Rheostatics CANCEL all 3 Horseshoe Shows...*UPDATE*

 Some very unfortunate news from Dave Bidini's Facebook page today regarding the upcoming Rheostatics shows at the Horseshoe, below is what he had to say:

"hate to bring this bad news on this good day, but RHEOSTATICS are cancelling all of our horseshoe shows. refunds at the club, details to follow. martin is unable to perform at this time. we tried hard to make it work, but could not. i am terribly sorry and devastated by this transgression. we love you all so very much for your support."

Hoping everything is alright with Martin, sending out good vibes.

"The Rheostatics regretfully must cancel their upcoming 3 shows at The Horseshoe Tavern on December 5th and 6th. Lead guitarist and vocalist, Martin Tielli, is unable to perform. The band sends out its sincere apologies to the Horseshoe Tavern who were so kind as to extend the gig invitation to the band and to all of our fans 
who showed their support by purchasing tickets to the event."

Rheostatics Reunite to celebrate the Horseshoe Tavern's 65th Birthday

The News is out of the bag, Toronto's legendary Rheostatics are booked to play two shows to help celebrate the Horseshoe Tavern's 65^th Birthday, below is the information that was released today…See You All There!!

RHEOSTATICS CELEBRATE THE HORSESHOE TAVERN’S 65th BIRTHDAY WITH BACK-TO-BACK SHOWS: DECEMBER 5-6, 2012.

Over five years at the beginning of the century, Etobicoke's Rheostatics set new records for attendance and durability at Toronto's famed Horseshoe Tavern during their annual "Fall Nationals" concert series. Other than legendary singer Stompin’ Tom Conners, who played 25

straight nights in 1974, Rheostatics annually performed 12 straight shows in 12 days, setting a modern mark in which the band played three hours every night, drawing material from their ten--plus album discography, including 1992's "Whale Music," generally considered one of the greatest Canadian albums of all-time.

On Dec 5th, Toronto’s Horseshoe Tavern will turn 65 years old, and although having disbanded, ostensibly, for good in 2007 at Massey Hall, Rheostatics will reform for two shows featuring a lineup including Martin Tielli, Dave Bidini, Tim Vesely and drummer Dave Clark, and premiering new material work-shopped over the fall. Returning to the scene of some of their greatest musical triumphs – a place where so much of their classic repertoire was debuted – Rheostatics are thrilled to play for fans and music lovers new and old who once thought this day impossible.

SHOW DETAILS:

Wednesday, December 5 & Thursday, December 6
The Horseshoe Tavern
Tickets $29.50 Adv / $35 door
Tickets on sale Thursday, October 25th @ 10am at Ticketmaster, Rotate This, Soundscapes &Horseshoe Tavern.
