canadian help. (sorry)

[panda bear]

hi.
i know this doesn't have anything to do with xiu xiu, but i come to this board often, i don't usually post, i just usually read the posts. i'm a huge fan of xiu xiu, i actually booked one of their shows back in august in nova scotia, canada.

it was excellent!

anyways, is there anyone here from calgary/edmonton?

my band is looking to tour out to vancouver in may, and we're trying to build a good contact base for when we start booking it(in february/march) as, we're booking the whole tour in the DIY way(do we have any other choice? har de har har)

anyways, if anyone has any contact info for places in calgary, red deer, regina or saskatoon, that would be great.

you can e-mail me @ augustfaint(nospam)@hotmail.com

thank you.

we've got mp3's, so if you can help, let me know you want to hear mp3's in the e-mail, and i'll give you the link.

i don't want this thread to turn into a self promoting thread, because i know how annoying those are.

thank you very much for reading this.

we're kind of poppy, acoustic guitars, piano, vocals, and we've just throw an xylophone, wine glasses/spoons and an organ into the mix, and i'm trying to learn th singing saw(not working out too well.)

we've played with xiu xiu once.
supported the microphones and woelv on a couple dates of their east coast canadian tour as well.

cheers,
panda bear.

hey.
would you be able to help us out in edmonton?

we're looking into the "sidetrack cafe"

if you know any bands or what not that'd be down with playing that'd be awesome.

or if you're in a band that'd be swell too.

cheers,
