If you know one thing about this blog post, know that I know it could be filed under Canadian sacrilege.
I’ve never been a Tragically Hip fan, but I understand that thousands of you out there would give up a keg of Alpine to see them in concert. Don’t ask me why, I just don’t get it. And yes, I’ve noted the irony that below this very blog post is a review of a Justin Bieber concert. Like I say in that review, I love concerts, I just don’t love The Tragically Hip. There’s always been something about them that comes off has smug. (Oh god, just typing that, I can feel the hate tweets coming in.) But I don’t think I’m alone.
For as long as I can remember this band has just never done it for me. Sometimes I think it’s their songs that always sounds just too similar or other times, I think it’s their attitude.That being said, the band has just announced a big ol’ Canadian tour and for your sake, more than mine, here are the tour dates.Tickets go on sale on October 16th.
