Song For Sunshine

Belle and Sebastian, The New PornographersSaving us a little bit of sleuthing, someone over at The New Pornographer Message Forums guesses that with Belle and Sebastian scheduled for SXSW on March 15 '06 and a tourdate in France on April 22nd , the B & S/New Pornographers North American tour'll likely occur sometime between mid-February and mid-April.

In related news(or rather non-news), Spin also makes mention of the B & S/New Pornographers tour. I don't know who they've got working over at Spin, but they call Neko Case 's solo career a 'side project' and they still think Isobel Campbell is part of B & S. Sheesh.

Evan Dando will be onhand to celebrate the Horseshoe Tavern's 58th anniversary on February 11, 2006. Tickets $17.50 Adv @ Tm-Hs-Rt-Ss.

Billboard reports that The Who will be touring in 2006 to promote new material.

I'm a little late on the following info but I haven't read about it anywhere else. The Versus site points out that sound samples for the new self-titled Whysall Lane album(to be released February 6 '06 through Blackball Records) can be heard over at Midheaven Mailorder.

the oh so quiet show(via it's a trap) mentions that Sondre Lerche will be releasing two albums in 2006.

The local weeklies step into the Best-Music-Of-2005 ring with their own lists. Check out Toronto's Eye Weekly and NOW, and Hamilton's View Magazine.
