Paul Collins’ The Beat and Dany Laj & The Looks are currently on tour together all across Canada and the U.S. They’ll bring their sounds to the Filling Station in Bozeman on Wednesday, April 20th at 7pm. Tickets to this 21+ show are only $7.50 and available in store or online at cactusrecords.net/. In the true spirit of DIY touring, Dany Laj and Paul Collins have teamed up to bring their brand of rocking power pop to the masses!
In what has now become a way of life, the tour will involve up-and-coming bands on every stop. “We love to support all the new bands that are popping up everywhere,” says Paul Collins. As in most of the tours The Beat is involved in, they start as simple ideas: “Hey you want to do a tour?,” “Hell Yeah!” That was bassist for Dany Laj & The Looks Jeanette Dowling’s response to Paul when he suggested their two bands join forces for this massive tour that began in Toronto March 30th and concludes in Brooklyn April 30th. One added feature to the US dates will be the “Record Fair/Happy Hour with DJ” concept that Paul has been pioneering since last year. As Paul tells it, “This has been the single best idea to get the shows to be more fun and bring people out earlier so the opener can play to a crowd!” Cool local record shops are invited to come down and bring their selection of cool vintage rock LP’s to start the night off with a celebration of rock n roll records. Add in a happy hour and a DJ and you have an awesome rock ‘n’ roll cocktail of fun! Cactus Records is set to be on hand for the Bozeman show.
