Comments: From the promoter:

"The Weakerthans come from Winnipeg, Manitoba, the geographic center of North America. Their deeply lyrical music speaks of the vast open spaces and broken industrial dreams in which it was created. Founded in 1997 by former Propagandhi bassist turned guitarist/frontman John K. Samson, The Weakerthans hold deep roots in the indie scence, with drummer Jason Tait also recording and touring as part of Toronto indie collective Broken Social Scene. ... With an expanded line-up that includes trumpet, violin and female vocals, the Weakerthans run through songs from all four of their albums, in fornt of an adoring hometown audience singing along with every word.

"For fans of Wilco, Bright Eyes, Death Cab for Cutie, Elliot Smith, and Built to Spill."
