Upcoming Constantines shows, recording plans

Posted by adam on Tuesday, December 7, 2004 at 12:06 PM (EST)

The Constantines have a few December dates lined up in Ontario. On the 17th they'll play the Edge Electric Xmas in Toronto at the Kool Haus with Alexisonfire, The Planet Smashers and others. The following day they'll be in Guelph playing a benefit for the Canadian Cancer Society at Cafe Aquarius.

In January the band will head back down over the border for a set of US shows with Oakley Hall. Following that they'll head into the studio to record the follow up to 2003's Shine A Light. The band is currently supporting the second single from that record; Young Lions was released on Sub Pop earlier this fall with the b-sides "Sea Line Woman" and Royal City cover "Raw Youth."

Hmm, I was intending to go home from Guelph on the 17th but I might have to stick around for another few days. -adam

Wow, that name Guelph just sounds like a horrible place to be. Kinf of like Hicksville, Fishkill, Podunk, Branson.....

i can't find anywhere on subpop or the constantines site that they have released a Young Lions single. i even searched insound.com. Can somebody point me in the right direction so I can continue my constantines obsession? thx, J

They're selling it at their shows, that's the only place I've seen it. It is carrying the Sub Pop logo but it's not on the SP site. -adam

that sucks because i live in texas where they visited this summer but not since. thanks for the info.

adam (December 7, 2004)

Send me an email and I might be able to help you out. -adam

If anyone is looking for it in the Toronto area, they are selling it at Soundscapes.

baerrr mumum! (the guitar part in the break of nighttime)

The new songs they've been touring are great. Can't wait to hear them on record. The Young Lions single also has a very bizarre video for "Nighttime/Anytime".

Constantines are in Cleveland on January 12th! Whoo! -Scott

Over here at The Mercury Lounge on the 6th. It'll be the first best show of the new year. Ramo

january 7th for boston

Someone (December 7, 2004)

Good band, but completely unworthy of the 10 Adam gave them for SAL. More like a generous 8. -Chinatown

adam (December 7, 2004)

I give very few things 10, but I stand by my 10 there. Regardless, 50 points to Chinatown for enjoying the Cons. -adam

Someone (December 7, 2004)

I always do my best to lend my support to independnt Canadian bands. Your reviews were actually what motivated me to order both the Cons and Frenetics albums. But, as of right now, I'd have to say my favorite Canadian band is Depistado. -Chinatown

adam (December 7, 2004)

I like Despistado's EP quite a bit, it's a bit more quirky and fun than other bands of their cloth tend to be. I'm looking forward to that full length. -adam

Someone (December 8, 2004)

10 to Constantines. Brilliant album. A classic.

Someone (December 8, 2004)

This band sucks. I bought RItes of Spring used at some record store in PA, and they put a Constantines CD in the case. Fuck them.
