The New Pornographers, that grand Canadian purveyor of all things good, have announced their Australian sideshows. They were recently made part of the first Great Escape lineup announcement and after that appearance they will playing 5 more dates around Australia. The band made their maiden voyage to Australia in December, 2006 and I saw their excellent show at the Gaelic Club. This time I plan to see them in a similar sized venue, the Annandale Hotel. Hopefully Neko Case will be part of the lineup again. The amazing talents of Dan Bejar? We can only hope, can't we?
