Arkells Banned from Hamilton Club "For Life"

Via @arkellsmusic on Twitter, 17 minutes ago: Hamilton supergroup the Arkells, one of the fastest rising groups in Canada this year report that they have been banned from Hamilton's Club Absinthe "for life" for the crime of sneaking in the back door.

Hint for Club Absinthe - if one of the most popular bands in the country, who also happen to be local, want to hang out at your club, let them - no matter which door they want to enter through. Having popular local musicians hang out in your place makes your club look cooler.

The Arkells Go Country in Hamilton on Friday

This Friday in Hamilton the Pepper Jack Cafe will close it's doors. As a send off the Surly Young Bucks will reuinite. The Surly Young Bucks are Dan Griffin, Mike DeAngelis and Max Kerman from the the Arkells and Aaron goldstein and Adam Melnick from the band Huron. Joining the bucks will be Wax Mannequin, Terra Lightfoot and Richard Laviolette

So, if you're in or around Hamilton this Friday and aren't tied up with the Pitter Patter Festival stop by and say goodbye to the Pepper Jack Cafe and likely to the Surley Young Bucks as well.

If you can't make it, or if you'd like a preview the Bucks (at the Pepper Jack) sound like this
