We have 200 free downloads to offer until noon on Sunday – please share with your friends and let our delicious blend of psychedelic rock into your home today!

]]> http://gentleinfidels.com/blog/?feed=rss2&p=266 0 Welcome us to the digital world http://gentleinfidels.com/blog/?p=258 http://gentleinfidels.com/blog/?p=258#comments Thu, 12 Apr 2012 23:04:57 +0000 admin http://gentleinfidels.com/blog/?p=258 The Gentle Infidels finally have a bandcamp site!

Please share this with your friends and if you don’t already have a copy of our record, give it a listen and purchase a track or two, or the whole album. We’ve provided it on a “pay what you can” basis, but with a minimum of $5 for the whole album…we sell it for $10 at shows, so hopefully this kind of balances out. Once we see how this works, we can start offering some free download codes to folks, add some merch, and more!

There’s one track you can download for free, and this will rotate every so often.

Feedback is incredibly welcome on this little digital enterprise!

But if you prefer live music, and really, it’s the best, come see us at the Railway Club on April 26th for a night of Psychedelic Rock. We will kick off the night and join the amazing Jeff Laing, Stone Poets and 2 Days & Counting.

The weather was hot and the crowd was even hotter.

First, we played our 3rd year in a row at the International Pop Overthrow Festival at the Railway club. Thanks to Dave Bash and his indomitable organizing.

The next night, we played at Cafe Montmartre amid a forest of Tinker guitars (including one new addition), special family guests and Dave Gannett.

Saturday gave us Franklin Fest – an East Van backyard party at its finest. Nathan Pike’s 4th outdoor show (and 10th of the festival in its entirety) was a hot and dusty and full of great bands and dancing audience members. It went till the wee hours of the night and also featured Ferdy playing in the Belushis and Chris playing in the Creaking Planks.

If you missed this amazing weekend, fear not! We have a lot more psychedelic folk rocking to go around:

September 11 – Vancouver Art Gallery – 12:05pm – for the Zeitgeist media festival
(update – it was super fun to play outside on a huge stage, thanks to the organizers for inviting us)

September 24 – Kranky Cafe (228 E 4th St & Main St) – 8pm

September 28 – Cafe Deux Soleils – 9pm

We are pleased to announce that plans are in the works for a short musical adventure in one of our favourite cities. Your friendly neighbourhood prog-folkers will be in Berlin from October 15-22nd.

Our first official gig is at the Max Fish located at Veteranenstraße 21, Thursday October 20th.

More music is in the works as well. We plan on dropping in on our friends at Classical Revolution Berlin for their Sunday night jam, and a few other shows around town. Right now, we’d love to connect with some other bands in the city. Maybe you’d like to play on one of our booked bills, or maybe we can jump on to one of yours if you have need for a tasty opening act!

Watch this space for more information, darlings!
