This show was announced a while ago but I thought I'd jump
on the band wagon and give it a little ink since it's in my area and all. The Tragically Hip along with Death Cab For Cutie, The New Pornographer’s
& The Rural Alberta Advantage are playing July the 1st at Burl'sCreek Family Event Park which if you don't know is a large outdoor venue about
an hour and a half (when traffic is good) north of Toronto, this is the same
site that was to play host to the 2009 V-Fest till the festival organizers in
their infinite wisdom decided to move it to the Molson Amphitheatre…such a
terrible decision, but that was then and this is now.
From what I
have gathered the gates are to open at 3: PM so I would start the drive north a
good few hours early in order to get there in time to see the first band hit
the stage, but from my personal experience with large outdoor shows and gate
times…they never open as planned, so make sure your air conditioning is working. This is actually a pretty good line-up, but I
doubt the Hip's beer swilling fans that only know two of their songs (Blow at
High Dough" and "New Orleans Is Sinking") will have any clue who
the other bands are*…which is a good thing for the rest of the crowd as maybe
they will stay in the beer tents and out of the sight lines.
The show is being
brought to us by the fine folks at Impact Live.ca
Now this is where
I would post maybe a Live Hip video…you know to get you in "Tha Mood"
for the big show…but I'm gonna post a video from The Rural Alberta Advantage, really dig these guys.
Enjoy…and see ya there
