeremy Fisher.
Wikipedia, my favorite source of information, describes the band:
The band was formed in 1997 in Winnipeg, Manitoba by John K. Samson, after he left the punk band Propagandhi to start a publishing company. Samson joined forces with bassist John P. Sutton and drummer Jason Tait, and created The Weakerthans as a vehicle for a more melodic and introspective brand of songwriting than that of Propagandhi.Click the links below to listen to a few songs by The Weakerthans. You can also download songs from their website. I love it when bands provide free music, by the way. It makes me want to buy their albums to pay them back for their generosity.
Tonight's show is all-ages, doors open at 8pm.
