News from ARCTIC

This Sunday, January 24, we’re playing a Benefit for Haiti at the Railway Club in Vancouver (579 Dunsmuir @ Seymour). Proceeds support the Red Cross effort in Haiti. Featuring D Trevlon, The Modelos, ARCTIC, Uncle Nestor, Graham Brown, Big Joe Burke, Devan Christodoulou, Nathan Blackburn and Zenith D Wonderpants.
Cover: Doors: 6 pm, Show 7 pm, admission $10.

When we were in Ottawa, the good people at Zaphod Beeblebrox recorded our set for us and now we have a fine selection of live tracks to offer you. You can get the MP3s a number of different ways:

• Buy them at Amiestreet.com
• If you’re on Twitter, get “War of Ideas” in exchange for one tweet
• Join our Facebook page to get “Happiness vs. Sadness”
• Join our mailing list to get “Dec 25th”

You can also listen to them on our MySpace and CBC Radio 3 pages if you like.

Enjoy!

I Am a Free Speech Zone Dance. Friday, November 27 at Cambrian Hall, 215 E 17th Ave (at Main) Doors 8:00 PM, $10. With Pawnshop Diamond, The SSRI’s and DJ Citizen.
This benefit supports groups fighting the free speech issues surrounding the Olympics in Vancouver next year - such as:

“The city also won provincial approval giving enforcement officials the right to enter private homes and businesses on 24- hours’ notice and remove any offending signs at the owner’s expense…..Signs that mock or disparage Olympic sponsors would also violate the bylaw… the city may ask the court to impose a fine of as much as C$10,000 and six months in jail upon conviction.”

Read the full article, then come out and fight for your right to party on November 27!

Join up at the Facebook event page right here.

ARCTIC is back in town, and can be found next at the University of British Columbia’s Student Union Building, at the SUB Gallery Lounge on the main floor, along with special guests. Doors at 8:30, cover is $PWYC ($5-10 suggested).
