CANASTA w/ THE LEMONHEADS - NEXT FRI. 5/2 @ ABBEY PUB ! ! !

(sent on 2008-04-24)

Hello All -

Pucker up everybody... Next Friday, May 2nd, Canasta's playing with The Lemonheads! Of all the fun shows we get to play, for my money, the best ones are always those where we get to gig with artists of whom we were fans long before being in a band. That's definitely the case with these guys. The show's happening at Abbey Pub and this year actually marks the 15th anniversary of their power pop classic, It's a Shame About Ray. So the album's getting the reissue treatment and this concert's a celebration of that milestone. I expect they'll play through the entire thing, so we're stoked. "Stoked"... Does anyone still say that?

In other news, on Saturday, June 21st, Canasta will be playing one of Chicago's youngest street fests: the aptly-titled "Pizza Fest"! It takes place at Fullerton and Racine and we'll pass along the other details as they become available. The show's obviously not for awhile, but we wanted to give you an advance heads-up because we know your June schedule fills up quickly. After all... Summertime is Wet Banana time!
