Sadly, another band that will probably never play Calgary.

Yeah I remember trying to go to that show..I was living in Calgary at the time and could'nt make a trip out to Vancouver. Tickets were like $20 bucks or something rediculously cheap, for a band of that calibur.
I've been a fan of these guys for a long time and they are really turning heads now. The live DVD Okonokos is fantastic. They are not only a great live act but their albums range from really good to brilliant, and Jim James is a great songwriter.
