May 26th marks the release of  The Truth About Us (on our good friend Kim Cooke's new label, Pheromone Recordings www.pheromonerecordings.com )  - a twenty-year retrospective album featuring 22 songs remastered from the original session tapes. The CD comes with a bonus 6 song DVD recently recorded and filmed at the Dakota Tavern in Toronto, plus a 16 page booklet full of memories and essays including tributes from Jim Cuddy, Sarah Harmer, Gord Downie and Paul Cantin, and a song by song narrative from the band. You can wait to pick it up from yer favourite record store starting May 26th or you can pre-order your very own autographed copy from MapleMusic.com at this link - http://www.maplemusic.com/dept.asp?dept_id=5

The Truth About Us - Album Launch - May 25 -30, 2009 The Dakota Tavern

We're going to be celebrating the album release with a week long engagement at the Dakota Tavern in Toronto, May 25th - 30th  www.thedakotatavern.com . You can order a ticket here, http://www.maplemusic.com/dept.asp?dept_id=15   or order a ticket and an album and pick up the album at the show and save yourself a couple of bucks. In the biz, we call  that bundling! The Monday - Wednesday shows are going to be early ones - we'll be onstage at 8:00pm and finished by 10:30pm, so you'll be home in plenty of time to get your beauty sleep (and it won't be a late night for your babysitter...). FYI - The Dakota is a cozy (and terrific) venue, so tickets are limited.
