Halifax Pop Explosion

So the Halifax Pop Explosion starts this week.
Now, with me living in PEI now, this means I will not be able to check out any of the shows other than the one that Sleepless Nights are playing.
That show is on Saturday, Oct 24th.
The line up starts out with,
Oh no forest fires, from Toronto

Olenka and the Autumn Lovers, from London. On

The Great Bloomers, from Toronto

Sleepless Nights, we're from Halifax

And the show ends with a personal favourite of mine, Snailhouse from Montreal.

Mike Fuerstack, the man behind Snailhouse has been a favourite of mine ever since first hearing The Wooden Stars on my first road trip. Tim Deon had Outlaws on a mix tape.
Since then I have had a chance to see him play many times and once opening for The Wooden Stars! This will be my first time playing with Snailhouse, so colour me excited!
I have not seen Olenka & the Autumn Lovers or Oh No Forest fires live yet, so I am looking forward to that as well. We opened for The Great Bloomers this year at NXNE in Toronto and they were great.

For anyone who is able to go to more PopEx shows than I, here is the full schedule of awesomeness.

Now there is a lot going on this week, so how will you ever manage to keep everything organized?
Simple. My buddy Trevor over at Halifax is Burning has made up this handy little calendar to keep things in order.
