Got a couple of news items in the “visuals” department today.
Firstl off, Jeff Buchanan has posted some awesome photos from the Hardball Cafe in Milton, ON.
Second, bassist Jack Syperek has a painting up for grabs on eBay. It’s to benefit Song For Africa. Bid away.
Oh, the things you learn reading Trews interviews.
Here are a couple: The DRP and Crusher Magazine
On Tuesday, the guys shot a video for Can’t Stop Laughing in Niagara Falls. The Niagara Falls Review caught up with the guys, here’s the interview:
In other news, the video for Paranoid Freak has been featured on Fuse’s The Worm.
Not a hell of a lot to post today. The US tour is winding down this week. There are some pics up on the Trews Flick Group from the show on April 17 in Rochester.
The Trews are twittering away and from there we can see that they are shooting a music video today, presumably for Can’t Stop Laughing. Obviously, we’ll post that here when it’s released. For now, here’s a video of the guys playing Stray almost 5 years ago in Burlington, with a short cover of Reef’s Place Your Hands and an absolutely ridiculous John-Angus guitar solo.
As you might have already seen on The Trews’ Official Website, a one-hour version of their acoustic show at the Glenn Gould theatre in Toronto will air tonight on CBC’s Bold in Canada. I previously reported that it would air last Sunday, April 12, but I was mistaken – blame Bold’s online schedule for that. Anyway, it’s on at 7:00 PM and 11:00 PM. Tune in people, if you’ve got the channel. I don’t, so I’ll be watching the NBA Playoffs tonight and awaiting the release of the acoustic show on DVD.
If for some reason you haven’t joined The Trews Street Team, now is the time! When you sign up for the Street Team and promote the band, you earn points that can be redeemed for cool stuff. This cool stuff now includes autographed goodies. Check it out.
Heya. Not a whole lot of news to report the last couple of days, but I’ve stumbled upon a 4-part video interview from Zed 99 in Alberta. Sounds like it was done around the time The Trews were touring with Ace Frehley, so it’s not as current as some of the other stuff I’ve been posting. Still, worth a watch. Click Read More for the videos.
This morning I’ve got another live video update for ya. These ones are courtesy of Kendra Hettrich. Here we have two from The Trews show in Brantford, Ontario on December 3, 2008. If you are a Rolling Stones fan, I’m sure you’ll appreciate these – You Can’t Always Get What You Want and Gimme Shelter. As well, we’ve got Sing Your Heart Out, the newest Trews song, live from the Town Ballroom in Buffalo on February 13, 2009.
Here’s You Can’t Always Get What You Want, click Read More for the others.
I’ve got a few more Trews interviews for ya today – text, audio, and video! First of all, you can read an interview with Colin MacDonald at All Access Magazine, conducted as they were starting their current US tour.
Second, John-Angus MacDonald guested on the Fantalk podcast just a couple of days ago. Skip to about 5 minutes in to hear the interview with J-A. If you’re a Trews expert, you probably won’t learn anything new, but you might get a laugh or two out of it.
Third, there’s a five-part video interview at BiteTV, filmed at the Bovine in Toronto. It’s great stuff and I’m kinda surprised I hadn’t come across this thing before, it was posted in December! Here are the links:

Jonathan Evans has posted some Trews live shots on his photoblog. Check ‘em out.
If you wanna check out more photos of The Trews, the best places to go are the Flickr photostream, the Flickr group, and Nancy Derosiers Live Photography. More posts coming today, including some more videos.
