Pioneering Canadian power-pop act the Pointed Sticks have announced several upcoming shows. The band will play a pair of gigs in Alberta this March, appearing in Edmonton and Calgary near the end of the month. This summer the group will head to Japan, playing July shows in Tokyo and Osaka.

The Vancouver group was originally active from 1978 to 1981. They reunited in 2006 and since reissued material via Joe Shithead Keithley of D.O.A.'s Sudden Death Records. 2009 saw the release of a new full length titled Three Lefts Make A Right on the Northern Electric label.
