Sons of Cain

Dan Dickson graciously provides an mp3 of a recording of an as-of-yet-untitled new song Ted Leo performed at the Seaport Music Festival from last week. Listening to the song, I heard the repeated phrase "Sons of Cain" which I'm gonna guess will be the probable title of the song. If you listen to the audio, you'll hear Ted express that he wrote the song that morning. Rough around the edges, but damn impressive.

I unfortunately missed the Great Lake Swimmers/akron/family/Jon-Rae Fletcher and The River/Lullabye Arkestra extravaganza this past Friday night at the Horseshoe which suckingalemon and a WHOLE BUNCH of people over at Stillepost are raving about. Fortunately someone over at Stillepost has informed that Jon-Rae Fletcher has been added to the Cuff The Duke(CD Release)/Meligrove Band bill which is scheduled for September 9th at Lee's Palace.

Thanks to Janice for the correction to my earlier post about Matt Pond PA. It has NOT been confirmed that they will be opening up for Athlete who will perform at The Opera House on Sept 19th, even though Edge 102.1 FM is currently reporting this on their site. However, according to Matt Pond Pa's official website, they are scheduled to open for Liz Phair when she comes to Toronto for a show at the Phoenix on October 23rd. That Liz Phair show's now looking more tempting.

In the meantime, download the first Liz Phair podcast, featuring some live performances over at Liz's official website.

Stars recently began a European tour and their peformance tomorrow August 29th will have a live webcast which'll be available tomorrow at 21:00 CET(15:00 EST) on www.stars.fabchannel.com.
