Party of One

The Local Rabbit's Peter Elkas' solo LP "Party of One" drops this September 14. Maplemusic is currently presenting Peter Elkas as one of their 'breakout artists'. I've lost touch with the 'Rabbits over the last several years and I never got around to purchasing the Local Rabbits last CD "This Is It, Here We Go"[which I hope to remedy soon] but was fortunate enough to catch Pete[solo] open up for the Superfriendz' reunion concert in Toronto a couple of years back. Pete's music continues along the same lines of the Local Rabbits' unpretentious pop rock music. Smooth as butter. Peter Elkas' site has some mp3's[studio & live] for your perusal.[and for the unintiated, please go out and get a copy of the Local Rabbits' "Basic Concept" which is just a pure pop/rock Canadian gem.]

The Donnas will release their new album "The Gold Medal" on October 26 through Atlantic Records. The first single will be "Fall Behind Me" and is available for download if you signup for their mailing list at their site www.thedonnas.com. They are touring in November with the Von Bondies but unfortunately there aren't any Canadian dates. [info from Soul Shine Magazine]

...For anyone in Canada, this might be a good time to pick up The Donnas' "Spend The Night" CD which is currently part of Sunrise Records' "2 CD's for $20" special.
