ANYWAY, back to what is important.  The Rural Alberta Advantage.  They are phenomenal*.  If you like anything like Tokyo Police Club or the Henry Clay People or Neutral Milk Hotel or Modest Mouse or the Strokes or the Arcade Fire or just about any amazing alternative band, you will most likely like them.

I first saw these guys open for Ben Harper in Montreal in May last year & they were so good, I couldn’t believe I hadn’t heard of them before. Needless to say, I bought their 2 albums & they were great.

Then I saw them play with the Airborne Toxic Event in Boston last fall & they told me they finishing putting together a third LP (Out Now).

Anyway, they were featured in Spin earlier this summer so watch out, they are on the rise!
