The Still Up And Running Royal Albert Arms

So I guess last year's fears about the Albert going the way of the Dodo-er-Collective (RIP) have abated because shows are sure happening around that place:

Brooklyn's Love As Laughter, who opened for Modest Mouse in the fall, stop by on September 11th w/ Oxford Collapse. Ominously, neither band's MySpace page lists the Winnipeg date...

Dance Punkers You Say Party! We Say Die! - those talented, yet hapless folks from Vancouver who can't play in the States until 2011 - will be encouraging butt shakin' on September 20th w/ Beast and Winter Gloves. To the band: you're always welcome here.

Ladyhawk rock the place on November 1st with Attack in Black and Shotgun Jimmie.

The Exclaim Tour featuring Baroness, Bison B.C., and Genghis Tron is scheduled to drop in September 27th.

Current rotation: Sparklehorse - It's A Wonderful Life
