New Christmas songs up on our Myspace!

Just a quick note to let you know that we have two new Christmas songs out. I know, I know - who cares about christmas songs?! They all suck, right? But we were invited to give some tracks to a great new xmas compilation out on Light Organ Records. We were surprised to find that not only did we really like the xmas songs we wrote, but we really liked all the songs on this compilation.

So, please - go listen! Our two xmas songs are up at our myspace:

Christmas Release and Folk for the Holidays!

Hey everyone, It's weird to be, like, 'Merry Christmas!' in November, but our two new original Christmas songs came out yesterday. They part of a compilation from Light Organ Records, which also features songs by Adrian (team triangle!), Nat Jay, We are the City, Cory Woodward, The Zolas, Adaline, and on and on and on. All amazing Vancouver independent musicians!

Also, on December 3, we will be playing the annual folk festival fundraiser for the Vancouver Folk Fest. Nothing we would rather support than that! And the line up is sick. Us, Hannah Georgas, The Sojourners, and Roy Forbes. Check all the details for the show here:

The Fugitives in Ontario & Quebec next week!

Hello attractive and industrious people of the Dominion of Canada, The Fugitives are doing a short and sweet mini-tour of Ontario and Quebec next week, that we think you'd be nuts to miss. Oh, why? Well, this year The Fugitives are finally returning to Europe for some long-overdue shows in all of our old haunts. This means that if you want to see us in London, Ontario, as opposed to London, England, you will have to get your boots on and come out next week. It has been medically proven that your head will fall off if you don't see us for an entire year. Don't let it happen to you.

Friday, October 15, Montreal @ O Patro Vys: The Fugitives with Lake of Stew and The Gertrudes, 8:30-1:00am

for all details and directions go here

Sunday, October 17th, Toronto @ The Drake: The Fugitives play at 9:15 pm, with Special Guests on at 8:30 pm

Hearts & Whiskers,
