The late Johnny Cash's backing band, The Tennesee Three come to Toronto for a show at Lee's Palace on August 20. The band features core members Bob Wootton (lead guitar & vocals) & W.S. Holland (drums) but likely will include a few other members if I've read the Wikipedia entry correctly.
As Chromewaves mentioned last week, Patrick Krief(guitarist of The Dears) brings his own solo singer-songwriter project to the Rivoli on August 30. Brooklyn Vegan points to Mr. Krief's MySpace which feature some streaming songs, two('Bourre' & 'London', unmastered recordings) of which feature Land of Talk's Elizabeth Powell on vocals.
The man perpetually on tour, Ted Leo and his band The Pharmacists have a load more North American dates scheduled over the next three months including a return date in Toronto at The Mod Club on October 7, tickets $15.00. Support is 60's pop-inspired duo Georgie James from Washington DC. Check out their MySpace.
Mojo interview Ween about the 4-year gap since 2003's "Quebec" and their most recent release, Reinhard Raith, the man behind Crazy Frog.
Labrador Records have posted a 68-track Summer Sampler available for download. For lovers of all things Swedish and pop.
And speaking of Swedes, Jens Lekman just finished the recording of his new album last week(according to his July 22, 2007 Smalltalk post). To tide us over he's released a new single, 'Friday Night at the Drive-In Bingo' b/w Radio NRJ. Listen to the A-side here. Jens calls it "`one of the finest...`, but the absolute finest popsong I've ever written. Fuck Black Cab. Fuck Mapleleaves. In ten years this will be a true classic." Oh, Jens.
