It's sadly official: I got a call last night from Is Grace Enough bassist Ryan, and yeah, tonight's show with Fear Before the March of Flames and Salt the Earth is a no-go; FBTMOF's van's transmission died quite irrevocably, somewhere in the northeastern United States, I would imagine. No word on a makeup date or anything; best to find something else to do tonight(February 3rd). Now I don't feel so bad about having to work til eight and missing the show either way.
Essential listening for this fine mild winter morning is Sixpence None the Richer's 2002 classic Divine Discontent. They keep cranking out heavenly pop albums. Long may they reign.
Just so you're all very clear: "Canadian label East End Industries is extremely excited to announce their first new release of 2004. Is Grace Enough, from Ottawa, Ontario, Canada is the newest addition to the East End Family and will have a new CD released on East End Industries titled Cross Your Heart And Hope To Die, which will be available March 1st and is ready for pre-order now. Is Grace Enough's brand of music consists of heavy breakdowns, technical guitar riffs, strong vocals and powerful lyrics. Two tracks are available for download at EastEndIndustries.com." We here at sweetdisaster extend our wild, raucous congratulations to one of Ottawa's bright hopes. Woohoo! [punknews]
