    The Weakerthans | A New Name For Everything

    In 2004, I spent three weeks on tour with The Weakerthans. Three weeks, a show every night. Such a treat. I have great memories of that tour and from all the tours I had the chance to be on, this one was the best. Some highlights:

    • Listening to Stephen play the pedal steel during soundcheck every night
    • John K. Sampson being a loyal and attentive co-pilot. Safety first, always
    • Jason introducing me to one of my favorite shows to date: Trailer Park Boys
    • Hanging out with Avril Lavigne and crew at Rock am Ring

    And tonight, I’m seeing my favorite Winnipeggers play live at Lido.

    Jim Bryson & The Weakerthans | Wild Folk

    Oh hells yeah, what a great surprise. I had no idea these two would team up and record an album together. I remember when Cam, The Weakerthans’ sound engineer, introduced me to Jim Bryson in 2003 in Zurich, Switzerland and I’ve been a fan ever since.

    Thirty seconds into this song and I had already bought the album via Amazon. Thanks, Dave! (via davehyndman)

    The Weakerthans | Benediction (Live at Burton Cummings Theatre)

    John K. Samson is a great storyteller. Probably one of my favorites and this live version of Benediction is excellent with the pedal stell and the vocals of his wife Christine Fellows.

    Album stream: The Weakerthans live at The Burton Theatre

    As posted earlier today, I can’t wait to hold the red double vinyl and DVD in my hands. I’m sure it will bring back great memories from the three-week tour with the guys in 2003. Half-way through the first listen, Night Windows and Reconstruction Site (Stephen killing it on the pedal steel!) are my favorites so far.

    Thanks to Gabriel for sending the link. 

    Update: this album is incredible.

    The Weakerthans - Everything Must Go (Live at The Burton Cummings Theatre)

    Nice one, Tyler. Didn’t know The Weakerthans were releasing a live album. I ordered the special bundle this morning and can’t wait for it to arrive. It includes a double colored vinyl edition, a t-shirt and the DVD of the show. 

    I love this band

    The Weakerthans on Sly-Fi: Winnipeg Winners

    I missed their latest tour in Germany. I was bummed. I had the chance to tourmanage everyone’s favorite Winnipegians on their tour in 2003 I think it was. It was one of the best tours I had the chance to do. Super nice guys, had a blast with Stephen and Cam, had John K as my co-pilot with a sharp eye on the road. We spent the best day-off ever in Zurich, rented a boat and got sun-burned on the Zurich lake. Nice hotel too - right in the old town centre.

    Well. So I couldn’t see them live, but we had the chance to catch their Berlin show on tape. And boy (and girls), these guys are just great. See the first part of thefull show below and head of over to Sly-Fi.com for Part 2, Part 3, Part 4 and an interview (Part 1, Part 2) with guitarplayer Stephen.
