2011-03-03: Planks open for Oh My Darling

Please pardon the small bout of time travel -- this gig pre-dates (by one day) the most recent one we've posted, and there should be another, still earlier one yet coming! A busy week ahead for our intrepid Planks!



In the best Christmas present ever, Blackbox Squeezebeard awoke to a phone call for... "Blackbox Squeezebeard?", an extraordinary wake-up call informed by the contact info on our press kit page. We have friends in Winnipeg, a good place to have friends, but it wasn't them who put in a good word for us to our NEW friends in Winnipeg's country-folk bluegrassy quartet Oh My Darling. (The bird in their ear was someone at the Biltmore -- also a good place to have friends -- but ah, I digress!)

To make a long story short(er), Thurs March 3rd we'll continue our spree of appearing at the Railway Club (579 Dunsmuir Street) at more-or-less monthly-by-chance intervals opening for these wonderful winter birds, touring in promotion of their album "Love Shack" -- a good place to keep warm and cozy when the drifts get too high on those long, cold prairie winters. Show at 9, $10 at the door! (and save a couple of coins for some of the new Creaking Planks buttons, this season's outrageous new fashion accessory!

(Now also with Lindsay May!)
