ARCTIC Goes to France

We’re very excited to announce ARCTIC’s tour plans for the fall.

We’re partnering with Bruxelles, a band from Clermont-Ferrand, France, on an intercontinental expedition. Bruxelles will come and tour with us in Canada for a few weeks, and then we will travel with them in October to tour in Europe.

Exact dates will be announced later this summer, but you can expect to find us in Paris, Clermont-Ferrand, Riom, Montpellier, Lyon and potentially Germany and Switzerland.

We’ll be posting regularly on our tour blog with updates, as well as Twitter and Facebook, and making videos along the way. After all, when you put two bands, who barely speak each others’ language, in a van together for five weeks… you’re bound to get some pretty good stories!

Fundraiser Show

To help us get across the ocean, we’re holding a fundraiser show at the Railway Club in Vancouver on Saturday, August 7. We’re grateful to our friends The Gentle Infidels, Danny Echo, and We Landed On The Moon! (all the way from Louisiana) and are looking forward to returning the favour in the future. Advance tickets are available on our website - buy a ticket now to get a free download of our new song “White Walls"!

Win all sorts of stuff!

We’re also holding a big raffle and the draw will happen at our show on August 7! So far our prizes include:

• Two pairs of tickets to see the BC Lions
• T-shirt by Laundry Room Press
• An autographed photograph of 54-40
• Mini photo shoot by bOB HOmer Photography
• 1 year of free web hosting by outside in the sun productions
• Cameo necklace by Oyster Designs
• $50 gift certificate to Sweeney’s of Yaletown
• Purse by Jabu Bags
• …and more secret surprises to be announced!

You can get tickets for the raffle and the show on our website. You don’t have to be present to win the raffle, though it’s going to be a fantastic time and you probably should.

Thanks for all your love and support - we’re looking forward to seeing you while we’re on tour, whatever continent you’re on!

ARCTIC has just released a shiny new song, “White Walls", which is available for free download by signing up to our mailing list.

Enjoy!
