is the link for details, they are playing on the 23rd of november, if you've never heard of them, you can sample a few tracks from their latest album at www.thehip.com their official site

they are well worth listening too, and hopefully it will be a great show

i really want to go but i cant find anyone to come with me

Sir Digby Chicken Caesar

we could always go together? or get a few from boards to come if there's interest

Seraphina

Urm I doubt it'll be a sell out....when have the 'hip been popular in this non-hockey loving nation of ours?

Seraphina

Sir Digby Chicken Caesar

I'm going to feel so out of place at this concert

I am a hip-n00b

Seraphina

dont worry, i dont own all the albums either, in fact i only own one! i've heard 2 others and ive got a few mp3's but thats it. and here's me worrying you were going to be all knowing!!

Sir Digby Chicken Caesar

Sir Digby Chicken Caesar

Was there many people there?

Sir Digby Chicken Caesar

maybe about five hundred.... not too sure, but the downstairs standing area was very full.. didn't get a look upstairs so I can't really speak for that area

it was a good crowd though.. and they were all bloody canadians we felt outnumbered!

Seraphina

then i dragged him back to the pub

im sorry it was for your own good!:D

Sir Digby Chicken Caesar

well, you know best it was a good night, except I forgot that when I drink/smoke I get tired and It was REALLY hard to stay awake at the all night dnc
