hey, hey, hey!

the arkells are a great local band that if you're not already checking out, you deffo should. and there's no time like the present! they're doing a free show in toronto this saturday night. their latest video dropped last week, for the ballad of hugo chavez.

and if you liked that, you can check out their stripped down version...performed on a streetcar courtesy of the transit tapes. cannot wait until the transit tapes site goes live later this month. essentially, they're filming great indie bands performing on public transit. you can follow them on twitter to get all of their latest updates, or you can check out all of the bands they've filmed so far on their youtube page. (the gentleman reg vid is totes worth checking out too. the audio isn't final on this one just yet, but i heart that the drummer is keeping beat on the handrail).
