ear all,

autumn has arrived. the days are filled with sunshine but you can already smell that the colder days
of the year are about to come. other things, more poppy though, will arrive as well. or they have arrived
already. like The Heavy Blinkers. from nova scotia via uk and france to wiesbaden, germany. and that?s
where their first european tour is going to start. don?t miss their fantastic concerts. and if you don?t own their
terrific album 'the night and i are still so young' yet, go and rush to your record-dealer to buy a copy
instantly. it?s just the right thing to listen to in the months to come. and just in case you haven?t noticed:
indieP!O!P! is the next big thing. again. C86 happened 18 years ago and it?s happening again. read everything
here:

The Heavy Blinkers 'the night and I are still so young'
*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*
mike alway, founder of the legendary label el records, having discovered everything but the girl, felt and
momus, lord or english indieP!O!P! per se, shivers from excitement during a walk through richmond as he
passed us 'the night and i are still so young' on CDR. "every song on it is as good as caroline, no - no, better.
every song is better, bigger, brighter than caroline no." and as we hear 'the night an i' for the first time,
we are thrilled: the album is pure orchestral P!O!P! perfection with songwriting in best tradition of randy
newman, harry nilsson and
-yes,yes,yes- brian wilson! the songs are embedded in symphonic
arrangements, which could have been created by bands like flaming lips or mercury rev. enchanting, timeliness
P!O!P! - the heavy blinkers, the most exciting canadian export article since, eh, maple syrup!
