From TheWeakerthans.com: "The Weakerthans are nominated for 4 Prairie Music Awards (a Canadian regional award doo'dah) for Best Rock Video, Best Independent Album, Best Rock Album, and Best Album Art Work. The Awards are being held in Edmonton in late September (please feel free to riot if we don't win anything… again.)"
The Weakerthans are also giving the East Coast a treat: a mini tour with Scared of Chaka and Atom and His Package! Talk about an all-star lineup. Too bad it's only for 4 shows and two of them are 18+ [note: the CMJ one is just the Weakerthans]. Check the dates below, and if you can make it, you most definitely should, as the Weakerthans are one of the best things music has going for it today.
