The day after they rock Toronto's Virgin Festival September 6th, Against Me! will tour Ontario and points west here in Canada with The Saint Alvia Cartel. The Cartel will doubtless be playing some new tunes from their upcoming second album, but 'Blonde Kryptonite' will still destroy all in its path:
Sept. 7 London, ON @ Cowboys
Sept. 8 North Bay, ON @ The Wall (Nipissing University)
Sept. 10 Winnipeg, MB @ The Garrick
Sept. 11 Saskatoon, SK @ Odeon Event Centre
Sept. 12 Edmonton, AB @ Edmonton Events Centre
Sept. 13 Calgary, AB @ MacEwan Hall
Sept. 15 Vancouver, BC @ Croatian Cultural Centre

Fresh off being my favourite performance of the day at last weekend's Montreal Warped stop, Reel Big Fish have announced a tour across Canada!! They'll be supported by Less Than Jake, Montreal's The Real Deal and on a number of dates by Toronto's Flatliners:
Sept. 18 Vancouver, BC @ Commodore Ballroom w/The Flatliners
Sept. 20 Calgary, AB @ MacEwan Hall Ballroom w/The Flatliners
Sept. 21 Edmonton, AB @ Edmonton Events Centre w/The Flatliners
Sept. 22 Regina, SK @ The Distrikt w/The Flatliners
Sept. 23 Winnipeg, MB @ The Garrick Centre w/The Flatliners
Sept. 24 Thunder Bay, ON @ The Outpost
Sept. 26 Toronto, ON @ The Sound Academy
Sept. 27 Montreal, QC @ Club Soda
Sept. 28 Quebec City, QC @ Imperial w/The Flatliners

"Fans don't last anymore. They'll come see your band one week, then the next week they don't give a sh*t. There's no real loyalty. I mean, there is, but the loyalty is a lot more prevalent in Canada." That's bassist Kyle Johnson of the Can-Am hybrid Misery Signals, who have a stellar new album out called Controller - they'll be touring Canada again this September(no schedule yet) with the mighty, mighty, MIGHTY Comeback Kid. One rad tour after another!
