 My husband and I have a band called The Handsome Family. Over the years we've played our share of far-flung venues: a lesbian death metal bar in Oslo, the Sydney Opera House, a Belgian festival where everyone dressed in medieval garb (tights, pointed slippers, daggers), a funeral full of sobbing people... But still even we were surprised to be invited to play Ships And Dip III: The Barenaked Ladies Cruise.

Go on European Vacation with The Bitter Tears

Ever wanted to go on tour with a rock band? Ever wanted to find out if The Bitter Tears are the same when trapped in a funny looking, tall but narrow, van as they are on stage? Here's your chance to read and heckle.

They head to Europe tomorrow for their first ever tour Over There and we can't wait to hear what the more cultured continent makes of them!

Move over Dali.

If you missed the reading about their east coast tour, it should make for a good appetizer for what's to come.
