Porkbelly Futures

(Paul) We have completed work on our new album, which, after endless bickering, we’ve decided to call “Porkbelly Futures.” After ourselves, you see, it’s no mere coincidence. We are now in the final stages, pressing copies and printing covers, and everything should be ready to go in a couple of months.
In the meantime, we are playing a couple of very interesting gigs. One is at the Black Swan (154 Danforth, just east of Broadview) on Friday, August 17th. Loyal Porkbelly fans know that the band started there, lo those many years ago, playing the blues and knocking our instruments off the stage. Well, much has changed. Our music is no longer as bluesy, though I expect we will still knock much equipment off the stage. We intend to play two sets of our own music, north country blues, and then perhaps we’ll reprise some of that muddy Mississippi and shuffling Chicago stuff. It should be grand fun.
The following week, on Saturday the 25th, we will be playing in the woods. It’s true. Our management seems to be upset about a small bit of pilfering, anyway, they have booked us into the Haliburton Forest. They say we will be playing upon a floating stage. (We say, let’s see the stage first.) Anyway, for more information, check out this link.
