The Tragically Hip (new and improved official thread)

[direwolf74]

The bill for both Canada Day weekend shows is pretty awesome:

The Hip
Death Cab for Cutie
New Pornographers
The Rural Alberta Advantage

Any idea when the new album comes out?

No release date yet, but I just came across this article on the Hip forum which finally sheds some light on the album's progress:

Just wanted to say that I'm following you man. Huge HIP fan right here. Hoping for a summer/fall tour that stops over in Newfoundland. Been three years since we've had them here.

so I stopped in at Into The Music (Winnipeg) over this weekend, and found something of interest. A two disc bootleg of the War Child concert held in 2000 at the Forks. $20. Some dude here in the city is making big bucks off boots. It's obviously the same guy, must be in the industry. He uses the same fonts for all his artwork, you can just tell it's the same guy. how is it legal for this place to sell these? I saw they had the PJ Winnipeg 2005 show there. But those boots were sold digitally, with downloadable artwork. He burnt the discs, printed off the art, and sold it. But, I guess if there's people like me buying them, he'll keep doing it!

Anyway, I was pretty stoked because of all the Hip boots I have, NOT ONE is a Winnipeg show. So now I have one.

Im also hoping for this!

The Calgary show = 45 for me. Can't wait!

Still waiting to hear: Cordelia, Trickle Down, I'll Believe in You.

No Somerville tour dates??

Or a return to Bills Bar next to Fenway Park??

I'm hoping this is the album that draws me back tonthe hip!

And I really hope Gord Downie retires his Tap dance shoes and cane and just goes back to shaking his head like a maniac while taking exaggeratedly large steps..

[Gibson]

+1.

If I hear one more 'microphone stand' rant..

[mattseattleusa]

The Hip, with Sam Roberts, Jets Overhead and Current Swell in Victoria, BC on July 13th...hoping to try and go to this one...unless they decide to play Seattle around that time. But, that is a great bill for an outdoor show IMO.

I heard the song tonight on HNIC. Just pure rock n' fuckin' roll. As someone said on the Hip forum, it's like the bastard love child of Vaccination Scar and Looking For a Place to Happen conceived during Lonely End of the Rink. The finished version sounds much more refined than the early live versions we heard last summer. Love it! Looking forward to the new album.
