Tours: The Weakerthans and Constantines in The Rolling Tundra Revue

The Weakerthans and Constantines are headed out in a coast-to-coast cross Canada tour that they're calling The Rolling Tundra Revue 2005.

After a journey through the American southwest in late 2002, the two musical
combos became friends and mutual admirers. Upon reuniting in the fall of
2004 for a show in Ottawa, thoughts turned to confederation and the expanses
of Canada. Oh those large and beautiful expanses! A ridiculously ambitious
tour was proposed, guided by the spirits of Festival Express and Rolling
Thunder Revue. If only they could find a train with which to cross, they
said! No train was found, no one they knew had one that's for sure, yet the
idea was sound, the maps were true, and they decided to forge on.

Forward to The Rock! they said. To Cape Breton! To the great port of
Halifax! Through New Brunswick and up the mighty St. Lawrence to the
metropolises of upper Canada! Across the Canadian shield to Winnipeg and the
great plains beyond! Through the Rockies and all the way across the straight
of Georgia to Vancouver Island and the old city of Victoria! To be joined by
their favourite Canadian bands along the way! They bring the tidings of rock
and roll! They bring the dance of eager travel! They bring stories and song!

The tour will commence in the Maritimes in mid March and head west from there. The bands are supporting their respective 2003 albums Reconstruction Site and Shine a Light. Click below for the currently confirmed dates.
