Weekend Event Listings - Feb. 4 to 7

Top Events for the Weekend (in no particular order):

fanshaw Record Release - Thursday, Feb. 4 @ The Railway Club in Vancouver

Mint Records recently recruited a second red-head to it's roster: Olivia Fetherstonhaugh (aka. fanshaw). With only a few songs on her myspace, this night will prove an interesting insight into her new album "Dark Eyes", that will be released to the public on Feb. 9th.

Hawksley Workman and The Wooden Sky FREE IN-STORES!

Start out at Criminal Records at 6 p.m. this Friday to catch Hawksley Workman perform a free set. You might have to leave a little early though, if you want to wander over to Sonic Boom, to catch the Great Lake Swimmers do a free set there! That's some good, not to mention free, music. It's kind of like free food... it's always better when it's free!

Hawksley Workman (FREE in-store) - Fri., Feb. 5 @ Criminal Records, 6 p.m. FREE!

Great Lake Swimmers (FREE in-store) - Fri. Feb. 5 @ Sonic Boom, 6:30 p.m. FREE!

Wavelength 499!! w/ Half Baked, Tres Bien Ensemble, Princess Century and Justin Chee!

The Wavelength music series began in 1999 and has gone on to be one of the most influential series for modern music in Toronto. After a decade, the series is about to come to a catastrophic end next week... so I guess that means this week is like the pre-end-of-the-world-party. Sun., Feb. 7 @ The Garrisson
