News from ARCTIC

We’re blogging about our tour right over here at our tour blog. Check in with us and see what we’re up to!

ARCTIC performed on CiTR 101.9 last Thursday, and we have three mp3s of our performance for you on our Listen page: “You Coming Down", “No Trace", and a brand-new song, “Through the Spaces". These are the first live recordings we’ve made of ARCTIC as a full band. Please enjoy!

This is the launching point: the start of the Summer 2008 ARCTIC Cross-Canada Band Expedition.

Come out to the Wired Monk on Saturday, May 10 to send us off, to see Benjamin Keith, and for a chance at splendid prizes including tickets to see City & Colour at the Orpheum.

The Wired Monk is both all-ages AND serves alcohol, so all are welcome.

Buy tickets in advance and receive a free raffle ticket for City & Colour, plus a chance to win special prizes for advance ticket holders only!
