What's New
 



On April 25th and April 26 - The Town Pants perform for two nights at  the Dublin Crossing in Surrey. Or is it Langley? Well, its on the  
border but Canada Post says its Surrey. Its also the birthday weekend  of actor Al Pacino. So we'll be doing Pacino impressions between  songs. If that and heap of fine fast folkin' celt rock isn't enough  for you, stay home already.
We'll be announcing a local Vancouver show soon too. Watch this space  for more details. We'll also be adding more dates to the tour dates  over the summer throughout Canada and the USA.

TheTownPants.com is band's official website but you can find us on a few other popular places on-line...
The Town Pants on Facebook? If you're a Facebook user, why not add us? Check us out HERE. We always felt that the audience was somewhat of the hidden member of the band you don't see in photo's of us. So its a chance to connect with others and maybe you'll maybe find a few friends there, or some familiar faces at shows you've been to.
In addition for you MySpace people you can find the band's MySpace page HERE

Do you use Live Journal? Check out this site administered by Jenn and Elaine some trusty fans out in New York state.

Ryan Robbins, who audiences in the Metro Vancouver area will be familiar with as the bands dijeridoo player/ bodhranist/madman stars in a new original series on Global TV network in Canada called The Guard. No word on whether or note Dave, Duane and Aaron will make a guest starring appearance as distraught victims of a tipped canoe. Ryan's got a blog about the show and you can check it out HERE.

 

Check out the CBC's new and improved New Music Canada website HERE . The NMC site amalgamates the previous site at Roots Music Canada and listen to some Town Pants tracks and the NMC podcast that features all Canadian indie music from across the country. Give one of out tracks a spin or two and you'll push us up in the most popular downloads charts on NMC.

In the mid 90's Dave Keogh played guitar in a Ottawa based rock group called Headview with the infamous Arman Kamal on vocals. The band released only one CD in 1996, a now-difficult-to-find out of print CD titled "Sad Tomatoes". Perhaps the guys were ahead of their time as the CD just recently got a blog review HERE

 

Battlestar Galactica actor Aaron Douglas (who plays Chief Galen Tyrol on BSG) who's a friend and fan of our music wears a familiar t-shirt on this interview held at a recent sci-fi fan conevention discussing his work on the show. Cheers, pal! The 3rd season of BSG starts airing in early October. The Town Pants will not appear as cylons, but stay tuned for some upcoming clips with Aaron and us soon!

On the Galaxie Radio's Folk/Roots station, our Weight of Words CD was #8 in July, and #4 in August. The CBC run subscription service is usually accessed by your television via directTV or satellite cable providers, but even if you're out of the country feel free to request a Town Pants song here.

 
Our shows and cd's have been piling up some reviews lately, here's some of them:
Askew Reviews, Youthink, AmericanaUK, Shite 'n' Onions, Worldbeat Canada, SceneandHeard, PartyInKingston, View Magazine...
You can find a new review of the Weight of Words album from Poland HERE. We received a translation from Maciek Fuszara of Lomianki, Poland who wins a Town Pants sticker for his trouble to translate the Polish review, you can read it here.

The band has recently been included on a compilation disk called Shite 'n' Onions Volume 2- What the Shite?!. You can read a review of the album here

The Town Pants performed at Canadian Music Week 2006 in Toronto. You can hear an interview & music at MVY Radio which was taped at the CMW headquarters in the York Hotel in downtown Toronto, and read Charattack's REVIEW of the show.
